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!
Couple random observations:
Caleb Fish and Chase Saldate - practice room partners and teammates for four years faced off today and Fish took it pretty easily.
In the match of Hunter Garvin vs MJ Gaitan I was thinking how bizarre it was that we had an Iowan wrestling in California against a Californian wrestling in Iowa.
This is Sasso's first real test of the year since the life threatening injury, significant time off, and new weight class. Got into a hole early and has been digging himself out with steady work.
Every once in awhile we get names that were meant to match up against each other and they're actually wrestling at the same time, but are sadly separated by weight class.
