Fargo National Champ Nasir Bailey vs Texas State Champ Kade Moore

Mid Summer Mat Bash - 7/31/21

[@heidikalin2753]

Great feature in recent Amateur Wrestling News about Nasir Bailey and Little Rock's wrestling program.

[@AntiPattern328]

Good match!! Great wrestling by both guys. Moore looks like he may have worked his bottom escape game a bit more. Great job to both! That's the kind of wrestling that makes both better! Just glad the ADULTS didn't start interfering in such a great match! That was definitely fun to watch 2 such talented kids!!!!

[@billybud9557]

Very quick reaction time on the part of Moore. Blocked stand-up with instant cradle. well done.

[@Garu99.]

#1 ranked Pound for pound in Texas too

[@TonyTarantinoo]

Some good wrestling on both sides, red had a nasty throw by in the end to seal the deal

[@lugcastillo]

Good match but they were not equals at all. The kid in blue was stronger but the kid in red was a much better technical wrestler, and it showed. In the end technique always wins.

[@schloughed]

Is there any way to mute the parents?

[@MooreUToob]

You can’t hear either set of parents in this video. Do you mean the spectators?

[@schloughed]

@@MooreUToob Sure

[@victorpistone1073]

Bailey needs to work primarily on his conditioning. He was hanging pretty well, but you could see him fade even at the end of the first due to Moores pressure wrestling style. Moore kinda looked like a Brands brother tough hard nosed pressure style.

[@heidikalin2753]

Good comment, but this bout was a long time ago.

[@michaelking9562]

Let see whose career goes the distance

[@MooreUToob]

Hopefully both! Kade is at Mizzou this year, Nasir has a ton of options (I believe he commited to NC? Can't remember for sure). Both have very bright futures.

[@kevinb1729]

Honestly to me it was a bit boringû. I know when you have 2 top tier wrestlers 🤼‍♂️ like these 2 young men. Matches get rather boring slow an methodical! Waiting for that opportunity to pounce Wrestler in blue had “TERRIBLE” bottom movement on the whistle. He just sat there, no explosion no nothing! No question it was a good match. Matches like these are won off of simple basic mistakes. I’d bet on any given day the results would flip flop with these 2 wrestler if it hasn’t already? Very good match! Kudos to both Gladiators!

[@steventhury8366]

Cade Moore reminds me of Carey Kolat. Anybody else think that?

[@jgamer69420]

So nobody gonna talk about the locking hands on the final takedown

[@MooreUToob]

You're allowed to lock hands on a takedown. There's a reaction time awarded after the takedown before you have to let go. That time wasn't even needed here as they were going out of bounds for the takedown.

[@Milkywayboy]

My high school wrestling coach’s last name was Moore

[@letsssgooo4618]

Oob’s rules are terrible.

[@binnybrand2563]

What part of the country is this? People all over the mat with flip flops on???? Kids bare feet just walking freely

[@MooreUToob]

It was a summer dual tournament in Texas, smaller venue. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed.

[@binnybrand2563]

@@MooreUToob RELAXED? YOU GOT 2 OF THE TOP WRESTLERS IN THE COUNTRY ON THE MAT ONE COMING OFF FARGO AND YOU GOT KIDS ALL OVER THE MAT JUST RUNNING FREE AND KIDS ALL AROUND THE MAT LIKE A WRESTLE OFF IN PRACTICE THATS TERRIBLE . THAT DONT HAPPEN IN JERSEY

[@MooreUToob]

@@binnybrand2563 Yeah, off-season and all that. The match was really fun to watch - it would have been amazing at a bigger venue/tournament. The small ones can be fun too though.

[@schloughed]

@@binnybrand2563 Neither does proper English.

[@binnybrand2563]

@@schloughed Don't try insulting me it don't work. How did you understand improper English is what yo need to be concerned with and why you replied to it more importantly

[@tooshifty3350]

How’s Bailey a National champ he can’t even get out from bottom

[@MooreUToob]

Maybe his opponent was tough on top?

[@gabe5131]

freestyle and folk are way different

[@braydengibson2458]

The junior high wrestling rolls don’t work in Indiana😂

[@mattellis2831]

But they work against a top five kid in the country. Makes sense.

[@lovebug8144]

indiana hahahahaha

[@james6208]

That’s a granby roll not some “jr high wrestling roll”

[@TH-fn6bg]

A granby is a move taught in junior high but you can practice one move a 1,000,000 or 1,000,000 moves one time which one do you think will work better.

[@JulianDayZ]

@@TH-fn6bg Nah the guy is wrong, you see collegiate athletes hit grambis all the time, and guess what? they work!!!! This dude just doing the "mY stAtE wREstLEs bETteR thaN yOUr stAtE" thing.

[@ryanlawn8541]

every person there cheered for the white kid

[@MooreUToob]

He was the underdog... Nasir Bailey is a top ranked wrestler nationally, and was fresh off a Fargo National Championship before this match. Kade is a long-time Texas wrestler and had a lot of local support there.

[@MooreUToob]

Also... Kade isn't white.

[@patrickclark7714]

Way to see racism where racism doesn't exist. Kids wrestled their ass off and you wanna be "that guy".

[@jesusrojas5628]

Who doesn't cheer for the underdog gtfo. Kade what ever race he is showed grit against a really good ranked opponent

[@advancedchiropractic667]

You sound like the racist because someone does not cheer for the black kid. Professional victim here.

[@Basichomelife]

Lol Kade is some where saying he placed 4th at nccas I beat him lol

[@MooreUToob]

nah, Kade has lots of respect for Nasir. Hopefully they'll get more chances to compete next year too.
