Beat the Streets

[Mr. PeanutButter]

This is the exactly the same EDM I was forced to listen to at frat parties when I went to college. My God, the flashbacks

[CHROMEBIRD]

Are they doing the panel discussion before they start the second half of the card?

[ionel]

I can't figure out what is going on now.  

[CHROMEBIRD]

2 minutes

Should we be angry or thankful that they're not livesteaming people eating their dinner?

Alirez - Mendez is next.

 

 

Free to watch.  JB on the horn.

[nhs67]

HFS this panel is going to be fire.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Lmao, "the ref!"

[DocBB]

Dying of Boredom...worst Sports Production I have ever seen, free or not. Awful...

What's Alirez walking around at these days? He looks bigger than I remember

[Truzzcat]

that was not worth staying up for but awesome job by Jesse especially considering it was at 150

Only one match matters while others are a time to check emails, texts and return voicemails.

Didn't really learn much about a possible folkstyle match up between these two.  Neither seemed particularly interested in taking a legit shot until the very end.

If you put that side-by-side with the Bartlett - Mendez final this year, it looks nearly identical.  Different rules, yet identical.

Add in that Alirez controlled Bartlett at OTT, even if the score was relatively close.  It shows that Mendez is real close to being 'that guy' right now.

I know styles make matches, but it is rather known that Bartlett is better at MFS than Folkstyle.  Mendez controlled center.  That match would look similar in Folkstyle.

Also, the match was at 150lbs.  It might not need to say anything for Folkstyle.  They may very well be different weights this next Collegiate season.

Would not be surprised in the least bit to see Mendez hold 65kg for the USA after this year through the next quad. He is legit.

On one hand I'm curious to see what the rest of the production looked like, on the other I'm getting bored watching 5 minutes of whatever this bidding is for before the Mendez/Alirez match.

Those are the Spartan Combat shoes. Yianni wears them.

In an interview Jesse said he wished the match was at 65 but he was going to take it no matter the weight. I really sold my stock on him after his true freshman year but I don't know that I have seen someone get better nearly every time I see them wrestle in the way that he has.

On a 19-9 true freshman who was sixth at the national tourney? Bet you were feeling pretty smug after that Mathews match...

he came out completely different as a sophomore. He was a true freshman AA, but he did do it with all grit - ultimate tie breaker 3 matches in a row. Heading into this past season, I was not expecting an NCAA title until his performance at CKLV.
