I did 2 loads of laundry and painted my back porch before this match ended. 😂
Real
And saw the sun come twice 🙂
@@Joeblow-ms3cv 😂
😂😂😂
How much would you charge to paint my porch? 🧐
Fix loses in the finals again for doing nothing during the match, who saw that coming?
Announcers said both are in their 7th year. You would think Fix would have learned a few tricks in that time.
lol 😂
He’s so boring
We all knew he was cooked at start of 3rd
It's terribly annoying to watch him Stall his way through ANOTHER NCAA finals!!!
Daton Fix is the Bills of the 90's
Yes except 2023 where he lost to Vito in the semi finals.
@@xenonmaster6668lost 4 finals

@@googlegmail9888 and still choked!
In 4 NCAA finals, Daton Fix has not scored a single offense point, only escapes, stalling points, and penalty points.
2019 vs Suriano, 2 escapes.
2021 vs RBY, 2 stalling points.
2022 vs RBY, 2 escapes.
2024 vs Vito 2 escapes and 1 penalty point.
In 2019 they called a horrible stalemate. Suriano was gonna get ridden out if they didn’t call that stalemate. I’d say fix in 2019 was his best chance to win a natty.
@xenonmaster6668 maybe but its not the refs fault he never won a title. He literally did not score points and he was almost gifted a title the first time he wrestled RBY.
Thats crazy lmao. I dont feel bad for dude tho, hes like the human textbook definition of second place.
The truth burns 😭
You just exposed him. I hope Fix sees this comment.
I hope fix doesn’t get confused when ppl hate on him. He stands for everything wrestlers hate, quit stalling and wrestle!!!
NCAA NEEDS TO INCORPORATE FREESTYLE RULE OF STEPPING OUT OF BOUNDS FOR 1 POINT, THIS WILL ELIMINATE EDGE OF MAT STALLING
& relies on penalties points too much I’m glad he lost
And steroids

@googlegmail9888 why do you keep posting this everywhere? The people get it lmao
Vito wrestled to win. Fix wrestled not to lose. That's always a hard task to pull off.
This sentence is dumb as hell but makes sense at the same time. Fix is scared
@@sportikaa Was not a dumb comment, Vito was all offense, and Fix just countered and ran hoping for a win.
Fix wasn't hurt he was scared. Him and John Smith are the biggest bone heads in Oklahoma@@sportikaa

I like how Vito's father backs away from the interview to ensure his son is front-and-center. He did that last year, also.
Just love the "STALLING!" chants. Fix deserved those 110%. He has showed ZERO evolution since 2019.

@@gregorydryden7865 that would be great actually haha. too many guys use the edge of the mat as a tactic to bail if they get shot on ..
It gets harder to evolve as an adult though

@@MrSilus2000meh
I think everyone can agree these reviews are taking WAY too long. 22 minute match? Ridiculous.
IKR? It's been a problem ALL TOURNAMENT.
@@CarolinaBlood704oh man. 2022 it wasn’t that bad but holy shit it’s so bad AGAIN in 2024.
Blood time took a lot of time out as well
Def it should take maybe a minute at most for a really tough call
Being in the video review room with the officials there is a lot of moving parts. Also, it was really hard for them to hear on the phone so there are glitches that could be improved
Vito, much respect man. You simply have grit. Champions take the gold, you simply took it from both Crookham and Fix. Much deserved gold medal 🏅
Glad Fix lost. Does nothing but stall the whole match. Wants blood time to take a breather bc he doesn’t have the cardio. Vito deserved that win
Daton fix popped for steroids
DC: "Fix wrestles like a heavyweight". 🤣🤣🤣 @18:22
Even heavyweight today still take more shots than Fix. Fix need to fix his damn offense and develop a shot that works. You would think in 5 years in collage he would change that and develop as an offensive machine. But I guess he's content wrestling defensively and giving crowds a boring match.
DC was the greatest wrestling commentator ever! I’m praying they have him every year
The reviews and the blood time were next level, but I found it a very compelling match anyway.
In Fix’s 4 NCAA championship appearances (2019 vs Suriano, 2021 vs RBY, 2022 vs RBY, and 2024 vs Vito) he has only ever scored points for escapes, stalling, and locked hands. Never once had he gotten a takedown, reversal, riding time, or back points in his 4 championship matches.
Might be the least offensive wrestler in D1 History

Also, Daton Fix never scored a single offensive point in the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals of this NCAA tournament. Let that sink in.
Refs tried taking away this match from Vito
Refs helped Vito tbh
looked more like they tried giving vito several unearned takedowns
Nah Vito didn’t need the breaks. Vito is high paced. Fix needs breaks why you think he wanted so much blood time

