70 Kg Round 3 - Zain Retherford, Nittany Lion WC - TMWC Vs Jordan Oliver, Sunkist Kids WC

[@teddyvincent4833]

Two outstanding wrestlers. Congrats to Zain. Smattering of boos from the crowd are BS. He won fair and square.

[@chun1822]

JO looked gassed towards the end but thats a bs call for zain hanging on to JOs leg. Bad call by ref.

[@Ur2ez4me81]

What was bs about it? Zain got him on a step out & before Zain realized he got awarded the point Jordan popped him two or three times. Glad Jordan lost the match, Zain was the better wrestler.

[@tannermarriott8903]

it didn't even really matter. no chance JO gets the fleeing point at the end if Zain was only up one.

Wrestling is full contact. You gotta swallow that whistle. You just let a ref decide the world team on a basketball call

[@notmyname1038]

true but still bullshit. score could have easily been 3-3

[@smoore8]

[@michaelswick4251]

It’s not UFC. Sorry but there’s a different sport for that kind of contact.

Dude is holding his leg for 5 seconds after the whistle, Zane is lucky to not catch an uppercut! Terrible call

Grounded is the stupidest rule

Points for stepouts is the "stupidest rule". This isn't Sumo.

Ya it is Jordan should of never lost to chance it's so stupid

[@odstp1tv1pr37]

A lot of people real mad about the point awarded after the first step out. Seems to me that JO pulled on his head while ref blew whistle and after the point was awarded. JO started tapping at Zajn immediately and then did it twice more. And he was already called out by the ref for it. And JO was going hands to face in the first 15 seconds of the match. JO made 2 bad decisions and it cost him his shot at worlds.

[@stephenoni2019]

just win. i hate the boos during these; he's going to represent the US for goodness sake, shoudlt you cheer for the winner regardless?

[@Ur2ez4me81]

Oliver & his fans were never good sports. Years back when Tony Ramos beat Oliver his mom was on Facebook telling people to check his green card & then went after the ref.

[@rotisseriebear5394]

Should have been one for JO, because Zain wouldn't let go of the leg. It looked to me that Zain started the club game, then pulled some Lebron tears over getting it right back. I don't want to see the fake drama in wrestling, and I definitely don't want to see i.e. being rewarded.

[@pjp9840]

Lets not get carried away here. No one pulls Lebron tears like Lebron..

JO deserves that because in round 2 he ran away for 45 seconds straight. he deserves the L

[@BrickedUpBuilds]

Respect Zane train. But man that initial 1 &1 was such bullshit. Wouldn’t let go of the leg and bitching about clubbing yet he is doing the exact same thing. Give the fans another match and don’t let the ref decide who wins. If I wanted the ref to decide I would watch the NFL

[@therealmrbusinessman3802]

The watch th NFL this isn't football

[@lawrencemetzger4678]

It was the 3rd shove from Oliver after zain did let go of the leg that cost him the point. Am I surprised about zain being given a point, yes, but is it bullshit, not really. 100% a judgment call, can't lose your cool and give the ref that chance to tag u.

[@Ur2ez4me81]

That wasn’t clubbing what Jflop did that was more like a elbow to the jug which could make someone pass out. Lol give him another match? Zain won 2 out of 3 he’s the better wrestler bud. Also Oliver pushed him twice before he realized he was awarded the step out, look where the ref was standing. Hard spot to see the ref award him his step out points. JO & his crowd nothing but trash booing the winner after the match…

[@rconn4501]

Either grounded or step out points should be eliminated from freestyle!

[@Ur2ez4me81]

You can literally just tie up with somebody & just push them out of bounds. It’s like Sumo wrestling when you really think about it.

[@rconn4501]

@@Ur2ez4me81 right. Can't stand that!

[@tannermarriott8903]

you either have to have a step out or a subjective stalling call.

Zane won on a bs call. Shoulda been 3-3 at the end if they didn’t gift him a phantom point out of bounds

[@aidenjaxlol]

To win off a bs point. Sad.

[@gabeg4427]

I though JO won... without the blshit point in the beginning, that would've made JO win at the end with criteria

[@jackmcg0]

Zain wouldn't have wrested the same, especially at the end if JO would've won by criteria. Zain wouldn't have given up a caution if JO would've won because of it.

[@broheme8922]

Zain wouldn't have been running at the end if it was a 1 pt match. So, no.

[@pauldarling330]

Ref also gave JO a completely unearned free point with 10 seconds left. JO ran away for the entire last minute of their 2nd match and Zain didn't get shit.

Zane is awful.
