PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jerome Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Philo Beddoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taylor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is #1. 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.
