PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between William Henry Bonney (ranked 1918 p4p, 192 weight class) and Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 14986 p4p, 439 weight class). Bonney kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Call me Young Gun. Vamoosh has chosen The Roaring Tiger as his entrance music. 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.
