I love how Sabre has to work really hard to even get to any holds here; like when he finally gets a sweep and then a heel hook, it really feels like a turning point. Some of Lee's strikes look especially monstrous, and him curling Sabre up from his armbar is an amazing strength spot. I love both Sabre and Lee, but Sabre's insistence on having bigger people beat the hell out of him and Lee's reliance on overconfidence as his Achilles Heel, respectively, sometimes take me out of their matches a little. Both of those ideas are used perfectly here, though.

 

This is my favorite of their matches, and my favorite match of this tournament.

Keith and Zack have a pretty underrated chemistry to be honest. While I wouldn't say it's on the level of WALTER vs Zack matches, Keith and Zack can still have pretty fun matches in any promotion. I like the psychology of Zack needing to work extra hard to get those locks and submissions on Big Keith, who dismisses Zack most of the time. I think Keith should've given Zack a cleaner pin for his last Progress match (for the mean time), but the roll up upset was cool too, ****.
