PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Jakul DuVicius (ranked 4487 p4p, 4432 weight class) and Timothy Spence (ranked 434 p4p, 427 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Spence's choice of entrance music: He's A Mental Giant. 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 Timothy Spence was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
