3-0 at the break and Spicy with the only takedown. Looks like smooth sailing *Knock on wood *

Be prepared for calls against Lee in P2. They will be coming. Don't get frustrated.

[D3 for LU]

Lee needs to score one more time...

Final score?

Spicy Spencer with the win 3-2. He gave up two push out points in the last ten seconds or so. 

[Dark Energy]

Lee was on his offense.  Wins with no turns.  

[Rassling]

Why was the match so close? Anyone?

[D3 for LU]

All of the US team wrestled one time  today already... time to cycle to the next round.

Zou is tough. Don't read into the scoreboard read into the win. He is a Gwiz-level medal gatekeeper and that is two solid wins in 12 weeks against him.

[gimpeltf]

He has to learn to sprawl a little differently. He pulls his knees back up off the mat on the way out. I was wondering if they might challenge  an earlier one. I thought he was ok on that one but the knees kind of came up. He also needs to circle there.

Zou did not engage. Gameplan was to keep it close and try to steal it at the end.

[Eagle26]

Lee hangs on… he’s lucky ref didn’t call him for a step out or a caution on that first one, but I have no doubt he would’ve dug deep to hang on. Nice job! He is on a mission!

[4xJVchamp]

Lee and brooks wrestling somewhat conservatively in the opening rounds. Next match should be easier for brooks

[bnwtwg]

Amine on deck on C, RBY on deck mat A

Cruz quarters in the hole A

[nickp91]

Great start for Aaron Brooks! 

[Pinnacle]

UZB on both mats stirring up the crowd.

To paraphrase that crotchety crotch sniffer LBJ once said, the "women's style" is much better. And significantly more successful. Who wants to waste their morning watching L's?

Easy tough guy

Lee's opponent was defensive the entire bout, only countering Lee's offense.  Lee had a few decent scoring chances, but the guy was built like a fire hydrant.   Very hard to score on.  Looking for a big counter throw.

Lee was definitely the better wrestler.
