Thank YOU for being a part of this college wrestling season. It's hard to believe another one is in to books. Drop your FAVORITE moment from this entire season in a comment below.
This is my 20th time watching this vid
The 3 consecutive wins by Nino, Parris, and Glory were all really nice to see. Three seniors who had been the NCAA finals and fallen short, return to claim their first titles at the end of an undefeated season in what is (likely) each guy's final NCAA match. Those are beautiful moments, and I enjoyed seeing the emotions from all three guys. But I do agree with you that Vito's win at 133 was the standout moment. He was scary good. Freakishly fast. I had never really viewed him as a guy who could win an Olympic gold medal in freestyle. But I need to reassess that now. To outscore Fix and RBY 21-7 in a 24 hour period is just insane. I'm a Michigan alum, but Vito was CLEARLY the Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. (Parris for Hodge, though!).
Just my $.02, but I think Vito was the clear Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.. but I would say the Hodge should go to Parris. Hodge isn't a lifetime achievement award, and Mason was the most Dominant THIS season.
Mason is only the champ because the actual champ went to the WWE
@saljablo2767 I'm so tired of hearing this. Gable was fantastic, but he is gone. Parris is now the best, which he proved all season long. I'll even say that since Parris was healthy this year, he would have given Gable a closer match.
@@Country_Veteran_ bahahahahahha yeah sure. Gable did HWT a favor by leaving a year of eligibility on the table.
Mason Paris didn't just do what he did b/c Gable S was gone. He did it primarily b/c he improved his game so much btw last season and this one. His skill set obviously has been broadened over last year.
Good wrestler but it would not have mattered if Gable was in it this year. GS probably the greatest Hwt. in college history.
To me HOW RBY was defeated surprised me more than how Lee was beaten. I could see Lee or RBY being beaten but I never ever dreamt anyone could make RBY look slow
RBY looked like a 25 seed out there. 😂
@@footballfanboy9680 You missed the 25 seed comment remark. I’ll spell it out for you,…..RBY looked like he didn’t belong at that tournament.
As for Fan boy of Iowa,….hell no! I was celebrating Spencer’s embarrassing loss.
@@letsgobrandon7112 I wouldn’t call Spencer Lee’s defeat a embarrassing loss. I would call a disappointing loss, but not embarrassing. What I think is embarrassing is the track record of the Iowa coaches and national champions.
I was surprised at how quick Vito was against RBY. I think RBY was too. Vito had some amazing moves. Gotta give him credit.
facts never thought i’d see someone faster and quicker than rby
@@vikramray3815 I think that is a good comment and you hit the nail on the head. It was a combination of his speed and length now after RBY losing to Desanto and seeing how he and the Penn State coaches had him adjust, and I think if our BY stays in that Penn State camp, the next match, if that occurs in freestyle, I will go with RBY
Big congrats to Austin O’Connor. Watching him wrestle win 5 ikwf finals, 4 ihsa finals, and now 2 ncaa finals is amazing. Definitely one of the best ever to come out of Illinois
I remember watching him beat Jason Renteria at the 2014 IHSA state tournament, and I had a feeling he was going to do great things. Matt Ramos also has the potential to be an Illinois great, in a sense, he already is.
A lot of people go to college for 7 years…
Yeah…they’re called doctors.
@@saljablo2767 And Spencer Lee…and RBY…and others caught by Covid restrictions. What’s your point?
Except sitting on both cheeks (roll the tape) used to be called a TD vs Sasso.
Aaron Brooks taking a swipe at Islam was a little surprising.
The Christ I know and follow teaches tolerance and loving my neighbor.
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who caught that. Very strange.
Fanco Wrestling, thank you for your consistently excellent content.
Vito was the moat impressive Wrestler I saw all weekend. He defeated a 2x finalist in Fix in the semis and a 2x NCAA champ after. Who can stake that claim?
He didn’t defeat them. He dominated both of them.
agree he was the most impressive
After last night I think Carter starocci should get the Hodge. Undefeated season, pin in the finals, and he also now holds the longest active win streak
I'm a PSU fan but I'm getting real tired of Staroccis arrogance
@@dramaking9377 in all honesty, he really seems more like a Hawkeye with the way he wrestles
@@dramaking9377🤓
@@jomama969 except he wins championships. He puts his singlet on the same as everyone else. The only difference is, when he gets his singlet on, he wins championships.
