PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ko Specialist Specialist (ranked 7306 p4p, 98 weight class) and Balthazar Theron (ranked 6312 p4p, 185 weight class). Theron has chosen Living on a Prayer 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 Balthazar Theron was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
