Chris Perry is in the quarters.Coleman Scott just won his quarter final match against Hochstrasser with 10-0tech fall and will face Daniel Dennis in the semis. Sam Hazewinkel just defeated Ali Nasr on the other side of the bracket at 57 kg and will face the winner of Tomasello and Joe Colon. Cayle Byers won his match to advance to the quarters. ObeBlanc and Josh Kindig lost their opening matches. Clayton Foster advanced to the quarters at 97kg.
The #1 wrestlers are not entered in this tournament to determine the ladder placements. Jon Morrison lost to Daniel Dennis and just won his consolation bout against K. Andrews 8-0. Oliver,Metcalf,Dlagnev,Burroughs etc are not in this tournament.
Tech fall for perry and Valencia immediately starts throwing fists and runs after him for a fight that was something to see.... I believe he just got eliminated from the tournament
It was a wild swing by Valencia and no blow landed. He was tossed out of the tournament. This was pretty much all of the action by Valencia as Perry had a answer for Valencia's double leg. Could not see any action by Perry that caused the fracas-not saying Chris did not say something to him and I guess we will never know. Perry is the #3 seed at this weight.
It looked like perry just answered back after the initial swing and rightfully so Valencia is starting to look very 1 dimensional guys that have wrestled him before or just know what's coming are able to stop that double without a problem
David Taylor just tech falled Ruth 13-0 or possibly 14-0 after Ruth lost the replay on the last move. Taylor didget a questionable call on what appeared to be a Ruth takedown which was given to Taylor.
Byers and Foster both lose. Jon Morrison dec.Ben Kjar in consos. Perry wrestlesKevin Levalley in the semis and on the other side Andrew Howe wrestles Adam Hall. Could be a Howe/

How did Dennis get his point? I was watching the match and didn't see anything? Was it from that ridiculously stupid shot clock deal?
That is just a terrible rule. International wrestling has just not helped itself in trying to gain popularity. I will admit getting rid of the magic ball in bag was a great improvement but dropping weights, shot clock rule and all of these reviews just kill it for the average and casual fan.
I mean it literally seems like every match is decided by going to review a handful of times and very little wrestling gets done. Then to add the shot clock rule to essentially give one guy a win is just pathetic.
Yeah....I agree to a point. They're trying to promote action and make em wrestle. They just haven't found an objective, consistent way to do it. We've seen the same thing with the stalling calls in D1 this year. Individual refs making individual calls is inherently inconsistent. It drives me crazy, but, in all fairness, I probably wouldn't be complaining if the call would've gone Coleman's way.
The shot clock is just bad no matter who it benefits.
They need to do something on the challenge replay deal as well. Need to limit the replays and their impact. I get they want to make sure the call is right but way to much stopping of action and time taken up doing it.

Andrew Howe dec. Chris Perry with a 2nd period takedown 3-2. Very close match with a lot of good action.
Chris looked like he was overpowered there at the end. Howe's td was pretty weak, but his defense was as solid as it gets from there on out. Odds are they'll both be wrestling for the privilege of fighting of the best blast double ever in a few months.
Unrelated.....paying for flopro is the best money I've spent in awhile. Family is out of town this week and I've been able to literally sit on the couch and watch wrestling for like 8 hours. That may not be something to brag about, but I don't care.

Well it's good advertising for Flo if nothing else. I'm a happy customer too.
But I'm waiting for the Wyoming match to be archived. Lost my connection last night for a bit and missed the AD Match. Either that or blinked. Anybody seen it. They usually have those posted in a couple of hours. Brock's TF and Rogers pin are good highlights also.

I actually like the shot clock. If you are not being active they force you to. It's better than 2 stall and a point. This way you get hit twice and instead of giving the point immediately they give you the opportunity to do something about it.
I also want to watch Heil again, I am not sure what that stall at the end of second was.
Don't get me wrong.....the shot clock is heck of a lot better than the ball grab. It's just applied inconsistently. Too often neither guy is doing much and it seems like the ref randomly selects one guy to put on the clock just to promote action....and all too often the guy who benefits from that call is the one who wrestles like Iowa....press forward relentlessly, but don't shoot.
They were talking about it last night in the Bradley/Fortune match....something along the lines of guys will try to get put on the clock first knowing the ref will put the other guy on later and they'll be ahead on criteria. Maybe that was just for heavies.

Agree with you NECowboy MUCH better than the ball grab but it is still up to the refs discretion his decision on who is stalling especially in the high level close matches can determine the match and take that out of the hands of the wrestlers to some extent.
I have just seen it called way to inconsistently especially in those close matches.
