This is slightly clipped, 11 minutes out of 15 are shown. It's a really nice bout, solid and very tight on the mat. All the focus was around arms in the early part of the match, they both worked on each other's arms and Brunzell actually managed to go toe to toe against a master like Bock. However, Bock soon took over and of course most of the match was him taming poor Brunzell with hammerlocks and wristlocks; Brunzell's selling skills are seriously underrated, his name never really comes up. The fans loved his reaction too, he capitalized on a Bock's mistake and started beating him down furiously over his legs. A great dropkick ends the match and Brunzell gets a rare victory on the current champion
***1/2
