I have never seen much of Duncum, but this was a really nice match, of course also thanks to the super reliable Robinson. While the beginning of the bout was solid and created a nice tension, things escalated quickly when Duncum started to work on Robinson's arm, after the most believable double collision spot I have seen in a ring (I usually hate those as they look phony). Duncum was amazing when he was on control and his knees were especially brutal. Crowd supported Robinson's final come back and struggle, the over the top rope DQ finish it's what it is, but the heat was slowly fading anyway after a bad executed sequence to get Duncun stuck in the ropes. Still, a very nice surprise
