Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Fred Bizihwaeile (ranked 3089 p4p, 5371 weight class) and Carlotos Spiteri (ranked 369 p4p, 532 weight class). Bizihwaeile kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pardon my G! . Spiteri comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Day to day basis kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
