Bubba Wilson over Sammy Sasso. 

Bubba looked so much bigger than Sasso. You can see how difficult it is for Sammy up two weights.  Love the heart, desire and guile. He can't make up size but he gets a chance to figure out the rest...

Fish vs Saldate.

Both these guys were at Michigan State last year. 

This is the first time Fish has been at this weight, presumably in years.  All because a Michigan guy came in and displaced him!

This Lovett vs Echemendia match has been insane.  Such drastically different styles.  A neutral guy against a mat wrestler.  Echemendia won the takedown battle - avoids going up or down all match.  But as he hit his last takedown, he wasn't able to quickly release and he ends up reversed, and put on his back for the loss!

Lot of low-scoring defensive matches at the tournament, but the whole thing is being saved by the Mad Maxes at 149. The lowest-scoring, least interesting match in these medal rounds at the weight was 5-4.

This is the tournament of Isaac Dean's collegiate career to date.  Close match there with NCAA finalist Dustin Plott 

Then he gets Tech'd by Shumate....Ohio State's backup 184.

Seems going upper body against him was not the move... Got flung all over the mat.

Three good matches so far in the finals.  This next one should be excellent.  

Lovett vs Henson

THAT was a great match... Henson nabbed the TD on SV.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Romney looked a lot bigger than Evan Frost who is not a small 133

Great tourney for Mitt's grandson

I really thought that looked like at least 2 back points for Downey before the reversal, but must be wrong as the refs reviewed and the flo guys didn’t think it was either.

Painful to watch Lovett stand around hoping to wait out the clock for rideouts. Great pace by Henson.

Can't wait to watch Amine try to do the same.

I agree. 2 without a doubt, and with the way refs usually count during a tilt, I could have seen more.

Norman impressed though, looked like the better guy in neutral.  Choosing down in the 3rd was a mistake, should have tried to win it in your best position.
