Waste of Time/Saturday Night
by STP2006 on 4/13/13Hampton Coliseum - HamptonI purchased two, general admission tickets for $35 each and I can honestly say I should have saved the money for something better. To start things off, the event started 30 minutes late. The music that played while we were waiting was extremely loud and obnoxious. Once the announcer started, I thought it might be pretty good. I was wrong. Every fight ended by submission in the 1st or 2nd round. Not a single fight lasted for all three rounds. Most of the guys were fighting "independently." Not to insult the people that came out to do what they train for, but it was flat out boring. There was a lack of skill and tactic. These guys threw punches sloppily and whoever got worn out first, lost. I understand that not everyone is going to be awesome, it's an amateur league. But I, as a supporter, should not have to spend 70 bucks to watch a mediocre (at best) performance. When I had looked at the website and seen some other reviews, I was expecting to at least be entertained! Maybe this event is not indicative of all of their events, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money.
