It was a very action packed fight, with hard strikes and great reversals from both fighters. Jay had to fight his toughest fight in his career last night. Brian Came for the gold, and was very determined to leave with it. Brian beat Jay by an way of an arm bar. Brian had Jays arm around Jays neck as if he was going to try to choke him out, and out of no where brian got an double leg arm bar on Jays other arm and it was enough to make him tap. Brian is by far one of the most aggressive fighters, that has competed for RING OF HONOR. A THANKS GOES OUT TO BRAIN AS OUR NEW HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION.
11.)MAIN EVENT Darrell(BULL DOG) SMITH does it again. This is the 2nd time Chris Myers has fought Darrell Smith and both times they go the distance.They bout went 2-rounds plus and over time. Both fighters have great endurance, stamina & Skill.Both fighters could have went another 2-rounds and still had enough strength and endurance to fight again. Both fighters threw heavy strikes and kicks and both fighters are like machines.-Darrell Smith broke his foot kicking Chris in the 2nd round and still continued on. He did not tell his corner or anyone else what had happened until after the bout was over. Chris had a big gash above his eye and still continued to fight. These 2-fighters have such a high pain tolerance that almost nothing will make them tap or submit.They both have allot of PRIDE,DIGNITY, and HONOR, We congratulate both of them for this. Darrell won the bout by Judges decision at the end of the over time.
