PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Junior Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregory Micheal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Junior Sanchez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
