PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Sawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pacquiao has chosen Thunderstruck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pacquiao has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jake Sawa could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Junior Pacquiao's chin.
