Facebook Fightnight Live Does 230,000 Views On Saturday DC Show
On Saturday night, boxing was made available in DC, and streamed on Facebook, on the Fightnight Live series, now in its second season.
I worked blow by blow, with Franchon Crews-Dezurn…

…and we were both quite impressed with the headliner, Alantez Fox. More on him in a moment…Now all the pics you see come from the eyes and lens of David Spagnolo. I always enjoy his work, and that's why I am posting this pic-heavy look back…

Before the main event, we were most impressed with Christian Esquivel (below right), a 126 pounder from Mexico, who took on 7-1 Jordan White. The Mexican hitter lost a UD6 but won our hearts, with his gritty effort.
We streamed from a new arena, the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Tricky Entertainment and Chris Middendorf promoted the scraps, for the record. Spagnolo shot fighting, and other stuff…

Fifth round, y'all.
This cop can keep the peace…and disrupt things too, when the time calls for it. Tiara Brown is a rising star. David Spagnolo pic.
The main eventer, Alantez Fox, was “on.” Yeah, Nick Brinson scored with some rights; but then Fox, now 25-1-1, adapted, and pulled away.
Fox had the height advantage, and used it well.
Everlast, meet Brinson.
Hooked worked, too.
Now you kind of know how Brinson felt.
Seven bouts, some solid matchmaking. The B sides came to rumble. And the viewers responded–230,000 views and counting.
