PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Pigeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Boreling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pigeon's entrance music is Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive. A fine choice. Boreling has chosen More than meets the eye as his entrance music. 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 Karl Boreling was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