That's not a perfect solution because pushing is another form of stalling
@@ImOnlySIeeping I agree some modifications would apply, someone relying on push outs would be called for stalling, etc.
@@ImOnlySIeepingin freestyle, a full on 2 handed push out of bounds doesn't count as a push out point, it needs to be during wrestling action.
Also, there needs to be a foot stepping out to be counted as a step out point. Ways wrestlers dodge this rule is by dropping to their knees during their defensive position so if they go out of bounds then it's just back to middle with no points awarded.
But at times offensive wrestlers use it to their advantage because they can get to the legs and hope for a step out point without ever actually finishing a takedown properly.
Its not a perfect rule, just something else to think about.
It’s beating a dead horse at this point, but it’s true. Daton is a stall merchant. He just doesn’t get to his offense and it bites him in big matches.
Stall merchant 😂
There guys that are touching each other bloody hell this is a "sport" bread and circus you will own nothing and be happy Klaus schwab
good one lmao 😂😅

Cause he's gassed man !
I don't understand how Daton hasn't developed a better offensive wrestling system for himself yet. He deserves to lose
He’s won a ton… that’s how he got to 4 finals.
@@SeaTeaSnow 4 finals, 0 titles. Obviously something ain't working out.
@@Solaxerhe practices under the man who gave us the low level yet I haven’t seen him do it once
His ranking and bracket this year were fixed to give him another finals shot, and he nearly screwed that up with Zero offensive points in the quarter finals, semi finals, and finals.
How can a ref count ankles without giving a takedown?! Vito got screwed multiple times and still won. Vito is a wrestler fix is a staller
Daton fix popped for steroids
No, they were trying to give him take downs that werent takedowns. Not a fan of fix but this one feels wrong. These stalling calls are weak.
Dam vito was on fire the past few days, feel bad for fix but good to see Vito become a champion again
I don’t. Daton fix popped for steroids
Thank goodness I could fast forward watching here; but anyway, wasn't even close -- Vito's all heart, drive and enthusiasm. The look on his face beginning the third period left zero doubt to me, he's gonna win.
Daton fix popped for steroids
He only took one shot and it was at the end of the match when he had no other choice. What’s wrong with that dude?

