PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Addition BySubtraction (ranked 2740 p4p, 2341 weight class) and Daniel Mendoza (ranked 285 p4p, 240 weight class). BySubtraction kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lay My Claim. Daniel Mendoza struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
