[@jimineutron259]

@@hotwhisky6434 sorry Jorge, I think flow wrestling is doing a tremendous injustice to wrestlers, they are not getting the recognition they deserve because flow is trying to capitalize off their talents. We are not paying to watch, and it is making the sport less popular, not more popular. We don't pay to watch football, basketball, baseball etc. This is hurting wrestling.

[@danielcontreras618]

Very quick two count on that cradle if you ask me

Daniel Contreras I agree completely. I thought so when it first happened and when I saw the replay I was even more sure

[@Gymthingz]

Yea that was a half count. Smh

[@botaeng2]

Thought the same...

[@matthewlee8618]

Daniel Contreras no it’s pretty close but I’d say 2 if you expose your back in college which is extremely hard to do it’s gotta be fast. From our angle it looks like desanto was in the clear but he rolled over his head which means his back was still exposed through the roll through

[@justinsage121]

Quickest two points I’ve EVER seen

Exposure is points

[@cotyriggleman6383]

In both match it looks like seth gross has been the better wrestler for the first half and desanto the last half of the match. Hard wrestling seems to wear on seth gross in both matches. Be interesting to see what happens later in the year with game plans on both part side. And thanks BIG TEN Network for showing this for free.

[@victorpistone1073]

If I was Gross I would work on conditioning and handling the pressure, that's the only thing Desanto has is that huge gas tank and Savage pressure.

[@bigpoppa2149]

Coty Riggleman he literally got handled in the first and second half of the first match

[@billedwards2657]

Gross is a 125lber right now for the Olympic Year. That’s why he’s gassing against 133lbers

No, DeSanto will use the cry rule again and give him a breather.

[@tmt1675]

All these new rules and stoppages do not favor Iowa’s style lmao. Ten seconds for a break to check tape is like a year for a wrestler to get there wind back.

[@drewlawrence5289]

great match

[@jqths1974]

This was great 🔥🔥🔥🤼

[@IrulewithLucas]

Lmao any of y’all tryna say it wasn’t two are just looking for any excuse for DeSanto to not lose lmao He goes on his back at 1:26 and gets off at 1:28 It only looks like a fast count because there’s a lot of movement

[@JBell-zd8nf]

At 5:58 the ref should have started a danger count. Desanto was on his back grasping Gross' far ankle to defend the takedown. He broke 90 degrees for a whole 6 seconds. I know it's a newer rule, but it is a rule so they need to do a better job in enforcing it.

[@JBell-zd8nf]

Really bad 2nd stall call as well, that should have been an action call.

[@ericvogel9271]

What's a danger count?

[@dhonorable195]

FA Flick if you’re in neutral in a scramble position and one wrestler has their back exposed (breaking 90 degrees) for I believe a three count, a takedown is awarded.

[@conner474]

Always waiting to see how deSanto reacts after a loss.Seems to have grown up a bit .Very improved wrestler from last year.Gross is tough but i my money is on DeSanto to win it all this year
