Eagle26 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Ugh. Tough one. Higuchi was on a mission too. He wrestled very well and so smart. Good tournament by Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortaJohn Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Did the ref mess up a grounding call? Could've sworn it should've been a point for Spencer. Not taking anything away from Higuchi. Spencer wrestled a great match Edited August 9 by PortaJohn I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Lee's strength stopped Higuchi's quickness on that low single. Match came down to one of the greatest scrambles in an Olympic final. A scramble that happened super quickly, but my brain processed, "Advantage Lee, Advantage Higuchi, Advantage Lee, Advantage Higuchi." Crazy stuff. I am entertained. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 It would be super tough for the MFS team to go home with zero golds -- unfortunately that's a big risk right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking anything away from Haguchi. Spencer wrestled a great match I like the way the refs have been calling out of bounds this week. I think these situations were officiated well.

Cowboy08 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Did Lee wrestle not to lose? He didn't let it fly like he did in all his other matches (obviously Hig is a different animal). Nothing worse than losing than losing and knowing you didn't leave it all on the mat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of depth, and some young guys are promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than losing than losing and knowing you didn't leave it all on the mat I don’t think he wrestled not to lose, but I think he wrestled to make sure he didn’t blink and Hig had locked up a leg lace and turned him 4 straight times. I thought the gameplan was great to slow down Hig. I think those guys could wrestle 100 times and each win 50. Just sucks one of Spencer’s 50 losses was in the gold medal match.

Spencer almost got the hip and angle on a couple of those go behind attempts and then the one td was a back and forth exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
