Flow and Big Ten Network needs to take some tips from Midwest Wrestle video quality. The close action gives such a better feel for the intensity and athleticism of the wrestlers. Great job!

[@MidwestWrestle]

What an incredible compliment. Thank you, David!

[@jackfntwist]

Agreed. These tighter shots of the action make this sport amazing to watch. If they changed the format they could really elevate the sport to top level for spectators.

Man the sequence and filming starting at 7:33 is so amazing! Felt like something out of an action movie. Kudos to the wrestlers and the cameraman. Keep up the great work!

[@MidwestWrestle]

I appreciate that feedback so much. Thank you, Omar!

[@ddhsd]

Agree good intensity and super sharp,focused on the action videography!

[@jackfntwist]

Really good match. One of the best I've seen.

[@bryanduchane2371]

Kid from IL was impressive.....

[@jessem_i31]

He gave Jesse Mendez a very tough match a couple of weeks ago. Looks like he's currently ranked 4th at 133.

Lucas Byrd is an animal. Plus with Isaiah Martinez back in the illini wrestling room too I’m expecting big things from Byrd and the rest of the illini this season and seasons coming.

[@joebags6940]

And thanks for posting, incredible quality!

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you,@@joebags6940.

[@rparl]

Lots of running for the border. At one point they almost intruded on an adjacent pair. Is that a tactic? Leave the outer ring when you're struggling?

[@jamesexploringonline872]

Good wrestler Lucas's Byrd

[@chickenfarm09]

Red seemd uncomfortable in his singlet, and he also seemed to like to do a lot of head/neck slapping. I didn't like the aggression with this match. I mean they're supposed to wrestle, but at some point it looked like a slapping match or fighting with arms

[@its.ish.]

It’s just hand fighting, really important especially at the college level for creating angles, wearing him down and controlling ties.

[@brooks5895]

@@ulpetzmaznat1366 why did the ref blow the whistle right after that?

[@MidwestWrestle]

@@brooks5895 Primarily because time in the period had expired (you can tell because he flips the disc for choice of position in the second period), but also to warn them about the borderline unnecessary roughness.
