PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between James Adams (ranked 3055 p4p, 83 weight class) and Anton Kruglov (ranked 2984 p4p, 79 weight class). Adams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Thom Pace - Maybe. 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 Anton Kruglov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
