PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Miralem Hadzija (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dodelike Slag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hadzija kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Happy. Miralem Hadzija looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
