PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suri's entrance music is Bohemia - Kali Denali . A fine choice. Gibson has chosen The Smiths - Is It Really So Strange as his entrance music. 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?
