🏟 LIVE REVIEW--🏟 CAGE TITANS 57--1/7/2023---PLYMOUTH MA --[Start Time 6:00PM EST]

--THE LEAD-IN--

Cage Titans is back in action tonight starting at 6PM unless there are some delays.  They have an action packed card with 1 Muay Thai fight followed by 14 fights of mixed martial arts.  Cage Titans has a whole slew of their staple fighters fighting tonight so we all know it is going to be a great show.  The show was announced a few days ago that it was sold out so many will be ordering the stream and watching from home such as myself.  This is also the first show that Cage Titans will be using their new streaming place called Spectation Sports.  Here is the link for the stream.  This is a membership type place so for $19.99 a month you can watch Cage Titans event and many other events.  They also have fun contests and betting lines but you can't bet on the site however.  Please follow along as I recap the evening.

--THE WRAP UP--

Cage Titans returns March 18th for their 58th show so mark your calendars for that one. Cage Titans started off 2023 with a bang with another stellar sold out show. The production was solid and I enjoyed the experience with Spectation Sports who was their new streaming provider. The instant replay was awesome and the corner cams were a nice addition to the viewing experience. In the Peter Barrett fight the stream went down and it looked like Spectation Sports site was down but it quickly came back and I was able to rewind to see that fight. Speaking of that, being able to rewind back in the stream was awesome as well! Sometimes you just want to see that knockout again or go back and catch that missed time. The post interviews on Youtube and Facebook were also well done. The audio was much improved. Well, that about wraps this review up so thank you all for following along.
