Yet again, we have another first timer in the ring. Ameer Mohammed called himself a “virgin” at ring fighting. His opponent, Mike Easton, had experience fighting in the DC area. Mohammed started off the match with a fury of fists, looking like he knew he had something to prove. He did all right during most of the match, until Easton finally connected a knee blow.

The record isn’t good for first timers. It’s not a mistake that the winners in the ring have been in many matches.

Jaral Bowman made a return appearance after being overlooked for Team Luda, even though he sent his opponent home on a stretcher. Bowman said he’s never been beaten up, just outclassed during the times he lost.

This ended up being one of those times. Andy Roberts locked up Bowman on the ground and prevented him from doing pretty much anything. Roberts won the match, leaving Bowman disappointed. Bowman said that he went into the match seeking a knock out. He admits he made a mistake that he couldn’t correct because you get just one round. He said if there were multiple rounds, he would have won. I want to believe him …but I’m not too sure about this one!

Bowman dominated his first “Iron Ring” match, but came up short in the second one. Although he lost, he surely wasn’t beaten up. Andy Roberts, on the other hand, proved that he is a thinking fighter.

What do you think?
