... Thank you !!! fighters ,fans,staff,commission,and crew ! Congrats to all of the fighters for stepping in the ring and giving it your all !!every one looked good. Aaron & Bryant what a great fight ,I am sure we will see these to war again ,like I am sure we will see John Nunnery and Roller one day square off. Congrats Brett Roller our first :Tap or Snap feather weight champion To answer a few questions some had. John Moldanado sat 30 days and paid a fine to the commission and I put him on the card every one needs a second chance.I dont know what happened last night but now he has to go before the commission to ever fight again in Colorado,and yes he has fought before so ???? Thanks again to everyone and a special thanks to the Joint Forces that help us out Saturday morning. p.s ( if you want lights buy a lamp,if you want good fights buy a Tap Or Snap ticket. |

... My show notes - I really liked the venue. It was easy to see the ring from any vantage point, bathrooms were close (and clean), and the ring looked good. - This was the first show to have 3 pro fights on one card in Colorado Springs. - Big congrats to Truxell for getting out of that armbar. That fight didn't last that long but went back and forth. I'd love to see a rematch of that one. - Next Tap or Snap will be in Castle Rock, August 18th. Fighters on the card, Frankie McIvery, James Funny vs. Chris Camozzi, and a few others were mentioned by I forgot who. - Not sure why John Maldonaldo didn't fight. Rumors were that he went with his brother Chris (who fought and won earlier in the night) to the hospital. Either way I felt bad for Jason Brenton who brought a boat load of people down from Denver to watch him fight. - Fortherelentless.com was definitely in the house. I like the way the gear is looking, very nice. - Eric Lalone once again did a great job on the mic, and even made it through the few bumps in the road very well. I think that's it, if I think of more I'll post em. |

... The venue was great! Much more professional than an abandoned super market. And yes, three pro fights was a first. Some people are just too cheap to make a card like that. |

... Just to clear something up that armbar was not tight had it been the out come would have been different.I threw it sloppy and without softning him up.I'm taking nothing away from aaron he is very tough and very strong but i made the mistake and he capitilized.I sincerly hope we get the chance to do it again. |

... Didn't this Maldonado character refuse to fight another time. Has anyone even seen this guy fight yet. 2nd chances are fine but lets not go overboard. This guy needs to find a new hobby. The preparations of the fight are too much for Maldonado, I'd hate to see what happened to him if he actually stepped into the ring. We'd probably see a wild banshee or a scared cat. |
No Way Jose

... Being relatively new to town I'm disappointed. Were you guys at the same event I was at? Outside of the venue being nice looking, almost everything about the event sucked ass. First - No National Anthem was performed - what the hell is up with that? Second - *Comment Removed by Admin* Third - The sound was G-d awful - echoing everywhere. I couldn't understand Eric or the fighters or the sponsors when they talked into the microphone. Fourth - When seven out of eight fights (with three pro fights on the card) are stopped in the first round - that's a poor showing on the part of the match maker. Look, I give credit where credit is due and I also tell it like it is. That event was crap. It really was. I believe that the favorable write-ups on this message board might have something to do with the advertising dollars that Tap or Snap puts towards this website. I feel completely cheated out of the $40 I spent on a ticket. No way am I going to the Castle Rock event. |

... No Way Jose an answer to all.... First- the national anthem was played before the main event just like every promotion does i.e ufc, wec, and most colorado shows... so yes the anthem was played and i have been to events where they do not play it ever,, Second- You didnt drink enough and even though it is nice to see hot girls in the ring this is a fighting event not americas next top model.. and if your actually fighting its less of a distraction... Third- I personally could give a s**t what the announcer has to say once again your there to watch fights not to listen to how wonderful eric sounds on the mic.. maybe it was the location you were sitting cause there has been mixed feelings about the sound... Fourth- Nobody can predict how a fight is going to turn out.. if you watched ufc 73 that was supposed to be one of the best cards ever and more than half i believe 5 were finished in the first round... so does that mean that the match makers in the ufc suck no that is just how fighting works when you get caught you get caught thats all there is to it.. so yes give your credit where credit is do and keep supporting local fighters if you are an mma fan if you go to fights to find something to b***h about then go check out other shows and see how they compare. building a good show takes a long time its not like people just let you use there venues for free it costs a ton of money to put on a show and i honestly could care less where its at just as long as i can put on a show for all the die hard mma fans here in colorado and get my name out there so thanks everybody who came to the show to support local fighters even you no way jose |

