Left: Matthew Burns
Right: Shawn McLeroy
They are receiving some instruction from me just before locking arms to start the 1st fall.
 Shawn was the champion of this Weight Division at this festival on Saturday Last Year.
Matthew was the champion of this Weight Division at this festival on Sunday Last Year.
Matthew had his arm pulled out of its socket 3 weeks prior to this match this year,
so Matthew was trying to be careful & Shawn was trying not to be too rough.
Movie of Shawn's victory over Matthew Takes 5 minutes to load.
