On November 10th Epic Fighting put on their 15th event. It was an all amateur show with some good talent. Except for the title fight, the rounds were only two minutes which is why some of my play by play for some rounds seems so small. Also the half point scoring system was used. The audio was terrible so it was hard to hear the ring announcer. I believe the scores are accurate but there may be an instance or two where I am off by a half point or so.
