PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Tom Baker (ranked 4265 p4p, 411 weight class) and Thanongsaklek Diamond Muay Thai (ranked 23444 p4p, 533 weight class). Baker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Steve Blackman WWE theme. The crowd seem to be enjoying Diamond Muay Thai's choice of entrance music: Mocca garden - ผมรักเมื$. 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.
