Ncaa is gonna be tight between these two

[@bennyc1581]

Hall is a great. But id like to see him more offensive. In this match like the NCAAs Zahid seems to be taking most of the shots

[@hupomeno9035]

well well well... if it isn't Mark "The Gift 2017" Hall

[@jasonswift9310]

Michael A the colored man is on the rise. 61kg Garrett, 70kg James Green, 74 kg JB,79 Kg 2019 Hall over Dake, 92kg Jden cox. Nuff said.

Valencia is gonna beat Hall in the tournament. Much better offensive than Hall. He's not afraid to go get it either.

[@dumpaloadddurmom3350]

M3NTALITY ya he makes mark hall wrestle and stays aggressive through the whole match

[@hevydeezee408]

Such a great match .....

[@raoke69]

At 1/2 speed it looked like the fake and duck Hall baited Valencia with worked as he got in and was about to go under the arm and take the back, but faster than Hall could accomplish that, Valencia recovered twice as fast. With Valencia's left arm under the leg and lowering his exposed right arm to counter the duck his level change was already in perfect position to engage. That reaction time is magic!

[@loganmcguire8317]

Good for Valencia. Not surprising since hall had no offense

[@xM3NTALITYx]

Just like the last match where he didn't do shit the whole time and sucked out a win.

[@jasonswift9310]

logan mcguire Hall was not 100% damm your dumb.

[@DVSPAZZ]

WELL DAMM

[@gilbertmendez2310]

when two wrestlers of similar caliber square off , the longer of the two wins the majority of matches.

[@zZinqTecz]

Gilbert Mendez Yes, many say being lengthy is bad for a wrestler but every top level lengthy guy always has a better chance against a less lengthy guy of similar talent. I see no advantage of being short and stocky.

[@daw162]

It's interesting how this has turned out as the year has gone by. Last year, valencia was just too much and too fast for hall. When he got ahead and hall pressed, it just made opportunities. Fast forward to this year, and hall wore him out riding to negate the length difference. It seemed set up for a great rubber match in the finals this year, but Daniel Lewis threw a wrench into it by pinning Valencia. Who knows what we'll get. Neither Valencia nor Hall seem to push the pace too much against good competition like Nickal, Nolf, Spencer Lee or Steveson do.

[@schloughed]

Hello this is Mark Hall I hate taking shots.

[@SameOlHim]

Damn...

[@austinburoff4872]

That was one of the most boring match's I've ever seen. Seemed like either wrestler was even remotely tired after the match.

[@mwalwynn]

The gods don’t tire easily. It was a great match.

[@samueltorres2485]

They are pretty evenly matched. Zahid just hustled more and was consistently offensive

[@fredpauser6228]

Hey Semfis, I've seen many boring matches but this was NOT one!! This was 2 VERY skilled wrestlers mostly countering each others attempts. That last scoring take down by Valentia and Hall's near counter to it was great wrestling by both. Totally a fun match to watch!
