A pretty darn good match with Fritz over powered by Yukon. Of course, cheating isn't beneath the "German" so, its a pretty even and heated contest. Yukon gets color which the announcer kinda pinpoints inadvertently by remarking 'Yukon's looking under the ring for something.' I suppose that would explain what he was doing BUT its B&W and far away so, we really can't tell he's under there to begin with! :D

Nothing in this clip would indicate that the match actually took place in Akron which was a little disappointing. There's not much old footage of wrestling from northeast Ohio so, I was hoping the announcer would say what the venue was or mention something relevant. The YT poster gives no reference why this is wrestling from Akron, OH either. Another youtuber has the same match with lesser quality. Research shows they have pretty good knowledge of older wrestling via a link to their blog. They do put this as most likely Pedro Martinez ' Buffalo territory which included Akron as well as Cleveland where they did TV tapings per an interview with Martinez' son.

 No confirmation but, very likely Northeast Ohio :)
