That screwed Parris, now going to lose because he has to take dumb risks to catch up

[Gus]

td parris 10-5 

[D3 for LU]

Parris' match is going to hell in a handbasket...

[Dark Energy]

Well that sucked.  

[Spladle08]

Not a surprising loss, but surprising score 

[STLBOY]

Lot of rookie mistakes there. Should have won that match

Standby... who thinks Parris will get pulled back into repechage?

Anyone?

He looked lost out there.  Unprepared.  He took a terrible shot when leading and then lets up on the edge to get planted for 4 (really 5 with the lost challenge).  

Unreal.

Looks like Kadi lost already in the opening round. I'm looking for Salkazanov or the young Greek to come out of the bottom of the bracket. 

Whelp, definitely not gonna be the young Greek. He had nothing in that match.

When is Dake up again?

 

[skandar]

Really really poor decision by Mason not to belly out and then by his coach to challenge. You’ve got to have higer wrestling iqs at this level

He needs to quit shooting for the sake of shooting. Pick your shots and set them up and learn on the edge wrestling at this level. Makes or breaks a match

I'll say it one more time, it's likely Zhamalov, who wrestles Salk this round

3 more matches

[Cowboy08]

Really poor showing by Parris, I never understood how everyone just penciled him in for a medal like he was Steveson

As of now... 4th bout on Mat A.

OR

3rd bout after the one being wrestled NOW.

He looked like he was wrestling a folkstyle match

[Eagle26]

Bummer. I know the Mongolian is tough, but that was not Parris’s best match. So many straight on shots without getting any angles, and then the mental mistake giving up that 4. I believe Parris is good enough to medal but unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we will get to see that today

I do, Lhagvagerel once beat Petravishvili at the Worlds. He is a wrestler and his father was a wrestler.

Parris in Paris may have believed his own hype.  It was Parris with the embarrass in Paris.

HIs first takedown looked like that. Not his first 90 seconds, but the first one he scored. 

For a moment I thought he had settled down and was on it. 

[STLBOY]

Just frustrating as he had a shot to be in the bronze medal match and now most likely out
