Amber Nova vs April Hunter

Pound for Pound Amber is probably as strong as any women on the roster, but it’s usually the lack of pounds that has her in trouble against the likes of April. But an impromptu pose off leaves April very impressed with her “mini me” even if she can’t quite master one of Hunter’s signature flexes.

Up against the wall the vanquished uses a Neckbreaker to force the decisive 7th fall. Having come this far neither grappler wants to lose and it’s ap
