PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Loke Axelsen (ranked 1149 p4p, 5674 weight class) and Darwin Hampton (ranked 42 p4p, 193 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Axelsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cha Cha PT2- Freddie Dredd. Hampton has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Loke Axelsen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
