to stall for time to stretch the bout
out TO regulation length. Sauers
took the first fall in nine minutes
with an arm stretch. Anderson
grabbed the second with a series az
bar arms which. TO all intents and
purposes, had Sauer's left wing IN
a bad way. Sauers grabbed the
third In easy style after a bit Of
