Carter Starocci MAJORS Fellow NCAA Champ Mekhi Lewis

[@GuyFromSC]

Carter showed there’s levels to this game. And he’s on his own level by himself. Go ahead and give him the Hodge now bc that dude ain’t losing anyone this season. 🙏🏼

[@bv6377]

what is loosing

[@francostacy7675]

I agree, but I thought that about Spencer Lee last year

[@Auxz]

@@francostacy7675Spencer wasn’t wrestling healthy, Carter is. But you’re right there’s always an opportunity for an upset.

[@aldrob108]

Carter brings it every second of the match. Pressure, Pressure, Pressure!

[@sully6172]

That first period was the finest defensive wrestling I've ever seen.

One man was trained to win. Another man was trained not to lose.

[@traviscoleman9520]

Mekhi handled a Penn State great, Vincenzo Joseph, for his lone title. Crazy to think how good Carter is if he can do this to Mekhi.

[@suspiciousneighbor4799]

Lewis is one weight up but he’s huge so I don’t think it’s much of a difference

[@Retics]

Mekhi hasn't gotten better it seems. The year he won, nobody took him down coming into the finals. And he had a run on the international scene.. that person is gone

[@Kenneth-tz4sx]

I guess we were watching a different match. Joseph got caught being sloppy reckless and he paid with points. But he didn't get handled. I saw the same thing happen to Spencer and he ended up counting lights. No matter how good you are, you can never be reckless.

[@michaelgraf4612]

​@@ReticsYou have to wonder if all the injuries have taken their toll. Wrestling is brutal

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

Starocci (3 timer) > Mekhi Lewis (1 timer) > Joseph (2 timer) > Isiah martinez (2 timer). Hard not to think in an average weight class that Mekhi is not a 3 timer

[@sakurabahfan]

Starocci's cardio breaks people. Relentless shooter.

[@koolhandduke4087]

Carter Starocci with big pressure and a dominant win over former NCAA champion and #2 ranked Micha Lewis spells trouble for every body @ 174. Def a statement win.

[@DudeslyGames]

Starocci is so crazy. Bro was shooting like he was boutta lose the match with 10 seconds left while up by 7.

[@Gymthingz]

People in the comments are part of the softer generation. Wrestling has never been a nice sport. It’s physical and mean.

[@bv6377]

only two dummies so far

[@HillyBill38548]

Wade Schalles had a video series called Legal Pain. The whole point was put so much discomfort and pain on your opponent that they want to get pinned or quit

[@mewtationnation3554]

Carter is absolutely relentless. He just keeps attacking and bringing endless pressure. His cardio is insane. Guy is very fun to watch!

[@stetsonstarkey]

This guy has to be the favorite for the Hodge at this point. If this is really his number two matchup at this weight, it's by far the most free weight

[@DB-115]

Hwt as well.

[@nate_too_much]

Lewis is legit carter is just that good

[@stetsonstarkey]

@@nate_too_much Lewis is a massive fraud. He's living off the memory of 4 years ago. He even admitted in an interview that he just lacks the desire

[@MrSilus2000]

@@nate_too_muchIt’s a LONG season. This match isn’t the final match. 😂

[@markchandler7089]

The bow and arrow with the toe is covered is dangerous. Official was on top of it. They will need to watch this the way they watched Spencer Lee's arm bars.

[@chrisreetz4117]

Mekhi has not wrestled freely & aggressive since his freshman year .

[@GosalFam]

I really wish someone would let him get healthy. I haven't seen him without a knee brace in years...

[@AnthonyQuevedo]

This match reminds me of Bo Nickal vs Myles Martin

[@Gymthingz]

It would be, if he won or had a fighting chance.

[@jaxchristian3080]

Not even close. Maybe the 2nd match?

[@andycayton3433]

I wish he'd come back to try for 5, but he's already said he won't. However, being the only one in history would be something

[@AaronCatalano-r5n]

Olympics then UFC.

