Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Jose Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bernard Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres comes to the ring accompanied by When the Shit Goes Down . 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 Bernard Hopkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