@@dramaking9377 I think he is a little over the top arrogant as well but I would be interested in hearing your examples of his arrogance that bothers you? He has already mentioned the MMA world, so I think his arrogance will work very well in that environment right or wrong in the MMA circuit, you have to be talented, tough, and be willing to market yourself the way WWE, markets, their entertainers.
I hope Wrestling doesn’t go the way of the UFC or MMA, because I see Wrestling at the college level and at high school and international level as a pure sport, however, the UFC and MMA is a sport with business and entertainment thrown in there. They have to be not only competitive but entertaining for me, folk style and freestyle wrestling is the competition that makes it entertaining to me. I don’t need trash, talks and build up and hype.
What’s also crazy is that Yianni will go down having the second best winning percentage in college wrestling history.
No, Dan Hodge was also undefeated. And Dan Gable only had the single loss
Oh ya..one more thing. Congrats and thanks to your channel. To have you to have an elite channel with such a knowledgeable person as yourself running it with your knowledge makes one love this channel!! A bigggg thank you!!
Thanks for all your work this season keeping us updated with everything going on in college wrestling. Excellent channel keep up the good work brother!
Josiah:
You might want to consider doing another video on the consolations! There were some interesting results and storylines there as well!
125: 28 Cardinale and 27 Ventresca in the 7th place match and 10 Brandon Courtney getting 3rd over Noto
133: Fix losing to McGee 2-1 in the 3rd place match and 13 Mendez getting 6th, losing to Nagao.
141: 6 Bartlett getting 3rd over 10 McNeil and 11 Carlson getting 5th. (Also 12 Filius getting Purdue a second AA.)
149: 12 Van Ness getting 3rd beating 3 Parco and 10 Blockhus getting 8th. (149 was pretty chalky.)
157: 3 Peyton Robb’s injury in the 5th place match and 5 Humphreys over 4 Franek for 3rd.
165: 11 Miles Amine making the 3rd place match, losing to 5 Quincy Monday… and 9 Shane Griffith falling to 5th.
174: 3 Mekhi Lewis losing in the 3rd place match to 4 Foca and 11 Nelson Brands getting 5th.
184: 6 Romero over 3 Hidlay in the 3rd place match and 14 Feldkamp getting 7th.
197: 2 Bernie Truax losing in the 3rd place match to Rocky Elam and 9 Max Dean slipping to 7th.
285: 5 Cohlton Schultz slipping to 7th… and Wyatt Hendrickson finishing off Cass with a pin!
Great idea!
Thanks for the recap
@@Spanky7 No problem! You ever need someone to help cover D3 wrestling, give me a shout. 👍🏽
Wow! lotta info there. Thanks and loved watching these matches.
Mason Parris deserves the Hodge! Yianni had a loss.
Let me start by saying that I am a HUUUUGE PSU fan...Staroccis arrogance & dismissiveness about an NCAA title was abrasive as hell. Calling out an MMA Champ before he even starts training MMA was cringe. He acts like an Olympic gold and MMA title are afterthoughts. This guy has a chance to be a 5 timer and he's getting increasingly hard to like
Thanks for your great coverage of the tournament this year. You did a great job keeping people informed for FREE keep up the good work
My two possibly unpopular opinions:
1) I'd consider Nino a good contender for hodge.
2) I don't think this tournament's version of Spencer Lee was going to beat Pat Glory. It stinks he didn't make the finals but I honestly dont see him having gotten his fourth NCAA championship.
I agree with your second opinion. If you watched the matches where Spencer got brought into the third period you noticed he faded tremendously. It was gonna take one guy to survive the early onslaught keep it tight and capitalize on Lee late.
1) IMO starocci was more dominant throughout the season, almost slept on. Nino could/should be a finalist though; he had a great year
2) doesn’t matter now 🤷🏾♂️Glory did look like a man on a mission just like Vito-he was the aggressor, relentless in all his match from all positions and while I want to agree we’ll never know
Without question, Vito was OW. Fix was undefeated (26-0) and a 3-time national runnerup. RBY was undefeated (20-0), the defending 2-time national champ on a 50+ win streak. Vito humbled both by a combined 21-7. No other champ beat such a pair of aces.
I think even more than Vito's speed was Vito's length. RBY couldn't use his speed because Vito constantly had hands on RBY.
Vito looked huge next to RBY and Fix.
