PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Xafan Kong (ranked 1618 p4p, 22755 weight class) and Antonio Jose De Sucre (ranked 230 p4p, 630 weight class). De Sucre comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bolivianos el Hado Propicio kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Antonio Jose De Sucre was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
