PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between John Brophy (ranked 4532 p4p, 588 weight class) and Takamura Mamoru (ranked 2422 p4p, 349 weight class). Brophy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Last Caress - Metallica. Mamoru has chosen The Great Takamura as his entrance music. John Brophy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
