Match 1: Jared Stone vs. Chuck Rowen

Jared Stone 5’7” 190 25yo
Chuck Rowen 5’7” 149 23yo

Jared (flowered speedo) wanted this match – bad. He figured there was no way a 150 pounder could handle him. Chuck (orange speedos) is just incredible. You can’t get hold of this guy. He’s just too fast, too agile, and way too good to let himself get beat. Take a look at his legs. They are actually much strong than they look. Jared found out in the first match when he tapped in a head scissors.

Jared has some real skill and, at 190 pounds, can put some real hurt on his opponents. Chuck is just too quick and he won’t tap out. Jared gives it all he’s got, but Chuck once again walks off the mat the victor. Jared told NHB after the match that he just couldn’t believe “how strong this little guy is”. He found out the hard way. The NHB BATTLE wrestlers all want a shot at Chuck. His training in Ju-Jitsu and wrestling is awesome. He knows it all and he’s one really powerful little guy.

Check out Chuck’s speed in this match. Jared works hard and tries to control with his power, but Chuck just keeps escaping and reversing. It’s really great to watch Chuck work over these big guys.

Match 2: Chris Londis vs. Connor Flynn

Chris Londis 5’9” 148 22yo
Connor Flynn 6’1” 169 22yo

Connor (yellow stripped speedos) couldn’t believe that NHB wanted him to wrestle a guy under 150 lbs. We told Connor that Chris( black fight shorts) should not be taken lightly, but cocky Connor didn’t believe us. Chris is trained, tough and loves beatin the big guys. Connor told NHB before the match that there was no way a 148 pounder would be able to take his head scissors. Obviously, Connor never watched any of Chris’ matches.

The first 7 minutes is pretty even – both wrestlers working hard and a good exchange of holds. Chris uses his skill to keep Connor at bay, and Connor uses his power to break most of Chris holds. Chris gets a triangle choke on Connor, but Connor is able to stand up and escape.

More even exchanges and great wrestling till Chris gets Connor in a second triangle choke and this time he’s got it deep. Three times he tells Connor to tap, but Connor, cocky Connor Flynn, refuses and passes out on the mat. Connor wakes up and can’t believe what happened. He’s on another planet for at least 5 minutes.

The match continues and you see some really great moves from Chris, some great power escapes from Connor and when Connor uses those awesome legs, Chris struggles to break free. Arm bars, leg and ankle locks, head locks from all angles, control and brawling – it’s all here.
