Match 1: Blake Matson vs. Donnie "Brax" Braxton

Blake Matson 6’6” 210 25yo
Donnie “Brax” Braxton 5’11” 173 24yo

Brax (yellow speedos) asked for this match against Blake (blue speedos). Blake, at 6’6” and 210 lbs, promised to be a real challenge for Brax. Brax is a real tough wrestler. He’s calculating, professional, and very focused. He loves the sport and loves a challenge. He’s much, much stronger than he looks, and he looks damn strong.

Blake is on the professional wrestling circuit. He’s strong, and likes to finish quickly. He’s not much for a continued match wrestler. So Brax figured he’d take advantage of that. At first, Brax is on the bottom and Blake is working him over with his upper body. Finally Brax reverses and begins an assault on Blake. Blake escapes to his feet a couple times, but Brax just brings him back to the mat. At one point, a double body scissors spells the end for Brax, we think – we were wrong. He wrestles out, lets Blake out of the scissors and goes for an arm bar.

Each time Blake takes Brax to the mat, Brax reverses. Brax is stretched by the 6’6” lanky Blake, stretched like he’s never been stretched before. But Brax is consummate and controlled. He’s a seasoned wrestler and he’s not about to tap out.
Both these wrestlers look great and know their stuff. This is a typical NHB BATTLE match – we love it like this!

Match 2: Connor Flynn vs. Ron Wilson

Connor Flynn 6’1” 168 22yo
Ron Wilson 5’9” 165 24yo

Ron (purple speedos) challenged Connor (orange speedos). Ron wanted to try the tough guy. He figured that since he handled Dillon Walsh, Connor should be no problem. Ron was mistaken. Connor is very, very intense. He simply will not give up unless he is completely convinced there is no other option. Connor is way strong , especially his legs, and he knows how to use them.

Ron is quick. He gets behind Connor right away and brings him to the mat. Ron works the upper body and maintains control. Eventually, Connor reverses, Ron reverses, Connor reverses again. Great – even matchup. Ron is very powerful and his great balance. He’s wrestling champ of his fraternity – LOL. Connor is a real competitor and it comes down here to who wants to win the match the most. Connor tries a triangle choke – misses – tries again. Ron goes for the head scissors (how he beat Dillon) misses and tries again . Very ever match.

These great, cut wrestlers give it their all and it shows. Ron dropped almost 20 pounds since his last match for NHB BATTLE. He’s much more cut – and strong. It took a long time and some really great wrestling, but there is definitely one winner and the loser wants to “bring it on” again. The battle may be over for now, but the war still needs to be decided.

We’re not sure Max will wrestle Chris again – but we’ll sure try to set it up.
