What a freaking match Gross v Blaze.  Wow.  Gross trickery rules the day.  

[Dark Energy]

Gross’ hand in foot / toe grip is something else.

Is Valencia in school?

Valencia up 4-2 vs McKenna.  Looks good.  Going into 2nd.  Looks faster than Joey.  Joey with a deep high crotch but somehow Valencia defends but Joey has a leg.  Slowly and surely Joey gets the two and a lace!!  6-4 Joey.  …….

Now Valencia quick TD.  Has 6-6 criteria.  
M in but V with whizzer.  Stalemate.  14 sec … wow.  McKenna gets V head down and then into chest wrap position!  Gets a turn!!!  With like 3 seconds left.  Wow.  Valencia not able to evade and keep head up.  Wow.  
 

Bartlett just scored on Mendez.  2-2 B with criteria.  2:30 left.  M 3-2 with step out.  Missed it — 4-2 M.  30 sec left.  10 … Mendez wins 4-2. … wait.  Flurry.  Flo guys say time was out.  But 2 given to Bartlet.  Review occurring.  Kodak sure time was out.    Yup.  Mendez wins 4-2

Valencia looked great. Wonder if he has jumped levels or if Bassett can go with these guys. Bassett is 3-0 against him last year.

Yianni pins Andonian via cradle!!

okst/cowboy rtc 2-0 NlWC/PSU 1-2 so far

[Dark Energy]

Wow.  Watch Messenbrink’a defense vs Monday 30 sec into match.  What technique.  Love it.

And then POWER defense at 1:20 into match.  Wow.  Mess so good.

How did Green not turn in that Lace.  Lewan not strong or is Green ridiculous?

[Dark Energy]

Mess on fire.  Monday was getting into legs early but now Mess the one getting in.  10-1 going into second.

And done 12-1.  Monday looked good early but Messenbrink’a defense was next level.  Must have been a bit demotivating

Mess needs to improve his baseline defense to win medals at the senior level. Feels like how takahashi exploited him is still very there.

[Dark Energy]

Carr handling Jacques.  Hamiti handling Monday.

Carr tech in about 2 min.  Wow.  Carr v Messenbring fire!!

[Dark Energy]

Simon Ruiz TD Wick with lace position but wow, Wick does not turn.  2-0.  Wick gets a low single and sweep leg TD.  2-2 Wick.  And another TD .. 4-2 Wick.  Ruiz TD!  4-4 Ruiz.  Wick moving well.  Has Ruiz leg up but just 1 as go OOB.  5-4 W.

W with TD.  And another.  Tries lace but no go.  Has timing on reattack.  Ruiz with a McFadden singlet on.  9-4 Wick.  Scrambles. Nothing .:: 42 left.  Step out 9-5.  Wick wins.
 

Hamiti up 8-0 vs K Monday.  Now 8-2.  Monday battlingZ. Had Hamiti up but no 4.  Gets two.  8-4.  1:20 to go.  Hamiti TD with trap arm.  Finishes it.  14-4.

[Dark Energy]

Dake must be crazy strong.  Keck can’t hold his ground.

[Hammerlock3]

When dake was at 79, and claiming he was weighing in kilos under....he was lying.

[Dark Energy]

How is Keck NOT on the clock?

[Dark Energy]

Dake up 8-1.  Keck just shot and got a step out.  Nearly a TD.  Dake wins 8-1.

[Dark Energy]

Zahid with nice TDs but nothing recently. 4-0.

Another shot but Mar slips out and around and behind.  Zahid signaling hurt.  4-2 as whistle blows.  Not clear what is hurt.  
 

being put down on restart.  M working for laces. No.  On feet 15 sec.  Some slipping.  Drying mat.  10 sec left.  
 

Zahid wins.  If hurt he is in trouble.

[Truzzcat]

I thought Dake vs Carter may be a thing at trials... I no longer think so.

[Dark Energy]

Loving me some Wyatt.  After 4 pt double by Hilget, Wyatt reels off 10.  10-4 lead.  After TDs and guts.  

[Dark Energy]

Thomas up 4-1 with late TD on Wood.  Sure looked like T came super close to stepping out before that.  Must have barely had a toe in.

What the hell just happened on Flo site.  Said stream ended.  Still working on Roku.  

[Dark Energy]

Ok, seems like they cut mat 3.  

[Dark Energy]

Damn.  Now Roku out for Wyatt match.  Stream inactive error showing.
