PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Rodrigo Duterte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pele Madriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duterte might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tayo ay Dabawenyo. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
