Bishop kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mos Def - Auditorium. 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.
