*Grudge Match*
Matthew Riddle vs. Chuck O’Neil
After some disparaging remarks from Matthew Riddle towards his then-partners Chuck O’Neil and Eric Spicely at TFT4, Riddle enlisted the help of Drew Gulak last month to take on Spicely and O’Neil, and during that clash, the bad blood between Riddle and O’Neil only intensified. Riddle’s made no effort to endear himself to the Beyond audience, and most will be hoping to see “Cold Steel” quiet Riddle later this month.
A student of Biff Busick, O’Neil’s shown more each month, but Riddle’s already been testing himself against the likes of Jonathan Gresham, Drew Gulak and Chris Dickinson, and has found a way to come out on top every time. That slight experience edge should give Riddle a victory this month in Somerville.
My Pick: Matthew Riddle
