WCA Strikers Series
Playground Poker Tent
Saturday October 12, 2019
Who needs the Bell Centre? Ridiculous ticket prices and where do you park?
At Playground there are acres of free self -parking in addition to free valet parking, and ample handicapped parking spots close to the main entrance.
Saturday afternoon the tent at Playground Poker was the scene of professional kickboxing, part of the WCA Strikers Series. Eight matches were scheduled, one of which had to be cancelled beyond the control of the promoters, due to immigration problems for one of the combatants.
Of the remaining seven fights, we saw two technical knockouts, one disqualification, and four fights decided on the judges’ scorecards. One of the decisions came on the 155 lbs Inter-Continental fight between Dietrich Sanders from Nashville TN and Killian Emery of Geneva, Switzerland which Emery emerged victoriously.
General admission was $30 which is what you would pay for a couple of beers at the Bell Centre which would explain the large turnout.
Next boxing event is scheduled for February 28, 2020