... First No way Jose *cough cough Ninja guest account* I don't get paid jack s**t for anything I do to this site, I am not told how to write anything, and to be frank sometime I speak out about s**t on the cards that I don't like, but Mike always trieds keeping it as nuetral as posible. I think Roller already pointed all the s**t that is wrong with you stuff, either way, I can for one say that my opinons are swayed with money or anything, I mean come on, what do you think I am? A p**sy who has ot make up a screen name to talk s**t, but is to afraid to use their real name? Naw man, there's enough of that coming from you, and all the other "guest" ninjas on here. |

... another thing is, I am a fan of the sport first and foremost, and if anyone here wants to say I am biased shoudl talk to the folks at NME, including Berry who was tehre atteh time, who heard that I was very very interested doing their commentary. I think there is liek 20 people formtown, including Brian from round one, who knew that I wanted to do the commentaing for their tv show. So that s**t can go out teh window. Try again Ninjas, my kung fu is better then you! |

... I wrote this prior to teaching class and am only posting it now, so some of this stuff has already been addressed. I thought the show was very well put together, and most of the people I talked to in attendance did as well. To address some of NO WAYS comments let me hit them point by point. #1 As per the boxing commission, the National Anthem is played before the main event. This is what is done at the major shows and they want to keep the professionalism up. #2. That is your opinion; a lot of people think the complete opposite. If you are referencing their attire, it is what all ring card girls have worn for as long as I can remember. #3 There was a small problem with an overheated amplifier. The problem was fixed and we back going strong afterward. I was in charge of hiring the disc jockey service and the guy who owns the company is a good friend of mine, and it was dealt with. As far as echoing, I didn’t hear any of that and I received all sorts of compliments about how well it sounded (except for the minor problem). If it was hard to understand the fighters that’s understandable, they just got done winning a fight. With any large venue like that it will echo a little. Sound problems can plague any event. Another show in Colorado Springs didn’t have sound for first 5 fights. That kind of stuff happens. #4 The days are not the same when a fight seemed to be mismatched by the round in which it ended. There are a number of fights that end quickly because someone got “caught,” even though it was a quality fight up until that point. Just watch any of the TUF series and you see the same thing. Finally; to insinuate that the favorable write up came because of advertising dollars is outright WRONG. Mike is one of the most neutral guys on the planet and does not sell out. He will talk about the good things and items that need improvement with any show he visits. It’s just the way he is. If you have any questions about this or you want to talk to me, I invite you to call me; 719-630-8373 Eric LaLone |

... I don't like the anthem being played before the main event. Seems weird to me. It seems to throw the crowd off as well. I see looks on faces that say "what the hell?" Most of the shows I've been to play it at the beginning of the show (which seems proper to me). I know Tap or Snap has been doing this but none of the Denver shows do. |

... The national anthem being played right before the main event comes directly from the Colorado State Boxing Commission. Their reason is that everyone is seated, all eyes are on the center of the ring, and nobody will be off getting a beer or a cigarette while it is playing. I actually prefer it for just those reasons. |

... I'm not used to it being played before the main event just yet. I still like it at the beginning of a show. To me it is THE way to start off a sporting event. I'm always a bit confused when they play it before the main event. It always feels like a malfunction, like, 'hey we finally found the national anthem cd'. Also, I was at the baseball all star game a few years ago and right after the anthem a stealth flew over, I still got chills from that moment. |
David
said:
|
... I can understand that line of thought but it's still not the appropiate time to play it. The anthem should be at the beginning of the show. It's a shame that the boxing commission gets so much say in the matter. Then again, they don't pull that in Denver. MMAbuzz, that's the exact sort of thing I sense in the rest of the crowd. And when there's already been some glitches it just adds to the list (not that this IS a glitch). |

... I would to rebute the coments made about nunnerys fans after the fight, I saw the people who started the altercation and although they were there rooting for nunnery they are in no way personal friends or his, they grew up in the same town and heard his name mentioned on the radio so I hope this doesnt make it tough for him to get fights because he is a great guy who i think has a big future in the sport. |
Dinstitute
said:

... I'll be honest with you. A promoter might think otherwise because of the people that came to see him fight. Promotions are a business and anything that might hurt your business will make you hesitate a little. They may not be his fans, just people who know of him, but they might make someone think twice before bringing him into fight. Is is right. Probably not, but that's the way it works. I really enjoyed their fight though. Very back and forth. |
