174 LBS: #3 Michael Kemerer (Iowa) vs. #1 Mark Hall (Penn State) | 2020 B1G Wrestling

[@zack8267]

Shout out to Big Ten for posting these

[@davidpetersen9276]

Good match. Hats off to Hall there around the 2:45 Mark. He knows its a potentially dangerous position they just sorta ended up in after a scramble so instead of trying to crank on the arm he just holds it till the ref stops. A lot of sportsmanship there protecting his opponent.

[@steve874]

I was impressed with Mark's class there too.

Props to Kemerer..didn't think he could pull this one off.

Been watching Hall closely for 5 years and I’ve never seen anyone finish on him like this. Kemerer looks great at 174. The Big Tens should be amazing.

[@kckcmctcrc]

Gram, in the last year's 174 Championships ZV took down hall once...Kemerer just took him down 3 times and had another reversal. ZV is obviously great but I don't recall him dominating Hall like Kemerer just did. Time will tell with the rematch but wow, he looking pretty dang good.

Hall needs to continue to work on his offense. He's been better this year but he still needs more shot attempts IMO.

[@uc9218]

Kemerer continued to wrestle though every position, Hall wouldn’t. It looked like Kemerer simply wanted it more.

[@ajshovel1]

Couldn't agree more. Hall stopped wrestling, Kemmerer didn't. He deserved to win.

[@misterwonderful8628]

Up two weight classes and ....MAN! What an intelligent wrestler Kemerer is ...bracing that knee against better penetration, et. al. When he turned into the cross face I thought he'd get caked but a reversal came instead. Great take down near the end and the air twist and a frog out on that ankle pick...so smart. I thought he'd win but he outright dominated! I also thought Iowa would win by 7-11 points but what a squeaker it was. If you don't love this sport.....

[@danielbrizzi]

The energy in Carver Hawkeye is incredible. This is one of my favorite matches ever.

[@billoleary351]

Love in this match how when Mike scores one or more Hawks seem to charge the mat and then someone grabs them to stop them. It’s hysterical and would be a fun thing to keep doing

[@gmccloud]

Match of year so far!! Congrats Kemerer awesome

[@TJCapSix]

Kemerer is the real deal.

[@bhmbos]

What an awesome match this was: exciting with a lot of action. Both wrestlers are so strong, flexible and fast. In the end, Emerer was clearly the winner, but Hall was also a great opponent. As a 'neutral' European viewer I love to watch American wrestling: you have so many good and sportive competitors. I hope to see many of them competing in the Olympics this year.

[@karlsimmering460]

Definitely the duel of the year, maybe the match of the year.

The benefit of superior conditioning and trained to wrestle hard every second of every single position. To wrestle somebody so well coached and so well trained is an absolute nightmare if you begin wilting as Hall did.

Why is everyone making excuses for Hall based on his weight. He's a d1 athlete from a well off family in a well off program. He could bulk up to 197 if he wanted too. He's not malnutritioned. If he's small, that's his choice

Mark hall looks like a 141 or 149 wrestler, he needs to grow more for this weight class and for future olympics IMO

[@Cubanburrito305]

How can someone who's going to turn or already is 22 grow more??? He's been in the NCAA finals three times at 174, what's the difference now? Bo is another person who never even looked like his weight, especially 197 but made it happen so how he looks isn't the issue. Kremer showed him up hard plain and simple.

Imo this is the worst I’ve seen Mark Hall wrestle. Seemed to make more tactical errors like giving up a reversal at the end of the 1st along with that crazy double underhook hiptoss. He looked slow to react to Kemerer’s shots & didn’t wrestle through the position when he was in on his own attacks. I have a hard time seeing Hall lose to Kemerer again
