PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Jani Tor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Best Ever (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pirkka First Choice Cola - . Ever has chosen Gateways as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
