Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Timothy Thatcher - EVOLVE 34: Galloway vs. Swann - 13/09/2014


Some matches make you feel the length of the match but it's done so deliberately and cerebrally that it enhances the viewing experiences, opposed to the norm. This was two incredible wrestlers having the same game plan with a slight differing approach to one another. Thatcher is aggressive but ZSJ is a bastard who'll stamp on his opponents face and joints to gain the advantage. And Thatcher gets the brunt of that because he pushes Zack into that tactic. The counter wrestling was truly splendid, too. Each counter felt natural in the way they did it, without taking away from the holds credibility. The finish was gross - Zack pulled Thatcher's arms and legs while kicking him in the head, forcing the tap. ****1/4
