PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlos Narvaez (ranked 1611 p4p, 22777 weight class) and Leon Bowser (ranked 112 p4p, 310 weight class). Narvaez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ă‘etas for Life - Anvesh Mallick. Bowser has chosen House Of Pain - Jump Around as his entrance music. 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.
