PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Ryszard Wojcik (ranked 1536 p4p, 204 weight class) and Aaron Lowell (ranked 5488 p4p, 496 weight class). Lowell is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Qemists - Run You. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
