Match 1
Bobby Baker Vs. Sandro Vinnari
Bobby Baker 6' 168 20yo
Sandro Vinnari 5'11" 173 22yo
Sandro (black speedos) come to NHB with a load of submission wrestling experience. Since Bobby (green speedos) has been working out a lot and practicing weekly, we thought this was be a good match up. These two wrestlers got at it for thirty (30) minutes with only one submission at the very end. The exchange of holds is endless. Sandro uses his skill to control Bobby, but watch out for Bobby's legs. More than one time Sandro finds himself in a tight head scissors struggling with everything he has to escape. Bobby is really tough and getting much, much better at submission wrestling. All his practicing sure shows in this match.
Sandro is a "skill master". He's been wrestling submission matches since he was a sophomore in High School and he is just as strong as he looks. Take a look at his awesome legs - one powerful scissors there. More than one time, Bobby finds himself wrapped up on the verge of taping out but he hangs in there. Both these wrestlers are not about to quit until it is over - that is just what we like to see at NHB BATTLE. You won't be disappointed with this match and these wrestlers. Look for a lot more of both of them on NHB BATTLE.
Match 2
Denny Webb Vs. Erik Brown
Denny Webb 5'9" 172 19yo
Erik Brown 5'9" 171 20yo
Denny (red speedos ), with about 10 extra pounds of muscle, wanted to challenge Erik (blue speedos ) since he beat Max Anderson. Denny is totally intense. He wrestles like his whole life depends on the outcome of this match. He hates to lose - and it shows! But Erik is one strong boy! His legs and hips are so strong that the toughest guys (some 25 lbs. heavier than him) have trouble breaking his holds. Denny tries tossing and throwing Erik around the mat, but it has no effect on Erik. The exchange of holds is awesome. Denny's headlock has Erik in trouble, but with the confidence that he will be able to break the hold and escape - he does.
There is only one tap out in this one - it comes in the middle of the match. We're going to let you see who gets it. The next 15 minutes of wrestling is the loser trying everything in his arsenal to get his opponent to submit. He just can't get that one tap out. These young wrestlers are in great shape and they could have gone on for at least another hour - probably without a submission. Someday we are just going to let these well-built, young, bodybuilder-type wrestlers go at it until there is a definite winner.
Match 3
Tyrone Howard Vs. Clevon Pitts
Tyrone Howard 6'3" 177 19yo.
Clevon Pitts 5'10" 161 18yo
These two tough South Africa teens are workout fanatics without much wrestling experience. When they heard about NHB in South Africa, they can together and asked for a match against each other. Tyrone (blue speedos) has a great height advantage and really powerful legs. Clevon (green speedos) is a powerhouse. This is a one of a kind NHB BATTLE Submission Match. There are so many tap outs we couldn't count them. It's almost a one hold tap out - who ever gets the first take-down hold, would ultimately get the tap out. These brawlers are game, challenged and provoked, and they won't stop. When one guy taps out, they get right back up on their feet and start the match all over again.
When one of the wrestlers starts to show some fatigue, the other totally takes advantage of that. The verbal barrage of insults and bad mouthing keeps your interest peaked. Not really great wrestling, but two great kids who really want to beat each other. You'll watch these guys over and over again.
