PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Pat Barry (ranked 3163 p4p, 387 weight class) and John Kyle Romo (ranked 7574 p4p, 651 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sweet Dreams. 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 John Kyle Romo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
