PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Jonh Marreta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derrick Gillette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Derrick Gillette struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?
