PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Alistair Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krzysztof Szczęsny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) . Szczęsny has chosen Immortal Technique-Obnoxious 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?