Vito looking like Vito again
Great way for Vito to close his collegiate chapter, now it’s time to take on the Globe! Section 8 Represent.
I remember when his older brother Nick was wrestling and dominating . We all as youngsters were in awe - until a wise buddy of ours had said, “Wait until Vito comes around, this kid’s gonna be an animal.” Lo and behold, an animal he is. Incredible to see.
Nassau County guys, much respect from Suffolk. You had two guys from Nassau in the finals. Be proud. Stong Island
That did not strike like how u thought it was gonna strike
Section 8 stand up 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Fix losing at his 10th NCAA final.
Sad that either of these grapplers has to miss out on the victory. 4 Silver Medals(aka NCAA Runner up’s) nothing to be ashamed of. As the commentators noted, we are witnessing “very high level wrestling”. Go Big Red!
John Smith is an all time great but he didnt push Daton to evolve his game at all. He had 0 takedowns in 4 finals appearances.
Please note: His 0 takedowns was not because he was being destroyed by tech. fall or pinned...Daton lost his finals by a combined total of 7 points. A takedown in regulation against Suriano or twice with Roman Bravo-Young would have gotten him a championship.
If he ONLY needed that amount of points in 4 Matches, why didn’t he score? He’s a stall machine hoping to take advantage of someone else’s aggression.
Almost as incompetent at developing talent as Brands
Vito!! What a wild match!
Fix always has some of the longest ncaa championship matches
The crowd was not booing Daton Fix. They were booing the bad calls in the quarter-finals that gave Daton the win. They were booing the bad calls in the semi-finals that gave Daton the win. They were booing in the finals because it was happening again.
He's arrogant, unlikeable and cheats.
Only thing I love more than watching daton choke is Vito win! Lets go babayyyy!!!!
best match I've ever seen, in terms of energy, storyline,and action
i love vito such an inspo
DC needs to watch his mouth accusing Vito of head budding Fix.
Poor commentary from DC.
Part of me feels bad or fix, but I knew and wanted vito to win
I saw an interview of Fix after the match, and he was smiling, and I thought "Good for him to be able to smile after the way things turned out - he must've seen the bright side."
And I couldn't think of why, but I thought of the Bills documentary I saw on Netflix last month. I'd seen some, fell asleep, and woke up towards the end when the Bills interviewees each smiled for the camera - which I thought was a good thing to see, having gone through that much heartbreak.
... but when I watched the parts I missed, up through the end, I started to think that, based on the way they spoke about it, they were probably smiling for the camera to a large extent. Watching Fix speak, it felt similar. And then I finally realized why I thought of the 90's Bills when seeing the thumbnail of his interview.
LOL.. good analysis, you may be right
With the NFL analogy> Daton Fix is more like Jay Cutler. He has all of the abilities to be one of the greats in the sport. However, he seems to lack the drive to improve his abilities.
Hey shout out to the NCAA. Great choice of announcers. They did a great job! I think the NCAA has found the right team to announce the tournament in the future.
Why do they let DC terrorize two sports commentaries?
The best match in the world
20+ minute match because of all the blood time and challenges. Vito was the aggressor and showed that sitting back and playing defensive can burn you.
Shout out to the 4x’ers. It extremely rare and based on this year Mesembrink can’t join, Welsh won’t, Shapiro can’t, Kasak (who did a hell of a job running off 7 straight on the back side) won’t. Just shows how hard this thing is.
Kasak wrestled up at 149 due to Van Ness’ injury. Since the 2021 year is not counted Kasak can redshirt and come back at 141 in 2025-2026.
Penn St is going to have a log jam of wrestlers who can start anywhere except there
Mesembrink was damn close to winning too. The stalls imo all finals were AWFUL!!!! 3 stalls on David Carr is ridiculous.
One of the greatest wrestling matches I've ever watched
Serious question: is there an interview or article I can read somewhere with daton giving his thoughts on his collegiate career? I wonder what goes through his mind in these big matches. Is it nerves, luck, is he a head case? Genuinely curious.
Fix is the best second best athlete I’ve ever watch and I couldn’t be happier
🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TimM-wk1zx lazy wrestling lazy result
You kinda feel bad for the guy at this point always ending on loss for this tournament. He took 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, & 2nd. Not to mention he took 2ND at senior worlds 😅. Hopefully that doesn’t get in way mentally for him moving forward tryin to make a Olympic team
Feel bad for a boring 26 year old cheater, OK
Daton Fix fleeing the mat at 16:46
The fact Daniel Cormier sounded so savy with the headbutt term in the beginning but forgot what it’s called later in the video 😂😂😂
Kerk at HWT scored more offensive points in the first period of the NCAA finals against Davidson, than Fix did in all his Finals matches combined.
I think is the outstanding wrestler of the tourney!!
The sad part is, I don’t actually think Fix has improved since his freshman year… If anything he’s gotten worse
He has & always depends on bs technical calls. You can’t depend on the ref to win you a NCCA championship. I blame John Smith as well
@@Ur2ez4me81 completely agree! Smith looks to the ref to bail out all his wrestlers. its so bizarre
Satisfying
This year's commentators talk way too much and it sounds like a circus....IMO
This match shows how challenges are being used by coaches to stop a wrestler from getting a take down. Terrible referees.
You can understand why Vito was so mad. He saw the ref call 3 for the takedown and settled in and let action go off the mat. If it wasn't going to be a TD, he would have had the opportunity to pull him back in and try again.
Fix is a lifetime student at this point, so he will have many more chances for that ncaa title
Congrats to Vito. Dayton just did not have the offense to overcome Vito’s defense. And eventually Vito’s constant pressure proved too much
Daniel Cormier sure likes to hear himself talk…
I finally had to mute the commentary. He is just awful.
All you guys do is complain
