Asylum Fight League 40 Report




This was my first time watching an Asylum Fight League event. I was pretty impressed. Seemed to be well organized and fairly matched fights. Seemed to be put together by people who actually know the sport as opposed to someone who is a fan and wanted to run a show. Some things I could do without such as I am guessing the promoter, getting on the mike between fights, that comes off a bit amateur.In trying to hype fights like that, you can over-hype them and put more pressure on fighters. Also, no intermission. I know, to many, the intermission is boring, however, I think a short one of maybe ten minutes is a good thing. If people need a break to go to the restroom or something, that intermission helps them to not miss any of the action. But these are minor things and all in all, I think Asylum Fight League is a company I will want to watch more of. Please not that in addition to the usual amateur rules, in New Jersey there is no head strikes on the ground. Also, they appear to have different weight classes from most, so to make it easier for people, I list them in what would be around the normal weight class in most places.
