165: #1 Vincenzo Joseph vs. #2 Alex Marinelli
Always nice to see a #1 vs. #2 match during the regular season.
Marinelli has never lost at Carver Hawkeye
Should be fun

Cenzo went either Hi-C or head outside single, nothing. Marinelli briefly had a leg, nothing. Joseph with overlooks, Marinelli trying body lock, on the edge. End

Marinelli takes bottom. He works up , and he's out in 12 sec, 0-1. Marinelli tried to spin behind, nothing. 1 min left. Marinella trying body lock, goes for an inside trip but Joseph with a throw to the back and gets swipes, and a stoppage for blood as Marinelli is bleeding. 6-1, and a blood stoppage. Looks like Joseph has a cut on the bridge of the nose, and Marinelli with a cut about the eye. We're back. Not much off the whistle. marinelli works up and the buzzer sounds. Not sure how this will be scored. Appears the refs are going to video. Reversal is awarded by the ref, making it 6-3
