Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Riley Knox (ranked 3777 p4p, 6756 weight class) and Miguel Cotto (ranked 456 p4p, 645 weight class). Knox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
