Warchild and I made the trip east to the CES 43 which is taking place in Beverly Mass. The North Shore Music Theatre is a very nice venue with stadium seating and smack dab in the middle is the cage. There isn't a bad seat in the house. They lost one fight due to opponent not showing up at weigh ins so they are a total of 10 fights tonight. This is the second time CES has done a show here in Beverly Mass for you at home keeping score. The venue serves drinks and select items of food which is nice. The sound system in the theatre is superb and you can hear the announcer clearly.
