Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Shaggy Shank (ranked 3940 p4p, 435 weight class) and Ryu Boshi (ranked 3816 p4p, 419 weight class). Boshi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ryu's Theme Song. 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 Ryu Boshi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
