Kristin Astara vs Sara Del Rey

You can’t be blamed for expecting the sort of brutal one-sided beatdown that Kristin so often faces from her larger opponents. Well, in this case, you’d be wrong, as Kristin more than earns her keep in this 2 out of 3 Falls contest. She doesn’t start off too strongly, taken down to the mat and punished with a Full Nelson and various arm-wringing moves by Sara. After a protracted bout of arm punishment by the bigger athlete, Sara wins the first fall with two variations on her Royal Butterfly finisher. Kristin fights back hard in the second fall with a barrage of leg punishment–kicks and elbows to Sara’s knee, a Boston Crab, a Figure Four Leglock–followed by a DDT that puts Sara out for the three count. The third fall could go to anyone–there’s wrangling in the corners, a thundering Sidewalk Slam and one final high-impact finisher that gains a hard fought victory for one athlete.
