Match 1: Jay Phoenix vs. Jared Stone

Jay Phoenix 5’11” 222 21yo
Jared Stone 5’7” 196 25yo

Jared (green speedos) challenged the still undefeated (overall) Jay (blue speedos) . Giving away 25 pounds didn’t bother Jay at all. He was confident that he could handle the big guy. Right away Jared goes for the take down and misses his shot. Jay takes advantage and is all over Jared putting him in all kinds of moves and holds. Jared hangs on for a long time. Each time he tries one of his favorite moves, Jay counters and reverses. Jay gets a really nice head scissors on Jared that has Jared squirming to get free. Jared tried an arm behind the back, but Jay just powers out.

Jared gets a really good head lock on Jay and holds the big guy down for a long time. We thought maybe Jay would have to submit in order to get out – no way. Jay escapes and reverses in a big way. Jared climbs back and gets a full nelson, but not for long. Jay is just too strong.

This is all Jay Phoenix. He totally shows the big, blond Jared what it means to be a submission wrestler. Jared is one really smart dude. He is learning a lot from wrestling these big guys.

Match 2: Brock Hammer vs. Reggie Banks

Brock Hammer 6’2” 190 19yo
Reggie Banks 5’9” 213 18yo

Brock (red/white/blue speedos) watched Reggie wrestle Dillon Walsh and told NHB “I want to take on that black guy”. Reggie put on more muscle and has been working on submission moves and holds. He hates losing and he’s determined to beat all the guys that have beat him at NHB. He figured that Brock would be a good practice match. Well, he’s got another NHB BATTLE wrestler that he’s got to rematch to beat ! LOL.

Reggie is real tuff and real strong. He just needs to work on his finishing moves. There’s lots of back and forth talking in this match, much more than we usually have at NHB. Brock loves to taunt his opponents and Reggie just loves to talk. The wrestling is outstanding, but very one sided. Brock is an awesome opponent. He just manages to beat each and every opponent we put him up against. This time he uses his really powerful legs for control. At 6’2” and 190 pounds he’s a force to deal with. His legs are incredibly strong. Reggie is able to power out of many of Brock’s holds, but he gets caught again and again. Brock is fast and powerful. He says he wants Max Anderson in a big way.

Lots of leg holds, front face locks, arm control and neck locks. It’s some really great wrestling.
