PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between David Tua (ranked 23057 p4p, 454 weight class) and Alex Alexandrov (ranked 22607 p4p, 469 weight class). Alexandrov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
