Description
From 1973 to 1991, Milos “Sharkey” Begovich turned a cow pasture behind his casino into Gardnerville’s most legendary boxing venue. Sharkey’s Cow Pasture Slugfest wasn’t just about the fights—it was a community celebration filled with Western flair, local pride, and unforgettable matchups under the Nevada sky. Douglas County Rodeo Fight Night honors the spirit of that beloved tradition with a modern twist in this new annual event. What to Expect: • Unforgettable Matchups: Muay Thai and Sports entertainment like you’ve never seen. Think wildcards, upsets, and over-the-top action! • Local Heroes: Cheer on fighters from local gyms repping the heart and grit of Gardnerville. • Community Vibes: Food, drinks, music, and a nod to Milos “Sharkey” Begovich and original Cow Pasture spectacle under the stars. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind throwback to Nevada’s boldest boxing tradition!
