PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Damari Thibodeaux (ranked 4776 p4p, 4898 weight class) and Alexandru Coval (ranked 416 p4p, 426 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thibodeaux might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mo3 - Word Around Town. 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.
