The
latest event returned to its earlier days by taking the event
outdoors. The weather was perfect for the night of fights under
the stars. The level of young boxers has steadily increased with
every event. Crisp punches thrown in fast combinations help to
warm up the crowd for the matches that this event is known for,
Grudge matches. These matches are meant to settle personal scores
between people and for the most part it works. Most of the time
the details of the issue are not known, however, whatever Tyson
Decker did to Nigel Stevens was enough for Stevens' supporters
to come to the event with a banner saying "Kick Ass, Stop
your lippin' (crap)" and those same supporters were heckling
Decker the whole time. Unfortunately for the Stevens crowd, Decker
was the one that would have the final word by choking Stevens
into submission. Other matches brought the crowd to their feet
were the come from behind wins from Gersaba and Lindsey.
The
night was capped off with something that you would only see in
Kona. In the main event match, right after the Doctor signaled
to the referee to put a halt to the McBraun-Fuga match due to
Fuga injuring his elbow, Bounty hunter Leland Chapman, son of
famous bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, came into
the cage, handcuffed Pat McBraun and took him away with the Sheriffs.
McBraun had an outstanding bench warrant and the promoter felt
that it was safer to allow the Sheriffs and Chapman to apprehend
McBraun in the cage instead of in the crowd. A&E television
cameras were there following Chapman around all night and got
a taste of how unruly a crowd can be when one of the cameras
was pushed or hit while following McBraun out of the area. On
a side note, Leland Chapman's Da Kine Bail Bonds has been one
of the event's sponsors and provided a lot of support to the
event for a long time. McBraun was seen later in Lulu's, a popular
bar later that night and had no hard feelings toward the promoter.
