PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Marco Salamanca (ranked 21574 p4p, 2411 weight class) and Alec Harvey (ranked 510 p4p, 298 weight class). Salamanca's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Superstar Cypress Hill. Harvey comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Choke kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
