Abas looks to be the better wrestler in this video but McIlravy pulled out the typical Iowa win by wanting it more. He got Abas gassed and went after him and came out the winner. That is how you finish a match!
The real Champion. The ref got excited and started calling bullshit stalling along with escapes when there were never escapes. Those bullshit escapes allowed McIIravy get undeserved takedowns.
@shwann125 the first stall call, fair enough. But if you think the 2nd stall call was warranted, then you must be watching a different match. First off, Abas was square and defending. he barely backed up if that, not enough to give Mac 1 pt in a nat'l title match for goodness sake. As far as Mac "shooting" 5 times, it's more just reaching and trying to force the stall call (don't blame Mac one bit). There is a huge difference between backing up and having good defense, Gerry did the latter.
Best NCAA finals match I have ever witnessed!!! Shot out to both wrestlers because they left it all out on the mat! BARN BURNER!!!!!
This & Metcalf/caldwell
That was the best video i have seen on youtube! Was sooo intense.
Please
Abas lost it for himself. I bet that shit haunts him still.

Best wrestling match I've ever seen
Stall calls and potentially dangerous calls were called everytime Abas was in on McIIravy attempting to finish a takedown. That favored McIIravy.
@shwann125 crackdowns are part of wrestling. the "stopping" calls were too quick. they were both in wrestling positions.
I think the ref didnt want abas to just burn time by hanging on, but I agree...pretty fast potentially dangerous calls
@coachsabin Mcilravy is the man.

The scoring went from 8-3 at the End of the first to 8-8 after a mcilravy escape and takedown. Suppose to be 8-6???? Unless I missed something
It was 8-5, the scoreboard hadn't quite caught up yet and given Mcilravy his 2 point reversal at the very end of the period.
This looks like a dual meet
best finals match ever!!!
Lincoln was 96-3 and was a 3 time NCAA champ and Olympic medalist. The outcome of this match isn't a surprise as some of you think.
So was Abas
@jurom7 it allows for non earned stall calls

@shwann125 Re
aching and pushing is not a shot
i've watched this match multiple times and it still bothers me about the stupid ref and the stall calls..jesus
reaching should not be considered shots!!!
@shwann125 The refs are influenced by IOWA and GABLE. Open your eyes on the obvious.
