PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Stigu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paquito del Pilar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stigu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sabrina, Boys. 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 Paquito del Pilar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
