126 - Ethan Olson {G} of IL CornStars Silver vs. Isaac Thornton {R} of Kentucky Xtreme

[@chickenfarm09]

1:35 awesome test of strength, stamina and flexibility. These young men have it

[@tommyl9961]

Great camera work

[@anthonywebster2692]

Proud to say that is my former teammate and will always be a brother good stuff Isaac love you bro your on to big things 💯

[@danlogan9561]

Ethan feet look a lot quicker in this match than in prior ones. However his opponent was so dominate, fast and aggressive Ethan looked gased at the 4 min mark of this video. Once again an amazing job filming. Ethan def looks stronger than in prior matches, but his opponent was just too much

[@tomascorp3860]

Muy buena pelea y excelente video. Las tomas están muy bien hechas y logradas. ¡GRACIAS!

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

It would seem that Thornton has more muscular strength, but Olson has a rubbery technique, incredible moves and endurance.

[@samiryan214]

at 126 with that performance just wow

[@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459]

Props to Ethan for hanging in there, he never gave up. That other guy is tough.

[@retroguy9494]

Tough? Or just more skilled?

[@callen8000]

Thornton has better spin moves than my washing machine!

[@basiliogloria4156]

Excelente match Thornton es maravilloso

[@CarlosGonzalez-il6sl]

Thanks!

Wrestling is an amazing sport

[@mochiman1943]

@Jeff Whitman I’m 15 and just started wrestling but I’m 6’1 so is wrestling still a problem?

[@MidwestWrestle]

@@mochiman1943 Wrestling itself does not inherently stunt your growth-quite the opposite, actually. While I can't read Jeff's mind, I strongly suspect he is referring to those who use aggressive tactics to cut weight such as dehydration and malnutrition. Avoid those and you'll be fine.

[@francispurdy8592]

To me this looks like a very even match, when all said and done. Cheers Francis&Gracie Sydney Australia

[@Fedgery007]

That guy in black was really good.

[@Sean-me4fv]

Great channel thank you

[@MidwestWrestle]

Very generous, thank you Sean!

[@steveaustin286]

Great sport

[@peternolan4107]

Does a wrestler have to pass out before the ref decides he is being choked?

[@barmanetoile5398]

wow

[@5of7james]

The guy in the green onesie has his opponent around the neck (choking?) all the time. Is this allowed?

[@MidwestWrestle]

Hi 5of7James: Just to clarify, the uniform is referred to as a singlet. With regard to the neck, the rules state: "Any hold/maneuver with pressure exerted over the opponent’s mouth, nose, throat or neck that restricts breathing or circulation is illegal." It is the official's responsibility to make a subjective determination as to whether breathing was sufficiently restricted to be dangerous.

[@retroguy9494]

"Onesie" 😂🤣

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Two very well-matched wrestlers. A tough and suspenseful bout.

[@patricksnyder3446]

Why don't you show the score in these matches??

[@dottistyle1720]

@ 6:06 - Awkward 😂 He went to fist bump and one of the guys was confused. He's like forget it and walks away 🤣

[@mushy213]

dont know much about wrestling but this is fascinating. was red allowed to literally choke green's throat though all this? sounds illegal or like he should have been DQed

[@MidwestWrestle]

Welcome to the channel, cakesoncups. Per the rules book, "Any hold/maneuver with pressure exerted over the opponent’s mouth, nose, throat or neck that restricts breathing or circulation is illegal." It is the official's responsibility to make a determination as to whether breathing was sufficiently restricted to be dangerous. In this case, the official determined that the pressure exerted across the neck did not dangerously impair breathing.

[@urbangardener66]

@@MidwestWrestle maybe someone should wrap their arms around the refs neck for 5 min so he can see if at any point he has difficulty breathing

[@IgorProkhorov111]

Sorry, what does it mean "G"?

I had no clue they had contact sports during the pandemic.

[@HelloooThere]

Only in Republican states

[@retroguy9494]

@@HelloooThere LMAO They had it in MY state too, which is a blue state although I live in a republican county IN that blue state. The only caveat was that there were NO spectators allowed. Wrestlers and coaches only. And the state tourney, normally held in a big convention hall, was held in a high school gym.

WATERMARK VISIBILITY Your audio and video are highly professional and high quality. Your subtle, low-contrast, channel URL Watermark located next to the bottom of the viewable screen could easily be cropped out by a pirate without giving you any credit as the original content creator. I don't know how to prevent such pirates, but some KZbin channels place their large, high-contrast logo in a conspicuous location (e.g., upper or lower right-hand corner on the top cover page) on each of their videos. Example > https ://www .youtube .com /c/Mosfilm_eng > Best wishes. :-)

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you for the suggestion, Ardy! I am currently experimenting with adding forensic watermarks repeated throughout the image at very low opacity levels (between 3% to 5%) in order to help with identifying the source of the content even when the primary watermark at the bottom has been cropped out.

[@retroguy9494]

Aside from you being the copyright police, I'm actually very pleased where he puts the watermark as well as its low contrast. I cannot TELL you how many videos I have seen where the watermark is huge, dark and in a place which makes it difficult if not impossible to see. In HIS case, I have no trouble seeing all the moves. Wrestling moves very fast. And if a watermark were over the competitors, it would be very easy to miss a lot of the moves.

Too bad for Ethan the other guy was just on it from the start

Wrestling is stupid. Better off Brazilian Jujitsu or something else that is actually a sport.
