PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Gerrie Schutte (ranked 5499 p4p, 491 weight class) and Mark Pearson (ranked 5777 p4p, 506 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schutte might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Groot Voël Paradys. Mark Pearson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
