🏟 EVENT REVIEW--🏟NEF 49 'Queen City Showdown'--9/9/2022--BANGOR MAINE-[Start Time 7:00PM EST]




--THE LEAD-IN--


New England Fights is back tonight with their 49th event to date.  They have put together a great card with 8 fights total after one fight got scrapped last minute.  The host of the night is of course Pete Czymbor and the refs are John English and Dale Hart.  I was at Rammstein last night at Gillette stadium so I couldn't make it live but I figured it would be fun to still do the write up the day later.  Hope you all enjoy reading it.

--THE WRAP UP--


This was another solid show from NEF and the fighters brought it. All but 2 of the fights were finishes which as a fight fan I love to see! The main event was awesome and I hate to see it come down to a controversial decision. I would love to see the main event in future NEF events be 5 rounders for the more experienced pro's. It is a great way for both fighters to get 25 minutes in the cage and also the fight fans get to see more finishes! It is a win for both the fighters and the fans. I do believe if the Watson/Gulfin fight went a few more rounds we would have seen one of them finish. Shout out to NEF for always supporting us and congrats to all the winners. I have to also pay respect to Mike Shorey who is fighting cancer. We are all praying for you buddy. Would you all like to see some 5 round main events at NEF if they are non title fights?? Let's argue in the comments!
