Review: Fightville
The weight-loss ritual (for reaching the range of the assigned weight class) is especially gruelling and extreme. Coupled with the likely harmful effects on the heart, this process adds another bit of ambivalence to the overall healthiness of the sport. The fights themselves are surprisingly anti-climatic. Perhaps opting for less explicit or rowdy fights for the sake of taming detractors, Epperlein & Tucker show matches that are usually over just as they begin, ending with few punches or flashy moves (save for one feel-good connection).
