PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 258 p4p, 202 weight class) and Boris Krylov (ranked 45 p4p, 37 weight class). McGuire's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Confederate Railroad - Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind. Krylov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. For Heavy Metal we will die! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
