U.S. Open Championships April 23rd-27th
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
Dreshaun techs Richard Thomas 14-1 in about 5:50. Was a slower match than normal for Dreshaun. Thomas weighed in at 270 lbs and I think that
Ronnie loses to Anthony Knox 14-4. The difference was par terre and Knox is very high level. Ronnie did good to get a takedown and nearly a second one where he got 2 for exposure. On that sequence where Ronnie scored, they also hit him for fleeing and he had to start down in par terre and that was it.

Bo Bassett just lost to Luke Stanich 5-2 in an absolute war. Bassett's pace and ties are crazy it melts almost everyone. Impressive stuff for Stanich

Robideau’s fight spoke volumes as to what kind of wrestler he’s going to be. Was just relentless to the end. Duke is going to be PSU’s next hammer
PJ Duke Is a special talent. Robideau is going to be really really good
Coby Merrill (Cody’s little bigger brother) looked really good against Koy Hooke. Interested to see him and Ross
I agree. Duke looked to have a signicant size advantage as well.
Cole Mirasola beat Michael Mocco 9-6. Mirasola was down 6-5 and would've lost on criteria in a tie, and he got a very clutch takedown with seconds to go (plus a point for Mocco fleeing and another for a lost challenge I believe).
I asked a question about 2-3 months ago and no one could give me an answer. It was an issue I had w/ FS rules and point scoring so I said if I saw if I see it occur again in a match, I would bring an example to the forum. In the Merrill/Tompkins match, they were scrambling. Tompkins’ back exposed for 2pts at the 2:20ish minute mark. Then, at the 2:30 mark, Merrill gets control, w/ no points awarded? It was 3pts prior to the exchange and 5 pts after. Why did he get 2pts for the back exposure and but not 2 pts for the takedown? When I brought this up, as an example of rules in freestyle I didn’t like, no one knew what I was talking about. Please, someone explain to me why this happened.
Dreshaun beats Coby Merrill 3-2. Dreshaun got put on the clock twice to Merrill's once. Dreshaun got a takedown with about 40 seconds left and that sealed it.
Zinkin beats Tommy Wurster 6-1.
Zinkin beats Tommy Wurster 6-1.
Ross got the only TD and won by 3-2, both points of Coby are Shot clock points.
Ross gets the win over Merrill by getting a takedown when he was behind 2 to 1 with all the points on passivity. Real nice win with a clutch single leg takedown.
I thought he looked much bigger also but his strength and speed was too much for Robideau. Landon never quit and did get a takedown near the end of the match. Hopefully it was because Landon figured something out and not because Duke slid into neutral.
I want to second this question. Another set of scenarios….Scenario 1: wrestler 1 secures a takedown (+2pts), establishes position then rolls through with a high gut (+2pt). Scenario 2: from
neutral, wrestler 1 rolls his opponent through with a head pinch (+2pts), then posts the head and goes behind for a takedown (+0pts). Why is the takedown worth points in one scenario and not the other?
Zinkin beats Shamus Regan 8-5.
Villasenor techs Miklo Hernandez 11-0 in about 0:47.
Zinkin and Villasenor will meet for 3rd.

Ronnie loses to Mack Mauger 5-3. Was down 3-1 late, got a takedown, but then gave up a reverse in the last couple seconds to make it 4-3. Ronnie challenges it and call is changed to make it 2 red and 2 blue instead of 2 and 1.
Ronnie takes 4th at 57kg.

Ramirez slept walked thru that match and earned that loss. He has wrestled a lot of matches in 2 days.
Wow! What a match!
Zinkin wins it 8-7 over Villasenor. Zinkin scored the decisive takedown in the waning seconds. Tons of activity at the end of a long tournament. Props to both young men.
