PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Wolfgang Benson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alice Cooper - Schools Out. Silver has chosen Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
