PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Leon Bowser (ranked 5105 p4p, 4820 weight class) and Cheyenne Little Dove (ranked 317 p4p, 306 weight class). Bowser kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is House Of Pain - Jump Around. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Cheyenne Little Dove was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
