PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Eric Shavers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iggy Steve (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shavers might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bob Marley Get Up Stand Up. Steve has chosen The Vamps-Wake Up as his entrance music. Iggy Steve is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
