Evan Turner vs Shawn Duncan, The Rematch (Movimus)

This Movimus rematch has been stewing for almost three months. Shawn and Evan first tangled in June, and the upshot was impressively raw and spirited. The sequel is inferior to the original only in running time (15 minutes, including 3 or 4 minutes of warmups), but it feels even hotter and harsher. Condensation of the three-fall contest no doubt contributes to the fight's intensity, and, yes, three falls means the guys go at it neck and neck. The coolly methodical Turner (in green, 5'7", 138#) has his hands full with colorful wild-man Duncan (in blue, 5'5", 145#), and his deadpan scientific technique opposes Shawn's unflinching and sometimes reckless reliance on instinct, keeping the action fairly steady. The tiebreaker looms up swiftly and unexpectedly with one man latching onto the other man's back and applying a 20-second chinlock that forces the third submission. I doubt Evan and Shawn are done with each other yet.
