[@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.

Daniel Contreras Thinking the same thing

[@markbailey3698]

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

[@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

[@craigfawcett5745]

Rivera actually won that match against him. He got super lucky and gassed out in that match too.

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

[@RomeroXVII]

Crazy match, what a stacked weight class.

[@Rollothemodel]

And it's crazy that lasy year's finalists took redshirt..imagine if they were still in it.

[@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.

[@milfdominator]

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.

[@aaronrider4051]

Second stall call in front of the Iowa bench was weak. DeSanto was obviously pushing Gross out of bounds.

[@theduder232]

Gross is very smart out there.

[@25albeezy]

Thanks for posting!!

[@victorpistone1073]

I'll bet anybody the next two matches gross's coaches will use injury time and challenges to get some lung recovery time in for Seth.

[@ogot344]

Victor Pistone yep it was obvious

[@markmccauley9895]

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

[@tristanheckert3470]

Dang if he doesnt sit back so fast with that cradle, he mightve pinned him or got 4

[@stephenoni2019]

well deserved win, sometimes you dominate, sometime you grind it out!

[@1414-n5y]

Why was that not a reversal? im confused... looks like control.

[@TisEsMe]

That cradle killed DeSanto

[@payton9815]

If you watch any match where desanto is put in a cradle he gets killed. Cries, fakes injuries, gives up, etc

[@fullmetta2764]

Shame we won't see how this weight class played out in the NCAAs in 2020.

[@Gymbrojeremy]

1. Should not have been a 2 count on the cradle. 2. Ref should not have made 1st stalling call. This whole match was a mess because of the ref....

[@bastionblackperformance3804]

You get shot out of bounds, its a stall call. Rules are rules

[@danielquiroz7466]

the first stall call was by the rule book u can't hang on the ankles too long

[@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.

Coty Riggleman well they did say he’s wrestling at 57kg for the Olympic trials during this match so it makes sense

[@JoseRodriguez-el7jq]

I haven't been keeping up with wrestling for reasons but I'm just saying he doesn't look healthy at 133 or the very least energetic especially if we're talking 125 but I anit here to argue or anything like that
