Spencer Lee (Photo/Martin Gabor)SALVADOR, Brazil -- 2014 UWW Cadet World champion Spencer Lee (Murraysville, Pa./Young Guns) added a new title to his expanding trophy case, UWW Junior World champion.
Lee tore up the field on the way to the title at 50 kilos/110 pounds, including an impressive 10-0 technical fall in the gold medal finals over another 2014 Cadet World champion Ali Reza Goodarzi of Iran at the UWW Junior Worlds on Saturday night.
Lee scored an early takedown then locked up his feared ankle lace, turning Goodarzi at least four times for two points, to get his 10 points and stop the match early in the first period.
"I was surprised I had a leg lace. They told me to cinch it up, and I cinched it up and started rolling. I didn't stop until I heard the whistle," said Lee.
