Thursday Night at the Fights: Blood and hope mingle in the ring each week in AnchorageThursday Night at the Fights is a club boxing event, with a weekly card from October through April, and is judged on pro rules. There are seven fights every Thursday -- two mixed martial arts matches and five boxing bouts. The range of fighters goes from first-timers to boxers with hundreds of matches under their belts.
