On Saturday night (Feb. 20) at GCW’s Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 5, Jon Moxley knocked Davey Boy Smith Jr. out with a flurry of strikes and a Paradigm Shift. The hard-hitting main event drew a ton of praise online, and ran Mox’s record in the worked MMA, no-ropes, victory by knockout or submission only promotion to 2 - 0.
