PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 17728 p4p, 19381 weight class) and Vincent McGuire (ranked 624 p4p, 627 weight class). La Croix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ca Plane Pour Moi. 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.