Great summary of tournament, thank you for all the coverage of wrestling this season !
What we learned is, if you actually go after the top guys, good things happen, Daton never went after RBY and no one really wanted to go after Spencer all year until Ramos
Thank you for all you do my friend! God bless! 🙏🏼💪🏼💯🦍
Thank you so much for all your hard work and awesome content... listen 4 years ago I got back into wrestling and it all started with your content .. once again im hooked and loving it 🎉 for me this is the greatest sport in the world...
Wow. Just saw a post-match interview of Real Woods after the finals. I'm a Penn State fan all the way, but I love this guy's controlled, measured reaction to such heartbreak. I also love Beau B's engaging personality, so it will be tough to truly pull for Woods next year to win it all, but after hearing the young man speak so thoughtfully and gracefully after that match, I may just do it. Oh, and still scratching my head over Vito making RBY look turtle-slow. Loved Vito's post-match comments, as well. Worst thing now will be the one year wait for the next championship.
Beau B the laziest human ever
This was an amazing tournament
I thought woods was a senior...
@@dramaking9377 Post covid, everyone gets to be a senior for at least 3 years.
The OW absolutely was Vito Arujau followed by Starocchi and Parris. He totally dominated every opponent he wrestled including 2 undefeated wrestlers with 6 finals between them in the semis and final. Parris and Starocchi dominated, but the quality of their competition wasnt what Vito had to go through.
I agree with you, Allirez should have only gotten 2 there but it’s hard to argue when it’s that close.
Pound-for-pound, these are the toughest athletes on any campus, in a brutally physical sport (a skill-enhanced, 7-minute street fight) that literally leaves every winner breathless. I’m forever thrilled watching these powerful, disciplined young men, equally matched by weight, do battle. For me, a bonus comes in moments like Glory in full tears after his win, or Nino gushing with cracked-lip emotion, or Vito hugging his tiny, beaming dad throughout his interview, then kissing him on the head. The absolute best March championship is in wrestling. See you next year.
I knew Vito was going to take it to RBY the way he dominated Fix. I picked O' Toole as well but I was wrong about Sloan and didn't pick anyone in the Alirez - Woods matchup.
The best match was at 133lbs.
Big win for Vito maybe. Not a very competitive match though.
Nah the best match was 165lbs
Nah
Thanks for adding this wrestling content. Love the sport and appreciate any coverage as it helps grow wrestling , I hope
Great coverage all year but it’s bittersweet cause the season is over 😭
O'Connor really showed his dominance. Nobody handled Haynes like that. I got a lot of crap for telling everyone Vito was going to get the W this year. Running through both Fix and RBY was just sheer dominance!!! Alirez absolutely shut everyone up!!! What a great tourney! I can't say I've seen a better tournament in a long, long time!!!
Wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if Haynes, Van Ness and Kerkvliet win titles next year, though I gotta see what guys change weight classes and who maybe returns after redshirting. Obviously, Ridge Lovett will be an interesting guy since we all know he essentially redshirted to avoid Yianni though he said it was to "hone his craft".
Thanks for the awesome info all season long and especially your coverage of the National Tournament ! Keep up the great work!
Glory beating Ramos showed Spencer wrestling for 3rd was where he belonged this year. Deciding to 💩 on his fans, school, coaches, and his teammates by forfeiting and going home was classless. I guess him and his mom went home and smashed glasses together
Good to see parody. NCAA champs from conferences.
Big 10 3 champs
EIWA 3 champs
Big 12 2 champs
ACC 2 champs
Most all Americans still Big 10. With more runners ups (7)
Since my first post above I saw was Vito is OW.
What a tournament.
Vito is well deserving of OW. What’s great is all the valid arguments for other weight classes being the toughest like 165 and 197. If Carr had won he would be hands down the OW and Hodge for me. Especially with the pathway he had. Beating a runner up and champ to make it to the finals.
165 having 3 champs, and a two runners ups(Griffith counts twice).
197. Two finalist from last year did not make it back to the finals. The champ ( a former runner up) did not place last year.
174 Carter was so dominant that we forget how tough his weight class was.
125, 133, 165, 174, 197 all had former champs that did not repeat.
Six weights had returning runner ups who did not make it back to the finals.
Several first time All Americans, several who got back to the podium who did not do it last year.
Then there are all the former All Americans that did not repeat.
