PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Pat Hatton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pat Hatton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Junior Tyson is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
