i honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry. if the boyz blew a brick in challenging the timing i'll laugh
Gabe is closing the gap. Next time he'll be able to hold him down for 5 seconds.
Arnold goes down. Honestly I’m rooting for him. He comes across as a team player.
Why didn't the guy again Feldman just stall for 5 secs? Up 2. did he have 2 stall calls already?
Arnold's defense is other worldly, but his offense is a dumpster fire.o
It was like Kevin Hart trying to hold down the rock
action taking place on 8 mats, and ESPN2 decides to interview Tan Tom. smh
He's a great kid. Hate his wrestling style.

I don't know how he can't figure out no offense is going to kill him. It's laughable when a kid goes hard for 20.sexonds because time is running out. Do that in the first 3 periods

Tom was probably following him around like a puppy dog.

My God. Ferrari vs Rasmussen is nearly unwatchable, and they won't shut up about AJ.
Hawks is a wimp. He never could’ve outfought Sonny. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.
hey Cole we’re trying to get bonus points here guy
Mirasola gives up a TD with 3 sec left, wiping out the MAJ.
13-7, DEC, for Mirasola
smh
13-7, DEC, for Mirasola
smh
OK, not the end of the world, but really?
Taken down with like 3 secs left. He looked spent.
That seemed like a lazy last 10 seconds on Mirasola’s part.
Cole looked like he was gassed about midway through the 2nd period. I don't know how he didn't finish that double in the 2nd.
He looked gassed from the end of the second period when he couldn’t convert that takedown. He looked really really tired.
Mr. Quarter Squats has my rooting interests flipped around. I want Feldman to hang around the winners bracket long enough to take out Splits
Give credit to the Duke wrestler. He had the better gas tank.That seemed like a lazy last 10 seconds on Mirasola’s part.
My guess is he’s struggling with the cut.
That double and a few other shots where he got stuck underneath wore him out.
Barket didn't do alot but he was well conditioned. I thought Cole looked tired at the end.
I swear, ever since his last match, he doesn't seem the same.
