The guy on the mic sounds like he's never followed wrestling though.

We'll see--I think Morgan has more experience in freestyle than you're giving him credit for. Not calling him a world champ any time soon, but I think he'll be competitive at a tourney like this.
I completely missed Ceron's match, but he won 11-0 in 1:36, and gets Gwiz next.

Well I think we can temper our enthusiasm a bit for a guy who hasn't wrestled competitively in 5ish years. This isn't quite the world championships which is the level I am really talking about, but even with his early career freestyle chops he likely has a long way to go. I would not put him near David, Zain or Nolf's level by any stretch, and look how long it took them to get there.

Bracket is so small, he's already in the semis, which will start later (not exactly sure when).
Ceron held tough early, but lost to Gwiz 0-10
Desanto in an interesting match vs. Ukrainian Vaysenko. Lot's of saviness from Vaysenko, had him up 4-3 in the 2nd, but Austin looked to score several points late, after a long pause, all of which were waived off for to me, unknown reasons. Then Vaysenko scores. 6-3, And Austin gets a stepout and late TD, but loses on criterea. Ukraining celebrating like he won worlds.

Desanto pulled the Ukrainianians singlet on the td they let to the exposures. It was right in front of the camera.
Nick Lee on to the finals. Marinelli and DeSanto lose in semifinals.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
(Sorry for the shade on Alex and Austin; just not feeling the warm and fuzzies for anything Iowa right now.)

Nice win by Morgan. Wish he would’ve shot more though because when he took that shot at the end of the match he converted pretty easily
Messenbrink is impressing me more and more. He just lost a close 2-1 bout where he pushed the pace like crazy and just couldn’t find a td. His opponent though was Andreasyan from Armenia who was just 5th at the 2022 worlds where he lost 5-0 to Zain and 5-5 criteria to Iakobishvili. Very tough guy and Messenbrink was right there. I’m very interested to see how he does this year in folkstyle. His pace is definitely going to break a lot of guys that is for sure
Nick Lee loses 14-4. Not often you see Nick lose upper body exchanges and he lost 3 of them all for 4 point’s each
Nick was determined to get that inside trip. Didn't work out....
Schultz beat Morgan 6-6. Not a bad first day back, though I wish he could’ve had more matches.