Finally, Ramos’s vision quest with parallels to Larry Owings. Last year when Ramos was at 133 he pinned Luca Byrd. He drops to 125 and pins Lee in a similar fashion.
We remember more of what Gable did after his loss to Owings. I hope the same for Spencer and he goes on to win gold at the Olympics.
So true about parody, awesome to see, and I love that Alirez decided to stay home and win a Natty, I love the B1G Ten and they are the most dominant conference by far but they also qualify the most wrestlers for NCAA's so they'll always have the most AA's
Outstanding channel you are running bud. It takes lots of time and work to put these together and we all appreciate it.
This finals show was cRazY. Watching RBY get worked and nullified in such a way was awesome (not a penn state fan 😂).
As for Yani,……good lord he’s a great wrestler and so damn humble. I can’t wait to see him in the future.
I can’t leave without stating how much of a cry baby turd I think Spencer Lee is. I’ve always been in awe of his wrestling, but wanted to see him get beat. The way he was beat was so damn impressive and demoralizing, without a doubt will go down in the history books of wrestling for sure. I call him a turd because he just couldn’t take that loss and come back out to finish the tournament, but instead cried like a petulant child and quit! How F’ed up was that?
We all will forever remember Spencer for this, and his crazy Mothers show in the stands won’t help us forget either. 😂
Vito!!!!! Just wow….😮. It was a awesome tournament!
Nobody believes me when I say my 125 bracket had Lee getting pinned in the semis and defaulting out like a dungheel rooster to finish 6th!!!
I believe you, he was put on his back several times this season. It was bound to happen. Lame he forfeited too.
@@ATS83 Yeah, defaulting out cost his team a bunch of points.
Congrats to Vito. I was rooting for RBY but he got beat. That said RBY seemed to struggle in his semi match. Don't know if he was gassed but he sure looked like it.
Eyy fanco, I called Alirez winning when you made that 141 video months ago
G TOWN 💪
1k subs "in the past 2 days"...it seems the goal posts have moved. 🤣
As an Iowa fan I can honestly say RBY losing takes some of the sting out of the Lee situation.
I wish Spencer would have finished the tournament. I didn't hear anything about an injury, yet he medically forfeited out of the tournament. This is done way to much in the sport.
I'm a PSU Fan...Gotta say though, Vito is a Freak. So tall for his weight and lightning quick.
That second takedown was bonkers. Hard to follow even in slow-motion!
I wouldn't say Starocci tossed Labriola to his back, rather Labriola failed in his grambi attempt that Carter defended very well. Also I thought for a couple years now that Vito would be a good match up for RBY because of his superior speed, didn't expect him to win until early on in the match, but I'm glad we finally got to see that match up
No we cannot let it become a lifetime, it needs to remain individual seasons. If they want to make a lifetime achievement award they need to do that, the Hodge trophy should remain year to year. As far as I'm concerned if you got a loss you cannot win it over and undefeated wrestler in that season barring extreme circumstances like a vast number of pins or something. Yanni does not get this because of his lifetime achievement that's crap. I like Yanni but this is not about that. Frankly I think that award needs to go to Vito💪🏿.
Vito lost this year to Latonna
@@Spanky7 that's fine the give it to someone who's undefeated. As I stated, exempt for extreme circumstances, like for example the wrestler with the longest active winning streak and 2 time defending champ in a dominate fashion 🤷🏿♂️ so I maintain
Great coverage and great commentary!!
it was definitely one of the better seasons
Great season Josiah! I think the Hodge should go to Parris
You shouldn't allow someone with a loss to win the Hodge no matter what their career achievements are. Starocci or Parris are the best candidates.
You should do lineup projections for 2024 now that season is over. You can make a different vid for every team roster. Fans will be eager to see what their lineups should look like next year
This is an NCAA tournament that will be talked about for decades to come - for great reason.
Fanco great job. Keep chasing your dreams kiddo.
Based on the criteria for the season, it should honestly be down to Parris and Alirez. If you look at record, dominance, quality of competition and sportsmanship, they are the top 2
Thanks for all your great videos!! Is Starocci coming back? I read somewhere that he's not. Wants an Olympic gold.
Olympics or MMA? He seems to have an eye on both.
Does he have any redshirts left?
