UWW Junior FS World Team Trials

Some of this was mentioned in the Cassar thread, but I thought the team trials deserved its own thread. It is being held this weekend (5/20-5/22) in Irving, TX.

55 KG Daton Fix (Team BIG) won by decision over Gavin Teasdale (Young Guns) Dec 6-5
60 KG Mitchell McKee (Minnesota Storm) won by fall over Seth Gross (Jackrabbit Wrestling Club) Fall 2:15
66 KG Alec Pantaleo (Michigan - RTC) won by decision over Matthew Kolodzik (Princeton AWS) Dec 5-1
74 KG Mark Hall (OTC) won by fall over Logan Massa (Michigan - RTC) Fall 1:39

Mark Hall

Hall, Nolf and Joseph all at the same weight. AND Nickal, Martin and Valencia all at the same weight. That's enough right there to make this tournament worth watching.

Martin is not registered yet, for what it's worth. I wonder if he's seen enough of Valencia for the summer.

Mark Hall

Probably should have included his name, since it would be shocking if he did not participate. As of this morning, however, he is not yet registered, at least according to trackwrestling. Still two days to do so.

His dad says he's just setting up Valencia much like he did Bo with the earlier meetings.

Are the winners listed in the OP in the draw w/everyone? Or do they sit/wait for the 2 outta 3?

They sit and wait for the best of 3 finals.

I doubt Hall will be there since he is wrestling at Beat The Streets this week as well. BTS participants are allowed to postopone their best of 3 series with the challenge tournament winner to a later date.

Good point. Daton Fix has not registered as well so maybe he and Mark are opting to postpone the best of 3. Mitchell McKee and Zahid Valencia, however, are both registered, so maybe they will head to Texas after BTS on Thursday.

The upside to postponing is that you don't have to make weight twice in such a short period of time. But if you postpone you lose the advantage of wrestling the best 2 of 3 series fresh against a guy who had to run a same-day gauntlet. I think I heard that they can opt to postpone right up until weigh in, but I'm not sure where I heard that so that might be wrong.

They mentioned this on FRL.

Martin had Bo locked up...Bo tried his underhook to low single and got thrown. Great timing by Myles Martin. 5:20 mark.

 

[KFM74]

Chief, been trying to forget that. Was worse in person.

 

[tomsc]

AZchief--I'm not sure that the throw went down quite as you said, (Bo) "got thrown". Martin himself said afterwards that he was thrown to his back and was worried at first but just fought and rolled through it. Even though Martin had a body lock at the time, I think Bo initiated the throw, and Martin was worried at first, lying on his back. I REALIZE it's a MOOT POINT (I know you like caps!). Martin won the exchange and the match. But for accuracy's sake I think Bo was the initiator of the throw. Doesn't change the result of the match, though!

AND......!!! He donated to Frank for the 8th time this week....

 

[nitlion6]

Score Bo 4 Martin 3, little less than 0530 into the video, if someone watched that video and came to the conclusion that move was Martin throwing Bo, that person knows little about wrestling. Oh hell, that's too generous. The person who concludes that is a Martin throw knows nothing about the sport.
That's a move initiated by Bo and if he posts the underhook Martin is stuck.

Bo will never ever lose to Marin again. For those who know the sport well. Martin got a lucky break by Bo trying to force the action. If he just stays back when he was up 4 to 2 and takes regular shots and defends the match is over...Bo will tell you this as well....

Thanks for that reminder Chief. While you're at it, could you put up the PSU vs Alabama sugar bowl in 1979, the Hindenberg going down, the Titanic, and the Edmund Fitzgerald too? One just isn't enough, lmao.

Haha...not rubbing dirt, just fixing a wrong. If Bo broke that body lock that Myles had on him, it's two for Bo and maybe some backs on the edge...9 of 10 times, that last minute throw doesn't work. See Jo Jo/Cenzo a few weeks ago. Seriously? Just turn around and take your two like a good boy and live to wrestle some more. Cenzo has cement bricks in his hips. Anyways, I digress.

Indeed amigo. There are times to throw caution to the wind, and then there are times to....what was it Tim Johnson always says about Cowpoke wrestlers again???

Oh yes, "GET YOUR HAND RAISED", haha.

 

[SRATH]

MM won....... And did nothing but hold on to Bo's body the whole time. Thanks for the video....I had forgotten how MM spent most of the match running away

 

[21Guns]

It was awful. 3 stall calls and nearly 4 in less than 2 minutes and running the whole time. I don't care how big your lead is. He could have wrestled the final two minutes and still won the match. Embarrassing.

 

[Pennstate1985]

What's the weekend schedule for this event?

 

[LemonPie]

Cassar weighed in at over 210 pounds. Full size 197 pounder.

He looked big in the pic someone linked. Should be fine.

Wish people would get over this match.

Myles was better than Bo in that match. No other way about it. Not luck, saying crap like that is just irritating and wrong.

He was better for :30 sec and that is a hard pill to swallow.

Yes, sometimes great wrestlers have an off match and get beat by somebody you wouldn't expect. A good example would be Gable and Owings.

Saturday brackets out, Flo preview including brackets here. Cassar has Chip Ness, an NCAA qualifier from NC (I think Morgan majored him earlier in the season), then the winner of Evan Hansen (Grand View) / Chase Singletary (Blair) to get to the finals.
