complexity of a high level match
here we are at 141 same shit as 33
yet no stalling
Taking Vito down with his quickness and length is easier said than done. But yes you need a takedown.
I’d love to club the bastard in the head with a baseball bat then take the bat to his dad too. Actually I think I’d knock the piss out of dad 1st
It’s not just Vito. How many legitimate shots did Fix take in his last three matches? Hard to win championships with little to no offense.
I can't stand his dad either. But parents are hardly something you can blame kids for.
wtf does the last 3 matches have to do with tonight?
daton got his hand raised
then 41 puts it right in everyone’s face
mendez wrestles “strategic” lolz
I just watched Mendez come up with the big move to win the National Championship and we don't do that anymore. Vito not only seemed way quicker than Daton but seemed stronger also. Daton went for a high crotch, got stopped and then knocked back for the takedown. Daton never has made the big move at nationals. I feel sad for Daton but too many matches he doesn't wrestle. I hope Dustin makes the move but I don't have confidence because it has been so long since anything has gone real good for us.
We need to recruit wtestlets with more length. Dayton was great sgainst normal sized 133s but he has always struggled against longer wrestlers with good technique.
Gomez - 7th year, 3rd school. Not a damn negative said about it. Fix - 7th year, 1 school. He's a man wrestling 18-22 year olds "how dare he."
Everytime they are long we talk about how weak they are.
We need guys who attack and attack some more.
Because, like it or not, refs are going to judge a guy based on based performance. Mendez goes and goes and goes. Daton doesn't. So refs are gonna see stalling more in Daton's matches than in Mendez's matches. Does that make it right? No. But it's gonna happen.
Williams lost the eventual national champion and was quite competitive…he’s not far off
well williams lost to the champ
that loss takes on new perspective
that loss takes on new perspective
yea and i can list title match after title match that came down to a 3rd period takedown without the ref getting involved
let alone a ref who had 3calls overturned
Well the last two he took 5-6 combined but didn’t finish. How many did Frost and Ragusan take?
it’s the national finals
ref did a great job staying the eff out of the match
unlike vito haines held center
no way he gets dinged for a stall
vito may have beaten daton the exact same way
That’s exactly how I saw that fox match going. He peaked 3 years ago and I don’t believe he will have any future success at the international level. He has completely shut down in every finals. Not 1 takedown in 4 finals. It was his last match, you go out and initiate some damn offense and either win or go down knowing you gave it everything. I did not see that tonight and I wasn’t expecting anything else. He had a terrific career and has been a great cowboy but I’m happy to see him go. Not a good look for Smith
Daton wrestled his heart out. I feel bad for him. I always thought he could have won multiple titles at 125 if he wanted. Too short for the likes of Vito and RBY at 133.
as much as #3 ref wanted carr to lose for sure
didn’t know riding time locked
justice served
The ref absolutely didn’t want Fix to win and they didn’t want Carr to win. Fortunately for Carr, he was able to pull it out.
called carr for stalling as he counters into a takedown
better officiating at the cushing youth tourney
The correct answer is 0 but yes Vito is the better wrestler. Congrats on a great career Daton.
Daton could have majored his way to a NC at 125 this year
I haven't heard anyone say it that Vito is weak. I agree about attacking and Dayton has lost because of it. The ISU wrestler is not tall but has long arms. He gave Dayton fits in Tulsa and KC.
Really think the refs are having way too much impact on these finals. Definitely changes the 174 final as well as a few others.
Maybe this year but multiple titles? Spencer would have beaten him handily
