Max Anderson 5'11" 195 22yo
Alex Reid 6' 193 18yo
THE REMATCH ! He's back - bigger, more ripped, more trained. Alex (black speedos) practiced, had a couple other NHB matches, put on a few pounds, and worked out regularly with college buds, just to get back to NYC and "beat" Max (red speedos). He immediately takes control of Max, brings him to the mat and starts working him over. He shows a lot more skill and balance, control and determination. He wants this win and he wants it badly.
Max, being as cocky as he has become, approaches this match with complete and total confidence. "I beat him once and I'll do it again" Cocky Brat, isn't he ? But Max is good, really good, and, unfortunately, he knows it. He is tough, strong and a very good wrestler, getting better with each match. Alex totally takes it to Max. Max again wrestles out of everything and brings the tough teen to the mat and pounds on him. Alex works hard and confidently to escape but Max won't hear of it. Max gives Alex a pretty good beating before getting him to tap.
The rematch is long and constant. Both wrestlers are exhausted, but that is when Max Anderson is at his best. This is great - Max is great. He wrestles his heart out and beats Alex again. Get back to the gym Alex. You've got to give Max another shot.
Paul Ritacco 5'10" 165 19yo

Alex (Black Speedos) came to NHB Chicago with a challenge for Paul (Blue Speedos). Alex just finished his HS senior wrestling season and wanted a shot at Paul. Paul has been practicing a lot, every week, working out and learning many more moves and holds. These guys are well suited for a good match - and it sure was.
Alex overpowers Paul with his strong biceps and chest early on in the match. Paul is definitely intimidated but not about to give into a younger High School Wrestler. Alex stays on top and keeps control, but Paul uses many great holds from his back. Soon he reverses Alex and has the "kid" struggling to get control. Alex has great arm strength and uses a nasty headlock on Paul.
Paul has those really strong legs and knows how to use them. He manages to keep reversing Alex with just his legs. Alex gets frustrated and the wrestling becomes more intense. This match is two out of three falls. We were never sure how it would turn out until the very last tap out.
They came back to the NHB BATTLE studio in Chicago the very next day and did a rematch - incredibly awesome rematch. Watch for it soon on NHB BATTLE WRESTLING !
