Davey Richards vs. Low Ki

[9.0] "Another stellar performance from Richards and Low-Ki. This match was way more mat wrestling than Claudio/Quackenbush and was great."

[7.0] "I specifically looked up Low-Ki-vs-Davey-Richards matches because I knew two guys *that* serious about pro-wrestling would surely produce an exciting match, and that's exactly what they did. The first few minutes featured a grappling-based opening phase, but it wasn't at all the sort of boring/underwhelming hold trades that you'd often see open a big match, since both guys put great effort into making sure every little detail of their exchanges was precise, all while maintaining strong 'snap' in all their transitions and movements, resulting in all their exchanges looking absolutely realistic. Both guys wanted to submit the other here; they weren't just mindlessly trading holds for the sake of taking up time. Once their hold exchanges were over with, they then brought out all their fantastically stiff strikes, and the fact that these strikes basically didn't feature at all in the first 5 minutes made them feel much more special once they finally came out. The rest of the second half featured some creative counters while both guys continued to waste each other with their impactful kicks and various other strikes, all while continuing to show great passion, desperation, and exhaustion. ***3/4"

[6.0] "I didn't really get into this match until well over the 10 minute mark. The beginning was ok but nothing spectacular and by the time I was starting to get engrossed the match was over."
