PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Glen Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Celtics. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kafka's choice of entrance music: Haters Gonna Hate. This should be a great matchup!
