Nah that last take down was so disrespectful lmao

[@paulmousel7624]

McDermott was sooo asking for it

[@Twinkerson]

He should’ve slammed him harder

[@bbdl7042]

Ref should’ve shown shade by looking for the fall and callin the pin with just gables hands on his chest😂😂😂

[@dubstepgamer04]

Man trying to start a fight with him😂than gets body slammed

[@kenonoke1395]

Lol he was testing him lol I’m glad he Tx him

[@TheMadShredder]

I saw the other way around. Gable posted his elbow on his face after the whistle. Gable also pushed him first in referees pos6.

@@TheMadShredder he was just helping him get into referees position. the man had a plane to catch 😂

[@aronalvord]

Mcdermott messed up when he thought nudging Gable the beast was a good idea. You always have to hold your own...but don't help fire up #1 without a spare tank of gas when he goes beast mode

[@martinoconnor3020]

Wow. That was handled perfectly by Steveson.

[@mp1735]

Gable definitely matured

[@wockstar7280]

i love watching gable wrestle such a timid guy who will body slam you even if you try to fight him

[@pocketssmith5933]

Yea he definitely isn't timid

[@stephenoni2019]

Steveson is another level

[@ScroogeyTheGod]

Beat him bad and didn’t even acknowledge the dirty cheap shots. Gable is an inspiration.

[@x2dab184]

McDermott was very unsportsmanlike. Take your loss. Work hard and you won't look like such a chump

[@612osiris]

Steveson did a pretty good job at handling it.

[@dwaynej2377]

Agreed as an RU guy

[@fooni7400]

Hope they beat the snow out. He handled that quickly and well. Just started watching Gable Steveson but from what I’ve seen looks like he’s matured a lot since his freshman yr

[@TheMadShredder]

You guys didn't see Gable provoke McDermott each time? The push in referees position, the elbow after the whistle?

[@masonfrost264]

@@TheMadShredder Neither of those were close to bad. Steveson stayed on him because the refs were still counting the points and hadn't blown the whistle yet. If McDermott didn't like it maybe he should have been more physical.

[@OGSmush32]

What a Gangster move!

[@etk4423]

McDermott was the same way to Darrell Mason at the finals at NJCAA. The guy got a taste of his own medicine.

[@crsxp1]

I came straight to the comments when I saw McDermott push Steveson

[@sweeterscience83]

Don’t spit into the wind. Don’t tug on super man’s cape. Don’t mess around with Gable.

[@MrOhyea92]

Omg mcdermott with the steal chair hahaha he did everything except throw dirt in stevenson's eyes and paid for it every time

[@nitrox1613]

Stevenson could literally eat this dude if he wanted to 😂

[@tdavidg9176]

McD was stuck at edge of circle with 1:06 left. Ref must have been blind.

[@daveross9373]

If he does decide to get into mma , he’s gonna make some serious noise

[@CalebDiT]

The club was provoked, really. Steveson was resting on McDermott's face after the last whistle. It's all part of the game, of course.

[@jammer2.036]

McDermit looked like a classless bum

[@TheOlFlat5]

Gable broke him

[@Yesssqueen]

Without doing anything... Speaks leagues

[@wwpmd]

Fun match lol

[@andreekyllerstrom8782]

are they allowed to pull the fingers like that? 0:59

[@stanf9898]

Even though he was winning by criteria, did he not "technically" pin McDermott there at the end?? (Takedown to back and held him there with both shoulders on the ground.)

[@masonlillard3398]

He already got the tech fall after the takedown so the refs called the match instead of letting them wrestle through the position.

[@mtkimbrell]

Yeah should have been a pin. Back points are not awarded until they clear the danger position. If the pin point was needed the Minnesota coach would have protested the outcome.

[@majorcheese2345]

Who won? I’m so confused

[@r.platnum3431]

That club might not have been the best idea... 😂

[@bigheadgang904]

nobody like gable bruh😂 they can’t stop him

[@tbear2852]

Gable is such a stud!! If it was possible would love to see Gable ,Lesnar ,and Conrad wrestle to see who is the baddest heavyweight at Minnesota Has the rules change with running off the mat without shaking opponents and celebrating?

[@rickhaavisto9023]

Because of COVID, no handshakes... The running off the mat really was because they had to get back as quick as possible...

[@letsssgooo4618]

Gable destroys Lesnar for sure. Conrad was really good but I think he beats him pretty easy too.

[@peterw.1997]

Lesnar was terrible. He was jacked on roids his whole college career. And he was terrible in high school.

[@letsssgooo4618]

Gable isn’t that guy lol. You don’t mess with him. Looked like he had him pinned honestly.

[@foenem5210]

He gone cry in the car.

[@jarrellfields9533]

Not required to shake hands anymore?

[@Montylyte285]

Nope. COVID!!

[@bishop6198]

Demolished lmao

[@subpardreams]

that's how you wrestle a chippy lil boy

[@timothywoods4329]

It’s crazy how everyone acting like Gable wasn’t the one being extra. Boone got handed a fat L, but he was just reacting to Gable trying to provoke him.

[@Beastzz77]

Go watch tennis and be quiet

[@nuttinbedder2do70]

Yes Gable pushed him with his left hand before the elbow and Gable gave him a little extra at every turn. Rutgers was good push back but had to pay.

[@eclipsewrecker]

There are refs there.

[@nuttinbedder2do70]

@@eclipsewrecker yes there are but nobe if it rose to a level of a penalty. I wasn't wanting a penalty nor do I believe Timothy Woods was saying that. It is just an observation. Did you not notice it?

[@seanredman5311]

Lol. 😂😂😂😂

[@behelpful1435]

Gable acting like a punk in this match (along others) 2:26 pushes him to provoke his opponent 5:05 posts his forearm and weight on Boone's face low quality human behavior. not what wrestling or any sport needs.

This is wrestling not touch football. I was fine w both of there behavior. Gable is killing him. Rut making sure he keeps fighting.👍👍

[@implexitykyuubi]

What? lol

[@mookie449]

@@implexitykyuubi trust me , Steveson is fine in a sport with rules. Street fight and McDermott would destroy him. He'd run away rather than get punched in the face.
