PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Liam George (ranked 2940 p4p, 23518 weight class) and DJ Chavis (ranked 375 p4p, 623 weight class). 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 DJ Chavis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
