PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Lee Murray (ranked 23645 p4p, 4551 weight class) and Bigi Boi Chai (ranked 408 p4p, 376 weight class). Chai comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dirt kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Chai has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
