A fine choice. Marstars comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Puddle of Mudd - Living on Borrowed Time kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! William Marstars told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
