Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Tao comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Philip Bailey - Walking on the Chinese Wall kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Yin Tao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
