PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Karlos Svoboda (ranked 6620 p4p, 409 weight class) and Balthazar Theron (ranked 6922 p4p, 416 weight class). Theron has chosen Living on a Prayer as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Karlos Svoboda has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Karlos Svoboda seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
