PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Eric Kronke (ranked 23454 p4p, 6087 weight class) and Jake Demuss (ranked 584 p4p, 574 weight class). Kronke comes to the ring accompanied by Feuer Frei. Demuss has chosen Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
