After dropping Berlanga twice late in the fourth. Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KOs) wasted no time pressing the action in round five. A sharp right left combination rocked Berlanga early, forcing him to reach for balance and touch the canvas with his glove an automatic knockdown by boxing rules. Referee David Fields immediately stepped in, recognizing that Berlanga was badly hurt and in no shape to continue, officially stopping their “Ring III” pay-per-view main event at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
