PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Heribert Bosch (ranked 38 p4p, 5 weight class) and Chiku Maneno (ranked 135 p4p, 19 weight class). Bosch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oktoberfest. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
