PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Jon Snow (ranked 22231 p4p, 6084 weight class) and Franko De Cremonesi (ranked 537 p4p, 493 weight class). De Cremonesi has chosen Paint It, Black as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Franko De Cremonesi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
