The illegal blow did look questionable to me too, but he defintely got struck in the head by Mir's knee and/or upper thigh, and they are going to err on the side of the fighter's safety, especially in an amateur fight.

I do think that Danza was outsized by his opponent since he looked small compared to Mir. I recall that he fought his last fight at 145 lbs so maybe this one at 160 lbs was a stretch anyway for him to fight someone sharing a famous fighter's surname. Still, a win is a win even if lame. Better luck in your next outing, Danza.
