PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between George Ringo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Pierre Lebouer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lebouer has chosen Dire Straits - Brothers in arms as his entrance music. Lebouer has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 Jean Pierre Lebouer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