The hodge is voted on by past winners. No way they vote for Yianni with a loss
U on food therory
Let's start here...Yanni got pinned in the semi's. And I don't like when officiating gives the benefit of the doubt falls to Spinner and Yanni. For Aaron to be a 3 seed was embarrassing and he showed them..I loved it. Carter..hope he comes back for his 4th. Can't wait to watch his MMA career. But..again..penn st proved to be too much.
Hey guys I've had to hit all personalization button every time I check your content I'm back to scratch again. Hope I'm not missing to many posts by you guys. I hope I'm not missing any posts period. Please check for me. OH YAHH!! BY THE BLEEPIN WAY ( AWSEOME, AWESOME, AWSOME) COVERAGE NCAAS THIS YEAR LOVED TAKE AND REACTION WITH LEE LOST. LOVED YOUR HONESTY I GOT A LITTLE CHOCKED TO. LETTING KIDS KNOW THAT'S COOL, IS COOL! 🤯🤯🤯😢
Including his pettiness against teammate Ayala, GOAT-to-goat Lee needs to grow up. Cael lost internationally, Dake has lost 10-0. Burroughs, Cox, and Taylor have all lost and learned. If he’d beaten Ramos, would Lee have forfeited out of the final? Grace in defeat (see teammate Woods, Dean after consolation path) says more about a person’s character than winning ever does.
Can't believe you only have 37k man, I've been watching for years and I love your content.
Its because wrestling has a tiny fanbase
Poor coaching and match plan for Lee.All Lee had to do was just wrestle Ramos and stay out of positions he could get thrown to his back !!once in a lifetime opportunity lost by forgetting and not planning against what happened their first meeting !!!Glory showed why he is an Ivy Leaguer.He was smart and didn’t expose himself to upsetting match changing throws!!!Spencer is by far a better wrestler than Ramos!!!Spencer and his coaches should have planned much better for this!match ,especially with so much at stake!!!Also when Real Woods reached and got his arms around Alirez in the same body lock manner Lee did with Ramos ,it backfired on him as it did Spencer !!!Woods and Lee probably would have been National champions if they would have made their opponents just wrestle them with their skill set and stayed clear of dangerous moves!! In both Iowa high stakes losses coaches nationwide should learn from what happened and teach their wrestlers in high stakes matches what they need to know!!!
Josiah, I know the season just ended a few days ago, but given how Starocci has expressed desire to potentially redshirt and train for the 2024 Olympics then go into UFC, do you think he will return to PSU and win another title> Would love to see a video on this as well as an early look at what tge PSU lineup would potnetially look like with/without Starocci next year.
Great season and great tournament bro thanks for all the content we all appreciate it! Until next year
I just think Ramos Countered Lee hard. I do think Pat Glory earned and deserved that NCAA champion title tho.
Biggest winner of the night was Cornell: third place, two champions, and becoming the only school to have two 4x winners.
O'Connor 🍀👑
Based on the season, Lee earned the Hodge Trophy. The biggest problem I see is not him getting pinned, it happens. The problem could be dropping out of the tournament after the loss. If you think it was a medical reason ask yourself if he would have wrestled in the final if he won. Would have been great to see him get to 100 wins if he secured two more wins.
He’s so injured and in so much pain. Going after a title is worth injuring himself further. Wrestling for 3rd isn’t worth it to him and his future. Gold is the focus now.
@@saljablo2767 how you know that?
@@Ruthless-1699 he had both ACLs replaced and is competing at the highest levels of the toughest sport on earth. He will NEVER be or feel the same again. Every match hurts and is a grind. Take a look at his reaction to having to wrestle Ayala. Every match is a chance of him getting hurt so bad he will never touch the mat again. So yea, a 3rd place isn’t worth it to him or his future going for world and Olympic gold. Call it a very educated opinion.
No way Lee gets the Hodge.
Mason Parris will get it before him.
@@Dr_C_Smith it’s obvious Yianni is the guy for the hodge. Let’s stop.
Keep up the great work! My 5 year old son and I enjoy watching all your latest videos 🔥🔥
Good commentary, but you guys need to know it's pronounce RAH mos, not RAY mos.
Imagine if otoole moves up to 74 next year and wrestles starocci 😮
I don't think O'Toole is big enough to move up. Even against Carr he looked noticeably smaller which I think was a big reason why he struggled so much in there first two matches. Unless he spends all off-season bulking up significantly then I don't see how he could compete against Starocci.
I could see sterocci and brooks both moving up a weight class. Sterocci is a huge 174 lber and brooks has a big enough frame to go to 197.
