said he had a big black eye
 
Henckel looks huge. He has a massive frame. I think he ends up a 184-197 when it’s all done

Henckel just teched Mulvaney who went 27-9 in his freshman year. Was a NCAA qualifier where he went 1-2. Henckel is damn good. Will wrestle Gabe Arnold next

Strange ending/beginning to Knox vs Jax. Right off the whistle Jax takes him down and locks up a lace. Turns him once and Knox taps out in pain. Jax stops, coaches come out to look at Knox and after about 10 secs Knox stands up and shakes Jax’s hand and limps off. He must have already been hurt otherwise it made no sense
