Looks like Lee widened the gap a little bit there.

[@JS45678]

Bar arms, ankle runs, telegraphs, wrists, deep waists...OLD SCHOOL Riding! 🥇🤠🥇

[@suspiciousneighbor4799]

Please use the newer terms because as far as I can tell these are moves many people know and prefer to use

[@JS45678]

Suspicious Neighbor 😳

[@chrisowen3264]

Lee is head and shoulders better than anyone at 125

[@SaltyArmy]

He sure is! Only one who truly can compete with him this year come March; given both are healthy is: Jack Mueller! Won’t be surprised a bit to see another Mueller/Lee Rematch in March!

[@michaelhayes6209]

Everyone is forgetting the kid from princeton! There is a reason they didn't wrestle him that wk

[@skinnytv1242]

Michael Hayes pat glory is a beast too but he’s just not on spencer lee’s level

[@rcbishop7580]

He's not just the best 125, he's the best lb 4 lb. as well and maybe the best ever.

[@michaelhayes6209]

I don't know skinny. And obviously, the coaches aren't too sure either. They made sure to 'rest' Spencer that wk.

[@hammertime1015]

Spencer Lee is the next 4x National Champion.

[@williambalentine5173]

Faf-kun looks like it.

[@cjb2836]

Last year I would have said him and yianni, but yianni redshirted this year so it has to be lee.

[@555dking]

CJ B Yianni can still be a 4X

[@micahfaxon8055]

@@555dking yeah, but not the next if Lee gets it first

[@SaltyArmy]

Dan King Yianni can’t now, he already redshirted, & now just his Olympic Redshirt. So the best he can do now if 3X(unless the NCAA permits him another year of eligibility).

[@chrislamprecht2115]

Spencer Lee has to be one of the most exciting wrestlers to watch. He is a monster in the NCAA, the sky is the limit for this man. Go Spencer!!

[@DTS_I]

You better believe Spencer Lee ain’t losing to this guy ever again.

[@someguynamedsteve3753]

Lol

[@JoseRodriguez-el7jq]

I just cant understand why piccininni would choose bottom, he should've gone netrual

[@beatlawdd2921]

Jose Rodriguez he needed to get points, he could have done it neutral, I half agree with you

[@hoopsmccann639]

@@beatlawdd2921 clearly piccininni can score on lee from neutral, but struggles on bottom against him. i 100% agree with jose.

[@JoseRodriguez-el7jq]

What i was trying to say is that, why would he choose bottom against a guy who can ride him for almost a whole period in this case it was almost two periods

[@warrenstanfield3]

Well he almost got up in the first period so i feel like he had some confidence in the decision to go down, clearly he was wrong.

[@blackhair8995]

Jose Rodriguez likely because he knew he was going to lose at that point, so he might as well get some practice on bottom against lee to prepare for March rather than just go neutral and get no where.

[@dontletyourmemesbedreams7574]

Spencer's headgear kept getting on his mouth, made him look kewl as he took Piccininni to school (im very proud of that elementary level word-play)

[@reggieglubber5420]

P.U.

[@555dking]

Surprised he still isn’t celebrating from last year

[@DuncanGwen27]

With the BS that happened to Zahid, I think it’s safe to say that as long as Lee does what he does he should be the Hodge winner. Can’t take it for granted though. May have been slightly gassed at the end given he barely goes into the 3rd period.

[@Gymthingz]

Zahid. Was never in talks for hodge

[@bengoetz649]

Nigeleht He was #1 in flo’s p4p rankings

[@timothywoods4329]

Agreed the only competition is Nick Lee, but as long as Spencer continues like this it should clearly be him.

[@bbdl7042]

Zahid was the hodge winner with how Spencer dropped out of tournaments and avoiding some matches. Nick lee definitely looks like a option with him dominating 141

[@gaber7520]

He gets tired because he is working so hard to turn picc so don't get after him for that

[@RyanLS]

Lee is simply on another level

[@BubbaPmp8088]

Imagine being so good that you major a 4 year state champ....insane

[@Lucky138able]

Nobody is on this kids level! Absolute top tier athlete!

[@LittleLight_]

I literally rewatch this match just to see Spencer’s movement on 9:42

[@jasonhyde9266]

I dislike Iowa wrestling but you can't deny Spencer's tilt.

[@sjwecks]

Just learning about collegiate wrestling. This was a good one to start with.

[@mikey1194]

Still crazy how Lee gives up size in most of his matchups at 125.

[@chamboyette853]

I met an exgirlfriend of Spencer Lee who told me she was able to beat him in wrestling when they were on the bed together. I therefore challenged her to a wrestling match and beat her easily. That means I'm an NCAA champ.

[@anthonymorton9299]

You can tell the Spencer Lee hasn’t gone the distance to many times this year… That last takedown looked like was just tired... but it doesn’t matter when you go up by eight in the first two

[@jomama969]

Yeah but if he doesn’t tilt Piccininni two times constantly ride him all match then he’s probably not as gassed. He’s also probably not sitting on a big lead either so which would you rather have? A major where you’re winded at the end or you got a lot left in the tank but could possibly lose in a last second takedown if the match is close?

[@RD-iq1bj]

Imagine the mental games that come with wrestling Lee, knowing you are bout to get bullied for 6 minutes straight (if you dont get pinned right away of course).

[@seanredman5311]

Lee has better cardio now too it seems. Dude is dangerous.

[@garvsen1216]

Leg brace is back!

[@abg125]

you don't beat Lee...especially with the leg brace!

[@za-pd8qf]

the NCAA should make a rule where u get a point for every minute of riding time.

[@steventhury8366]

I've wondered that myself. Problem might be is they would be some very boring points.

[@danielmain4741]

I've watched college wrestling for over a year now and just today I cleared this misconception. Big L

[@LegendaryTerrorist32]

No, that's the last thing they should do. They could make a rule where once you get your minute of riding time the ref stops it and then you just reset in neutral. Or just get rid of riding time and go to freestyle rules. Wrestlers on their feet is the most entertaining.

[@InternetMunchies]

They should not give rising time points at all and start calling stalling on some of these guys that cant turn somebody in 2 minutes

[@Kobethornton1234]

Yall confusing me ain't that what had happened?

[@schumpert327]

Spencer Freakin Lee Rules...

[@reggieglubber5420]

It's Spencer Lee. The pseudo profanity adds nothing.

[@tadxo]

Reggie Glubber you say that every time like anybody cares, it doesn’t make you look smart at all.

[@thurstonpowell8687]

Can't wait until Spencer competes with world class athletes. There has never been an athlete so dominate at these lower class weights

[@cujo777]

I’d say Spencer Lee is a decent wrestler

[@yourdaddy6030]

He ok I guess

[@anoka114]

Lee's armor is illegal. You either go over or get a dislocated shoulder.

It does toe the line but do you want a dislocated shoulder

[@codykp.]

Everybody know spencer only got pinned because he thought he would be whistled out of bounds nick will never be victorious over lee again

[@winfever9074]

ngl kinda dissapointed in Spencer Lee for the mat return like come on thats stalling all day

How do you get called for stalling seconds after you get a 4pt near fall?

The takedown he gave up I'm guessing

[@jasonwilds1236]

This match is the main reason I want Techs worth more than pins. Pins can accidentally happen, you can’t accidental major or tech someone. It’s pure I’m better than you as Lee is showing here. He got caught last year and this one wasn’t even close.
