Thanks MW

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you, Chris!

[@westlondo3312]

Two great wrestlers and a great match. I think we all need to give thanks to the videographer for being such a professional and posting these wrestling matches for us to view and enjoy.

[@fwilliamcony28]

Great tool for recruiters from NCAA wrestling schools. These guys reside in NCAA Division One BIG Conference country with top wrestling programs like Penn State, Iowa and Nebraska. Big XII wrestling schools like OkSU and Iowa State are not that far either. NCAA Division Two also has some top wrestling programs at smaller schools. Regardless, most of these guys are NCAA wrestling-bound.

[@Todd-lx9du]

Dresden is the hardest worker in the room! He earns it all! Great athlete!

[@MCMXI1]

Vance is so smooth and graceful that even when he's heading for the L it looks like he's winning. Great match!

[@brody-Waikers]

What a great match!!

[@donw3912]

That was a great match by both!! It could have gone either way and it's great seeing them end the way they did. Great sportsmen for sure!!

[@Luchino]

Seems incredible that you can participate in this sport and not come away with injuries.

[@anoka114]

There are injuries but stepping off a curb, walking down a stairs. These folks are so well trained for the most.

[@ChrisMeller-jf8yw]

Thanks!

[@viceroyzh]

That was tight.

[@jonathanfoe1]

Intense match that could have gone either way!

[@rickminer7528]

Williams is such a tough kid. Just came up short on this one.

[@retroguy9494]

Well, when you consider that Williams was only a freshman here and Grimm was a junior, he didn't do too bad!

[@loganperry5167]

@@retroguy9494 appreciate the perspective

[@Donaldopato]

Great match men! 🎉

[@aitorsanz4577]

Me gusta este tipo de partidos porque se deja al luchador trabajar en el suelo. En Europa, en distintos países y de esta categoría, los árbitros no permiten tal acción y lo cortan enseguida con lo que la lucha es más monótona y "aburrida".

[@pierre2frostyy]

Yeah there is different styles this is folkstyle which emphasizes ground work and control of the opponent on the ground

[@TheClintb17]

Great match, well done to all. Cheers CB Australia 🇦🇺👍💪

[@mysticwanderer4787]

Great match between two evenly matched kids. Agree with some of the other comments about the coaches yelling but it's just part of the game. If were in charge the coaches would have to shut up and watch their kids wrestle. The same goes for parents. Most of the time the coaches are yelling at the kids to do something they are trying to do but can't because of what the other wrestler is doing to them. Still, this is a great sport!

[@niketoploho]

They are not a kids.

[@htimsid]

What? @@niketoploho

[@Lazurnyj]

They are two men, two warriors, not kids 😂😮

[@Wrestlingwiththejoneses]

What camera is being used to record this video??? Insane picture quality

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Let me know if you have any other questions after you've had a chance to read the camera details here: kzbin.infoUgkx0bz78690XN-ungZt5nNN0eoJC2oEg1e8

[@VictorSantos-sp2mp]

Awesome match!

[@fwilliamcony28]

Both wrestlers might be NCAA-bound to Champaign-Urbana or even a better BIG Conference wrestling program like Penn State or Iowa. Both are talented.

[@loganperry5167]

Great catch MW! thank you

[@BHGamble]

"Go to work, bread and butter" - ok, thanks for guidance coach.

[@MicaFarrierRheayan]

Exceptional match 🎉

[@kphensel]

I keep wanting to yell "SHUT UP and just let them wrestle!". LOL

[@paulenriquez8307]

I am so proud of these wrestlers! I am Krav Maga, but wrestling is amazing!

[@td7623]

Dresden worried more flexing and showing off in the end than he was finishing the match out right. I dislike a showboat.

[@Harry-racer]

lol I loved the flexing 😊

[@RichardTaylor1630]

Didn't bother me. He's justifiably pleased with his effort; why not express it?

[@philashton1469]

Geez that coach needs to shut up. Let the kids make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes. How can they concentrate on the match and making moves with that noise going on !!

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

Here's why they need to shut up. Both wrestlers can hear what is being shouted. If you know what your opponent is going to do next, you get ready for it. It's the reason that pitch com isn't broadcast to the whole baseball stadium, nor are football huddles miked. And if your opponent is skillful at countering your move, you can try to execute it all you want and, unless you are significantly stronger or faster than your opponent, in which case you don't need the coach to tell you play to your strength, you are not going to succeed.

[@chickenfarm09]

I remember Dresden grim

[@sammiev2828]

what are those pink shoes he got on ?

[@pablo03v]

3:11 wtf

[@anoka114]

What happened at 3:11 ?

[@ReddishNeck]

​@@anoka114He probably means how much the one fella keeps tapping the other fella on the head so many times.

[@Ghghg-j3j]

nice match 👍

[@j.macmillan2293]

Boy those guys are lean! Unlike the referees!

[@fwilliamcony28]

A wrestler's strict 24/7 diet is a big key to success.

[@RichardTaylor1630]

Oh, so you noticed that, too!

[@icantwait]

Impressive

[@SidneiAntoniodosSantos-e5v]

[@brianturner5848]

Wins the award for the most obnoxious coach...

[@Jeffersonkdeazevedo]

That was so close

[@СергейРазумовский-м3ц]

They don't want them to have broken ears. They put on protective headphones. Although in Russia some are proud of broken ears and even break the cartilage of the auricles on purpose.

[@anoka114]

Those aren't headphones! In the states those are called headgear.

[@DefensisIndus]

People wear broken ears as trophies here in USA too! It's a big deal 😂

[@darwinawardcommittee]

In Soviet Union, cartilage break you!

[@ケンケンくん]

大物同士の試合！感動した！

What about now since you have to much to say about her when she was injured in 2022 & 2023. But what about 2024 what do you have to say about it now? 4 in a row I guess she not that good hahaha.

[@stevemicahel8733]

That was more like mauling than wrestling,
