Congrats Gregor. He just TKO'd Diego Ferreira.

[@dathangarfield379]

Gillespie - one of the great wrestlers from Section 5.

Some may think this match is boring...but neither guy stalled and these guys are as good as it gets.

[@robertogonzalez4902]

That match was super exciting!

[@travisbishop2928]

wrestling was big back then but nows its bigger glad to see the crowds are bigger nowadays and the sport itself is getting bigger each year.

I came back to watch this match after watching a documentary on FloWrestling abt Gregor Gillespie. The season he won this national title, he was abusing prescription drugs and alcohol! Imagine how good he would've been had he lived a clean healthy lifestyle. We maybe talking him winning multiple national titles.

[@holdencawffle626]

GG comes from along line of alcoholics so it's really in his DNA

[@tmt1675]

Hell of a fight from a balls deep perfect shot in OT! All heart & never thought about cashing in for a second!

Jarrod King vs Andrew Howe

[@michaelbradley7621]

Churrella got robbed of a title twice by officials. The match with Johnny hendri a year before this was way more egregious though.

[@stuartpappas7658]

I wish the referee would have been quiet he was talking way too much. Wasn't really necessary

[@anthonydelgrosso4818]

Cry baby

[@holdencawffle626]

That's his job, to talk

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

Ref was talking way too much

[@tmt1675]

Stalled and died on a leg for wayyyyy too long in the beginning of that third must be before the rule change that was bad

[@holdencawffle626]

Stalling green ALL DAY!

[@Bryce12247]

Can anyone explain to me why gregor went to a school like Edinboro I had to look it up I thought it was a school in Europe

[@larrycarol6693]

They have had top 10 teams in past. Finished high as 2 or 3 within last 7-8 years or so. They have had way more then a handful of NCAA Div 1 champs. Program has slacked off last few years.

[@jcud3842]

They have had many all Americans there coach was an Olympian as well as the directorwhy not ?

[@holdencawffle626]

His idol is josh koschek, a Boro standout wrestler

[@Stewhoney]

Good match, but they just stall and flee the mat anytime the other gets aggressive

[@jt519]

Definitely, wrestlers now are more aggressive and offensive.

[@ianshue2890]

JT I disagree, I actually think that most wrestlers today are more cautious and calculated than they need to be, the only wrestler I’ve seen today that isn’t afraid to shoot is Zahid Valencia, Jordan Burroughs, Jason Nolf, and David Taylor. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying in my opinion I think that wrestlers have gotten more careful over the years. Please don’t take this as an offense, if you read this

[@xenonmaster6668]

9:45 if you pause that was a takedown but there wasn’t review. If they had challenge bricks and official/challenge review Josh Churella would’ve won the championship I’m sure!

[@iceman2515]

I had the exact same thought! I watched and rewatched that part several times and there is no way it was not a takedown. Pretty bad call there.
