Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Robert Archer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Augustine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Archer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crysis. Augustine has chosen Empire State of Mind-Biggie Smalls ft. Jay-z as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
