PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Karol Tarczynski (ranked 2068 p4p, 257 weight class) and Nieky Holzken (ranked 18201 p4p, 720 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nieky Holzken was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