[@AlwaysAlpha88]

Carter looks completely dialed in and i think he will win his fourth, but lets not forget just last year! Both Spencer and RBY who i believe had the two longest undefeated streaks both lost defending their title and going for number 4 and 3 respectfully. Or Otoole losing too Carr twice during the year then putting it all together when he had too! Literaly anything can happen and as I'm sure you all know wrestling is the one sport where just one mistake can literally cost you everything, but that is also what makes it so great!

[@kdaze10]

Im a penn state fan, but man...i felt for mekhi...he was in such obvious pain during this match. I wonder if it would have been a little closer if he wad healthier? Who knows....carter is on another level....

[@adamfowler350]

If Starocci had a better attitude, he would easily be one of my favorites.

[@MrSilus2000]

He’s a college student not a playing card you collect

[@Gymthingz]

Bro, he be like this since a teen. It’s what the best people do

[@TNTWARRIOR31]

Carter is on a whole other level, the only person that can beat Carter this year is Carter, doubtful he takes anybody lightly or takes his foot off the pedal.

[@88jeebs]

Or an injury. Let's hope he's healthy enough. Rematch in the quarters.

[@shahnguffy4790]

Most excellent Starocci!

[@michaellindsey3682]

Very impressive but the commentators need more help in their verbiage use. Action was from the start of the match. Fantastic performance

[@REALenvizible]

Penn states never has issues with their gas tank.

[@zackw1340]

4 years ago people were thinking Mekhi Lewis was the next 4 timer after what he did to Vincenzo. Crazy how penn state excels!

[@JonSmith-oy4bi]

Wrestling is a combat sport, there’s a fine line between wrestling mean and intentionally injuring someone

[@timlangenderfer7746]

Mekhi looked like he got hurt or tweaked something.

[@markheffelfinger9677]

no he’s just a chump

[@AvaBenish-ir2sm]

Carter already had a bad right knee with it being wrapped so it was injured previously i qould assume.

[@joeyfung-i]

BIG gap between one and two….. Carter is a freak and will be something else post wrestling

[@Jaaaa-z1p]

How tall is Carter

[@jaehoon2142]

4:22 I think Lewis suffered an ACL knee injury

[@victorpistone1073]

Proof as to why you should work on your speed explosiveness and strength as much as your technique. There were no secret moves in that match. Just power and explosiveness.

[@xzjayz7925]

Did Mekhi take a single shot?

[@AKFloorcare]

dang it why put who wins in the title

[@gosiahodge3462]

Can PSU get some of these guys on the football team...

[@unclebubba5584]

😮 I never expected this match to be like this! Amazing wrestling by these young mean.

[@kckcmctcrc]

Just a suggestion… please don’t provide the outcome of the match in the description.

[@jamescampbell1125]

Until Lewis develops offense to go with his great defense he want get to the top!

[@willisknapick4405]

Surprised to see that actually. He wasn't doing anything on offense. Different than when he wrestled Cenzo. Or so it seems.

[@jaxchristian3080]

Mekhi obviously injured hasn’t been the same since he won his title. Starocci way ahead of Mekhi.

[@kristianris976]

i think moving up a weight class was a mistake

[@markheffelfinger9677]

faked injury

[@genghiskhan7041]

It was pretty close until the end of the 2nd period. I don't think this was a super beatdown or anything, but Starocci is definitely improving quicker than Lewis.

[@markheffelfinger9677]

um what match did you watch?

[@YUNG_CARL063]

Give bro the Hodge now!

[@88jeebs]

I think that's why he was so upset about not wrestling Big10s. He wanted that Hodge.

[@gianpolignano2632]

Has Lewis regressed since he won his title?

[@kristianris976]

I think going up a weight class wasnt a good move for him. Guys at 174 are just as strong as him, his strength is still an advantage at 174 but it was greater at 165

[@Matthew-m3b]

WOW 😱

[@Riz019]

I’m all for pure dominance and relentless , I’m not for purposely hurting an opponent. That turq was way past legality and to do it on his wrapped knee is just beyond screwed. It’s a game at the end of the day

[@Gymthingz]

He wanted to put a beating on him. If he didn’t want that, he’s gonna have to try harder.

[@Gymthingz]

@@superobotmonkey bruh, you saying not to do a move. Because a knee is wrapped.
