PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Louis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts has chosen Singled Out by Diecast 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 Johnny Roberts was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
