didn't see Fix's match but the guy he lost to beat world bronze Yatsenko in the quarters. Then lost in the semis. Sammy Brooks got pinned by ISRAEL in under a minute! If Ali Karimi had won his first round match he'd have to forfeit his second match because the Iranians refuse to wrestle the Israelis.
Richie Lewis and Joey McKenna win their first matches by TF IMar loses to Russia 6-5 Walz gets a bye McKenna loses his second match by TF to Russia
Finally a good day for USA. Richie Lewis is wrestling for world gold. Mckenna, IMar, and Walz are wrestling for bronze.
He's been saying he's that guy for a while now. We just haven't seen it because he's been injured. Maybe he really is that dude?
Sunday could be pretty special in Allentown. #1 PSU - 8 ranked, 6 ranked top 5 #5 Lehigh - 6 ranked, 4 ranked top 5 #rankingsperintermat
CKLV today and tomorrow. Probably the best college tournament of the year. Wrestling starts in an hour live on FLO
Only Micah Jordan could be up 14-3 after one period, hit three separate cradles, and still be down on riding time.
Yeah saw a match this morning where he was up big late but his opponent had like 4 min of riding time. Impressive.
Looks to have added some moves at least. Like Campbell a lot so far from what I've seen, Moore looking like ass so far today. Campbell/Hayes better than I expected so far this year Pletcher/Bo worse Myles looking real strong too
I think it's a conditioning issue that he didn't realize he had until late in his first match. He was way, way bigger this year than last. I think he was in the 215-217 range right before the season as opposed to 203-205 last year
Respect Hall but don't know how he beats Zahid, Zahid is just better to me and should never lose to him or anyone in that weight.
Just saw Ke-Shawn's QF against Heilmann. He was up 6-0 with 2:30 of RT after 1 and managed to lose 10-8. Problems on bottom seems to be a recurring issue for OSU wrestlers, so odd.
Are you familiar with Mark Hall's work? He's a 3x World Champion and an NCAA champ going into his true sophomore year.
He has won all four of matches by Fall, including wins over ranked opponents in #8 Ellingwood and #7 Foster Has bonused all of his matches so far this year.
Maybe, but Mark Hall is damn good and he knows how to frustrate and slow down Zahids pace. If you can frustrate him early, you can beat Zahid if you are Mark Hall good
Sean Russell with 8 points late to avoid the upset. Was down a bunch late. A Taylor Lamont-Jacob Schwarm final would have been funny though.
Yianni D vs B Meredith is maybe my most anticipated match of the entire tournament. This is gonna be fun.
Huge win Saw a Micic takedown and 2 Pletcher escapes in the first but missed the other points, was there a Pletcher takedown and Micic reversal I missed? No idea how it got to 4-4.
Very controversial 2 for Pletcher in a scramble. Micic immediately reversed, could have been no TD then 2 for Micic.
How about Troy Heilmann? Kid is unbelievable. Early season wins over Zovistoski, Geo Martinez, Ke-Shawn Hayes, and Max Thomsen. Easy pick for #3 in the country as long as beats Oliver tonight.
Little worried about the state of conditioning for the non-Zahid members of the team. A lot of of guys looking like they have nothing left
Was kind of the opposite of the first match with Shields-Micah. Shields wanted out of that match badly.
