PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Franko De Cremonesi (ranked 6126 p4p, 5683 weight class) and Choi Ong (ranked 571 p4p, 543 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Cremonesi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Paint It, Black. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
