Andonian - just gives up?

[Dark Energy]

Vs Haines - just folded.  Defense just crumbled.

Vs Scott - basically says fine, take me down again.  Ok.  I’ll lay here.  Pin me.

[jross]

It was gross.  

[Gus]

Made no sense. He was winning against Scott and then just pinned himself

[Le duke]

Seems unlikely, but, cut issue? A guy who was at 149 last year struggling with 157?

Fell off a cliff against Haines. Died on the mat.

In my opinion the way he wrestles just isn’t sustainable in a tournament format. It’s more geared for a dual once a week. He spends 7 minutes trying to upper body manhandle ridiculously strong 157 pounders and he wrestles balls to the wall (for lack of a better term). It’s not like he’s waiting for the 3rd period with 10 seconds left to try his first throw of the match. He’s going for it right off the whistle. Couple all of that with not really having any consistent leg attacks in his arsenal and there’s your bad formula for dying on the mat in the 3rd period.

Reminds me of Andrew Alton, although Andonian has had more success

[Rassling]

I don't think he gave up at all. He simply blew out his lungs trying to defeat a more determined Haines.

[jross]

His second loss.

Alton had an even worse tank and only one throw sequence: duck=>headlock=>standing cow-catcher-trip-thing