Daniel cormier is an absolute goat and amazing commentator so be quiet bum
Cormier is a legend shut you mouth
You’re the reason wrestling is one of the worst sports ever lol
Deadass and he was ripping on fix the whole time. I expect a lot more professionalism from a regional commentator. This guys on national TV ripping an accomplished athlete.
I cannot believe daton fix really didn’t even try to win his 4 ncaa title appearances. Crazy. Buffalo bills of college wrestling
28 minute video for one match is crazy
Fix was wrestling when i was in college back in 2017
21:54 is the biggest “ball don’t lie” moment in wrestling history
I dont like that style of wrestling Fix, Teemer, RBY and others have. Do nothing, no offense, just wait for your opponent to shoot then react. Its boring and in the end when you need a shot, or go to move or some offense its not there. Im glad Vito showed RBY last year and Fix this year in the finals how its done.
Don’t lump rby in there his freshman and sophomore year he was a takedown machine. Idk why he shut it down later on but bro he teched jordan Decatur off tds only he put a football score of like 25-7 on that boy
I watched RBY have 17 takedowns in one match….Hr scored more points maybe than anyone I’ve ever watched….Its about matchups….he wrestled a certain way to beat Fix. And RBY wasn’t on steroids.
4 finals, 0 wins. That's gotta sting man.
As a former wrestler it's no small feat reaching the finals in a tournament. Doing it at that level four times is admirable, five times if you count the World Championship. 5x Big 10 Champion. A great wrestler.
Daton Fix is the NCAA Finals gatekeeper Goat 😂
I love watching Vito's dad on the sidelines go crazy during the match. He was so animated!
Same the David Carr's dad during his Big 12 champioship match with Keegan O'Toole. He was going crazy on the sidelines.
Although nowhere close to Fix's caliber. In my minimal wrestling career, I carried more silvers than anything. My mindset was to fight to the championship but then everything fell apart for my mindset and skills. The plus side. I had a TON of medals but way too many silvers....
Wow who saw that coming
Interesting names of these lads
Fix should have wrestled the first two periods with the same intensity he had in the last 15 seconds.
It kind of breaks my heart because he had the potential to win this thing. Nothing against Vito. He's the real deal. It's just hard to see fix not wrestle to his potential.
These announcers, especially the one that accused Vito of head butting was so stupid 🤦 dude shut up.
Also so glad “StallFix” lost 😂
21:48 crazy how after that long break from the challenge Vito instantly proves he’s better than fix in every single way by taking him down
If you have sleeping problems watch a Daton Fix match
22 min match. Insane.
Vito missed far ankle twice, so something to work on. Dayton's reactions very quick but good offense usually wins.
He wrestles not to lose and definitely one of the biggest stallers. I mean obviously he's extremely immensely talented you don't become a four-time division 1 All-American but whenever he's on that main stage semi-final or final if I was the officiating crew I'd be hitting him for stalling in the first period and could have been hit for fleeing the mat. What toys and composure veto has when you're getting screwed over and screwed out of points
Fix is literally 40 yrs old still wrestling and has no title
By the time this match ended I graduated college, got married, and had kids
Fix didnt cut down or go up. Gotta give him the respect
4x………runner up
Yep very unfortunate.
Has that EVER happened before in wrestling?
@@CarolinaBlood704 nope, not in college
@@Steve-ot6zptell me you are lying. No one has ever Gomes 4 time finalist without winning it?….
@@robertosantos4730 there’s been multiple 3x national runner ups, but never a 4x national runner up. Except now..
Vito turns into a monster under pressure
Congratulations Fix! You got second and you didn't even have to wrestle Crookham.
It's a good thing there is no REAL second place challenge matches at the NCAA Wrestling Championships
This match was as long as a title fight in the UFC.
NCAA Championships used to be less than 2 hours long. This one was close to 4 hours. They need to fix that shit next year.
I see what you're getting at...lol
This is heartbreaking for fix.
Little confused. Daton Fix is 5 times All Americans. How come he get extra year? He start in 2019. Can you tell me how? He didn't wrestle at 2020 but NCAA gave him extra year even if he didn't wrestle?
2019 - 2nd
2020 - Didn't wrestle and NCAA cancelled due of Covid
2021 - 2nd
2022 - 2nd
2023 - 4th
2024 - 2nd
Fix always does nothing. He’s purely defensive, but that’s not enough against someone like Vito.
Even John Smith knew Fix was not going to win. Fix, is purely defensive and reactive, does not initiate. It is almost like he’s scared to initiate and end up in a situation he’s uncomfortable in. Can’t win the Big stage like that.
NCAA national champion. Degree from Cornell. Slacker
Daton “Deuce” Fix
How many attacks did vito have? Like 10 15? Fix scored a locking hands, an escape from vito cutting him, and one escape on his own...fix essentially scored one escape that match and calling for blood time the entire time and still had a chance to steal it at the end...so happy vito won, fix didn't deserve this...vito also had 2 or 3 takedowns wiped off, this easily could have been a major decision
Dayton Fix baited the lock hands call and was punished for it.
The game plan for fix was good but you have to get a take down to win in the finals especially against a guy like vito
First 4x time runner up in history is crazy 😂 Just name the silver medal Daton Fix at this point 💀
Daton Fix looking like Ben Askrin
Ouch, Daton Fix going out like 90’s Buffalo Bills.
Man I hope we get to see that Fix “kid” in the finals again in the future. 😂
The reality of this match is this: Daton tried to wrestle Vito straight up last year and got smoked. Daton knows Vito is the better wrestler so this year Daton decided not to wrestle. He hoped to evade, move, circle, counter, stall, look for help from the official and his coach.
He lost in the worst way you can lose as a wrestler. He didn’t wrestle.
Fix is the new DC to me
Section 8 Super Saiyan 👏👏👏
Daton is retiring now at 65 years old and will start collecting Social Security.
😂
they the same age.
This match had its own filler arc. 20+ min of fluff and delay. Glad Vito overcame the weirdness and lack of output from the other side
