PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Stanislaw Cheba (ranked 5497 p4p, 422 weight class) and Hristo Mihailov (ranked 3450 p4p, 313 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 Hristo Mihailov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
