Tomorrow him and Lee will both be pulling up their socks two minutes in

[wrestle87]

Man...this is kinda tough to watch...Fix hasn't progressed in a long time...I hope he gets some new technicians in his corner, I feel like he has the exact same toolset he had 10 years ago.

Yep.  Big weight cut tonight!

[Pinnacle]

Fix has no offense at this level. Got a 2500 class GMC in Stilly Nil though. 

[4xJVchamp]

If Lee has less than a 5 point lead going into the second then Gilman will take the W

I think its time for him to go into coaching. Great dude but he doesn't have it at this level and I don't think he will get it. 

[lisa morales]

Poor Fix is painful to watch.

If Gilman beats him they gonna hold a vigil in Iowa.

[JuanMogen]

Greco stinks, but how about this 45 year old smoking everybody?

[wrestle87]

I'd lean Spencer...but he's always one bad hip turn away from ripping something.

It's kind of amazing to see that his default single leg defense is so full of positions that place lateral and/or twisting pressure on his knees.

Are they doing two in the morning or only one?

Dude is a G, but the US is also positively anemic at Greco.  It's so brutal.  Greco seems to have declined to the same magnitude that Freestyle has improved since the mid 00's

You’re right — weights not qualified for the Olympics do two starting at 10 am the others do one at 10 one at 630

Is their logic behind this or are we just adding bells and whistles because they came included in the lego set?

Nobody knows the rules, and the throws are often subjective. Look at this dumb shit with the old man throwing blue, but they ALMOST gave blue 4. Nobody knows a damn thing because its too dumb to know.

It could have been either.  I thought I heard two in the morning, but was ready to believe otherwise.

Is this because they want "unproven" guys to be able to function after a cut?
