PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Krzysztof Szczęsny (ranked 17005 p4p, 822 weight class) and Robert MacArthur Jnr (ranked 2861 p4p, 387 weight class). Szczęsny's entrance music is Immortal Technique-Obnoxious. A fine choice. MacArthur Jnr comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scotland the Brave kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
