SO WHAT ?
WHAT IS THIS ?
THAT IS WHY I AM HERE......... TO TELL YOU !
RING FIGHTING....THAT IS, IN A RING....ITS A CROSS BETWEEN UFC AND BOXING...THE FIGHTERS USE GLOVES...NO SHOES...THEY CAN KICK....THEY CAN HOLD....THEY DO NOT JUMP ON A DOWNED OPPONENT.....THEY CAN KICK TO THE GROIN AND HOLD AND HIT !
WE ENJOYED IT.
THIS EVENT..... 11 FIGHTS AT THE HARD ROCK LAS VEGAS....5 AMATEURS.... 3 AND FIVE ROUNDS....... TWO MINUTES A ROUND....PROS....FIVE ROUNDS THREE MINUTES...SCORING 10 POINT MUST SYSTEM.
A GOOD START TO THIS IS ...ITS IN LAS VEGAS AND THE NEVADA ATHETIC COMMISSION LOOKED AFTER IT...THUSLY...SOME PAPERWORK....LICENSCING AND TESTING INVOLVED.
THEY HAD TV WITH THE USUAL DEAD TIME PRIOR TO TV FIGHTS....RAP MUSIC SEMI OFFENSIVE AND TOO LOUD AND WE GOT TO HEAR THE THAI NATIONAL ANTHEM IT WAS 121 VERSES SHORT OF THE MEXICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM....THAT WAS A BLESSING.
INTERESTING CARD WITH MANY REAL EXPERIENCED FIGHTERS 255 FIGHTS.....169 FIGHTS AND SOME FIGHTERS WITH NONE.
THEY INTRODUCED THE FIGHTERS WALK INTO THE RING...... ONE OF THE WORLDS WORST IDEAS AND THEN INTRODUCED THEM AGAIN PRIOR TO THE FIGHTS....THEY SHOULD HAVE WENT FOR THE HAT TRICK AND GIVEN IT ANOTHER SHOT ON THE WAY OUT !
LIKE ALL MATCHES SOME BETTER THAN OTHERS MOST OF THE FIGHTERS CAME TO COMPETE ALTHO I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY OF THEM BEFORE AND MAY NOT AGAIN I WAS GLAD TO COVER THIS AND SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
NICE CROWD AT THE "JOINT" AT THE HARD ROCK....LION FIGHT 10....... THE TITLE FOR THIS...HOPE TO SEE MORE....PRETTY GOOD PRODUCTION...ALWAYS TOUGH TO KEEP THE FIGHTS CLOSE TOGETHER...WE DID FIVE HOURS FOR THE 11 MATCHES....YOU DO THE MATH.
THANK YOU LION 10....15 MINUTES LATE....
