The Las Vegas boxers were excellent and brought a big crowd and excitement. The kidney/liver punch knockout was a first for me. The title fight was entertaining for the entire ten rounds. Plus we saw George Bell the tallest man in the United States.
I am huge boxing fan for decades. It has been a very long time since I have seen such a well-produced lineup. The venue is not too large and very well designed overall. "Friday Night Fights" has exceptional promise for a traditional boxing come back. Roy Jones Jr productions and the Downtown at The D Hotel Las Vegas is magical combination. Hope see many more events just like this.
I've been to 2 of these events and they were both outstanding!
So the weather was perfect .. It was outside.. There was food and beverages... The " port pottys".. Cleanest and best bathroom at an event EVER!!! Open layout .. You can walk around, see the famous people.. Get snap shots of them.. Autographs..
Great time with my son. Great fights, affordable and not a bad seat in the house. Met Larry Holmes, my favorite fighter ever! Love going to the Sand Bethlehem for boxing.
There were many more matches than marketed with the ticket. Even after the TV broadcasted main event was over after 11:00 pm you could stay for three more bouts! The seating was comfortable and easy to get around. My highlight was meeting and chatting with the GREAT Larry Holmes who was in the bar area casually visiting with fans.
This was an excellent showcase and I recommend anyone in the San Diego area who wants to see great up and coming fighters go to this exhibition. The food and drink service was great, the fighters were great, and the atmosphere was great. Can't wait until the next event.
The first bout started a little late and the event center at the fairgrounds was a bit sticky with the hot weather, but all in all, once the fights began, the show proved to be excellent. Four tremendous bouts, culminating in a much-anticipated ten-round bantanweight championship main event that was good enough easily to be a televised main event from anywhere in the country! Even though I sat row 1 ringside I noticed tickets started at just $25 for elevated bleachers with excellent sightlines...seemed like a good value. Beverages were cold and easy to get, food was hot. Ring card girls were decent eye candy...it was awesome when they threw out sponsored T-shirts and sport bottles from the ring (they did it a couple of times!). The live mariachi players featured during the pre-show was a nice, fun touch. Next live boxing event scheduled at the fairgrounds by the same local promoter is Friday night, October 25th. I'd definitely recommend it!
The boxing event was not planned very well. We got no brochure as to how many bouts there would be, how long each bout would be or who the boxers would be. I purchased tickets in the 120 section because on the web site this is where the boxing was to be held. They changed the location of the boxing so that I had to change seats. It would have been nice if we had informatio on the fighters. Their record, name, weight, boxing record, and some summary.
I will not be going back to Rising Start Casino. The boxing itself was good. The management of the event was awful. The announcer apparently had never seen boxing before; hard to understand, not informative, did not get the crowd into it. The ring girl had no idea what to do. The ring cards were hand done - and not always with the right card for the next round. They kept running out of beer. The only selections were Budwieser and Bud Light - ick.
Great I had a good time no problems. Got to meet a lot of known boxers and I would definitely want to do it again.
Overall it was great, the only thing that went wrong was they did not have our sitting section E row 9 there was no row 9! they sat use in the wrong sits then gave use different tickets but still sat use in the wrong section. Fights were good......
Gary Shaw did a great job. Good match up's. Always enjoy a Showtime covered event. The Taylor fight was stopped a little early, however, still a really good fight. This is the second time we've attended a Morongo site boxing event, first time was James Tony, purchased (10) tickets, and this fight, (4) tickets where purchased. BOTH TIMES, our seats where not available. Had to be moved three times during this event. Morongo needs to care more about their events when providing the venue location.
Very good card! No Programs were available for boxing card. Attend number of boxing matches, never has the promotion team Not provide a program for fights. You figure a promotion team called DreamTeam, would provide information on up and coming fighters. Once again, got my money's worth, however, could have used a program.
Paid $98 for 2 tickets to watch 2 short boxing matches. Stood in line for 45 minutes and waited about an additional 1 hours to see about 30 minutes worth of boxing. Was very disappointed for the amount of money I paid. Will not go back to another one.
I got these tickets for my husband and I for our Annivesary, he loves boxing. The doors opened late, the event started late, and to top it off 5 of the 7 fights were cancelled. Not pleased! I would have rather the event been cancelled all together and rescheduled than to have seen such a bad match between Smith and the Cincinnati boy. Terrible! I want my money back!!!!!
Great club level boxing. Great location for boxing all seats with good view.
