Game 4: (1) Blunt Force Trauma vs (7) I’m Not Bleeding You’re Bleeding

1. MCGRATTAN, BRIAN  (11-12) vs CROWDER, TROY  (90-91) – McGrattan

whenprobertwasking.com take: Behind the play in Predators zone, Crowder and McGrattan lay out the challenges and drop the gloves. McGrattan comes in bent over with his hands on his lap while Crowder stands tall in a boxer’s stance. Once they come together, the exchange is explosive. McGrattan immediately begins pumping overhand rights while Crowder is bringing some serious thunder. Big Ern lands well but Crowder answers with a good head snapping right hand that almost stops him in his tracks. McGrattan handles it well and keeps up the pressure now adding in his typical jab to the mix to keep Crowder off balance. Crowder is still coming but begins to slow down until he latches on briefly to adjust his grip. During the resulting wrestling portion of the fight, Crowder rears back and plows through McGrattan with another big right. This one wasn’t as flush as the first but it knocked off McGrattan’s lid. This seems to fire McGrattan up as he redoubles his efforts. He becomes blur of jabs and overhand right hands, as he attempts to overwhelm Crowder with pure volume. After a time, they wind up against the Nashville boards with Crowder trying to force McGrattan into his own player bench. With that the linesmen step in. Edge McGrattan.

Blunt Force Trauma lead the series 3-1
