Romano comes into the arena with Search and Destroy blaring out of the sound system. Benatar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