@@jeremygregory7178 I bet they both bump up, Brooks talked about struggling to make weight in his post match interview
The Hodge needs to go to Parris. Based on the criteria he deserves it more than anyone else. As long as there are undefeated champs, you should not be allowed to vote for guys with a loss on principle.
All the upsets, but being a Nazareth grad, couldn't get the one upset that I really wanted.
I was a little disappointed spencer didnt wrestle back. I think it hurts his image long term. I always saw him as a leader, kind of took a hit to me.
Do you work for matpat and film theory you are in style theory video you look alike
Vito kicked Dayton & RBY’s ass. amazing!
Yanni should not win the hodge he has one loss. Although I would not be upset if he wins.
Sloan played with house money and damn near took down the casino
Aye I just saw you on the game theory channel and was so confused
When is the last time the Hodge winner had a loss?
Vito blew my mind!!!!
Great breakdown. Keep up the good work
Who won the hodge?
They didn't vote yet
i just saw you in a food theory video
Who won the Hodges trophy?
"Excuses are for Wussies"
Vito should get hodge in my opinion. Dominating fix, and rby was insane. I’m seriously excited to see him go up against Gilman this year…or will he make 57kg, regardless I think Vito should get hodge.
He seemed to indicate that he wants to try to get back down to 57 kg…
@@Dr_C_Smith cool
Vito has a loss to Latona this year
@@PJP1112 o does he? Ok. I didn’t know that. I retract my statement. Nonetheless Vito really impressed me this year.
@@Energy_Apprentice_Ken yea this year is pretty wild with so many top guys having losses. Undefeated champs this year are 125 Glory, 141 Alriez, 157 AOC, 174 Starocci and 285 Parris. My vote was for David Carr before he lost in the finals.
Hodge Trophy ranking for me:
1. Yianni D
2. Carter Starocci
3. Austin O'Connor
4. Aaron Brooks
5. Keegan O'Toole
6. Mason Parris
7. Nino Bonaccorsi
8. Vito Arujau
9. Pat Glory
10. Andrew Alirez
Why Yianni? I pick Parris because IMO he was the most dominant wrestler this year and undefeated.
Vito and RBY ( Always been a fan of both)
What a match. Match of the Evening of very good matches.
For everyone talking about how fast Vito's speed was amazing.
The fastest Vito match this year was against McGee.
Who would of thought when watching them then that the two would be 1 and 3 this year and both would beat Fix.
Vito Arujau And Michael McGee's INTENSE Back And Forth Battle
Killer take down at 4:05
ua-cam.com/video/L2czQKtN8-c/v-deo.html
I agree that Vito had the most impressive tournament. He sealed it by beating both Fix and RBY convincingly! He's become a total force, and very fun to watch, too.
I was a little surprised about how well (or not so well) OK St did.
Tied for 18th place with AFA, and that was with all the points Fix scored for them.
My, how the mighty have fallen.
Hey Josiah when are you going to make a video about the other biggest upset in NCAA wrestling history with Vito beating a returning 2x NCAA champ RBY with crazy takedowns??? We know Spencer Lee got caught slipping and got pinned, but RBY was dominated by Vito’s takedowns!!!!
You see how important getting an early lead is. Your probability of winning goes up immediately. Arujau and RBY are pretty even talent wise, but if you give a great wrestler a big lead good luck. The wrestling was great in most of the matches. I like how the freedom of movement has changed so much throughout the years.
I am a little surprised though how many wrestlers are so comfortable rolling from any position, and getting into body locks in close matches. Many of them get caught. They should strategize better than that, but hey it makes it exciting.
Make A video of the upcoming Penn state freshmen and from other schools if possible. Josh Barr is 174 I wanna see your thoughts on that since him and Carter are in the same weight class.
Only had 2 wrong picks in the finals this year really thought Ramos would win and was hoping kekeisen would’ve pulled an upset
guys like Deakin, O'Connor, Brooks are guys on the top of my mind that just looked so much more imposing than the guys in their weights.
I think Ramos is very good but not the top guy at 25 he was just the only guy who could beat Spencer because of their styles.
Awesome thanks
Starocci should get the Hodge, Yanni has a loss, Vito OW of tournament.
Starocci didn't throw him to his back. Labriola had a piss poor attempt at a Granby and basically rolled to his back.
