Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Swift Taylor (ranked 5651 p4p, 5810 weight class) and Marvin Hagler (ranked 558 p4p, 575 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taylor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad Blood. Swift Taylor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
