Carrasco comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hemhenti kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Piet Kriel had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
