PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Keith Ronald Kernspecht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shingo Takeda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takeda has chosen TAKEDA as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
