Match 1: Marco Talus vs. Connor Flynn
Marco Talus 6’2” 193 24yo
Connor Flynn 6’1” 181 22yo
Marco (green speedos) is from Brazil and trained in Ju-Jitsu there. He watched a couple of Connor’s (blue speedos) matches and asked NHB for a match against Connor. Marco is well built, cut and in great shape, but he is actually much stronger than he looks. His arms and chest are just raw muscle. Connor too is real tough, very strong – so this promised to be an awesome match.
They lock up on their feet and stay that way for a long time. Both flexing and jockeying for position, trying to get the other guy down. They both measure each other and get a feel for how strong the other guy is. They stay on their feet for a long time before Connor goes to his back and wraps his legs around Marco. Connor believes that he can beat any opponent with his super powerful legs. Marco escapes and stays on top. Connor finds himself in trouble, struggling against the power of Marco’s upper body. Marco eventually gets behind Connor and immediately clamps on a rear-naked choke. Connor is forced to tap out.
Again they lock up and again it’s just raw power against power. Connor manages to get the upper hand and Marco manages to reverse. It’s a real brawl. When Connor does get a really good scissors, Marco moans, pushes, struggles and everything else, but eventually powers out of Connor’s legs. Connor goes right for the figure-four around Marco’s head. Again, more grunting and groaning, but Marco escapes. Awesome wrestling !
After three submissions and a definite winner, the loser wanted a re-match – the very next day. That didn’t happen, but these guys are definitely not finished with each other.
Match 2: Max Anderson vs. Ron Wilson
Max Anderson 5’11” 204 25yo
Ron Wilson 5’9” 176 24yo
Ron (blue speedos) flew in from CA for a match against Max (white speedos). Ron figured that since he handled both Dillon Walsh and Barrett Storm so easily, that he would be able to handle Max as well. Max didn’t quite agree.
Ron lost about 15 lbs. and came NYC more ripped and a lot faster. He’s been working out hard with his fraternity and was more than ready for the match against Max. Max put on about 10 lbs. of muscle and he felt more strong than he has ever felt in his life. Both these guys are great submission wrestlers and this promised to be a really good match.
Ron took down Max right away and got behind him, but that was as far as Max would let him go. Ron got a body scissors and Max tried the cross ankle lock but missed. Ron clamped on the cross face and had Max squirming to get free. He did ! Max used his legs on Ron’s head and Ron returned the favor. Some really great wrestling moves from both wrestlers and excellent counters as well. Max finally used his power and began controlling the California strong man. The match went back and forth for 25 minutes but there is a definite winner – 3 submissions. It was decisive.
