Lmfao!!!! shot down

John Fluker it’s like UFC octagon interviews lol
Nah u should really see Sebastian Rivera’s answer. The big 10 champ interviewer was like how did u do that move?! And sebas just screamed NEW JERSEEYY

Two things you can't argue with; Fix stalled a lot, and Suriano grabbed the headgear.
110%
That stalling bullshit needs to be taken out of the tournament. Fix isnt even a good wrestler hes just built like a brick and string as fk
@@davidgutierrez4606 he took 2nd at NCAA so I’m pretty sure he is a good wrestler
@@davidgutierrez4606 if anyones a bad wrestler it’s you to be honest with u
@@bakersdozen5265 homie you have no idea who the fuck I am hahaha. Ranked #6 in California in 2005-07. I made CIF finals every year starting from my freshman year in HS. Had 3, 15 seconds pins of dudes ranked in the top 10. Finished 3rd in the brute invitational with 52 other teams. I'm A FUCKING BEAST AT 145LBS. Send me your location and I'll show you who's daddy
Damn...I’m really thinking this could be one of the most suspenseful matches that I’ve seen. No joke, that had to be one of the best wins ever.
It did not disappoint.
Nick should of lost
Probably his win against Daton fix at who’s #1 was more suspenseful since it was like 35 minutes
@@sliperlickergame5048 false
I remember watching this on tv live back in college my freshman year. We had about 20 or so people that lived on the same floor as me in the room with popcorn and going crazy with watching this match. Definitely was one of the best matches I have seen suspensefulwise in a long time.
Fix running away the whole time,I know that’s a good game plan but that ain’t wrestling
Y J kinda like Anthony Joshua
He even ran away when he lost
He’s got the Floyd Mayweather Jr. disease. When in doubt…run…run away.
@@crispcaddy3064 only time he was explosive in the match
@@seealexrun7649 hahaha
Fix stalls for the whole match then he gets the lead over a stall call the irony
Was about to make the same comment. What a travesty that would have been if Fix had won.
Also gotta love how he was looking for the easy win again with the headgear shit. Fix stopped wresting to point to his headgear causing him to get taken down. Always keep wresting no matter what. Simple fundamental stuff cost him the win.
@@Juan-md5fb like you said, its basic fundamentals to keep wrestling until the ref stops you ALWAYS, day 1 stuff. Fix learned the hard way on the biggest stage.
Those are the Arms of a 133lber? Jesus.
PDX LockPicker they lose water weight right before weigh in then rehydrate after
PDX LockPicker yeah seriously they’ve gotta be like 5’6 or something tops
Crazy to think he was 125 the year before
finn bell not true, he weighs 138 walking around, I’ve met him. He’s not that big
finn bell I met him at the Fullerton wrestling camp in California(2019) and he weighed in after lunch at 142.1 with clothes on
I don't even watch wrestling and my heart was pounding during the OT's
@@treis531 I'm definitely going to watch some of it but I can't even lie to you bro, I still don't really know the rules and I've never been into wrestling so I'm not gonna sit here and say that I will start following it just being honest. But I can say that it has definitely peaked my interest and I will watch it from time to time.
Dwayne Jones watching and participating in the sport is an extremely gigantic difference
@@beneastman9252 well of course. I love watching basketball but it's just a different feeling being out there and actually balling on people lol
@@DwayneIsKing you still watch?
@@keyboard2758 lol tbh no. I've been trying to try out new sports to watch that I don't really watch and now the new thing I'm hooked on is hockey lol. And I can say that hockey is probably the first sport outside of the usual 3 that I usually watch (basketball, football, baseball) to actually catch my attention and now I'm really interested in it haha. Now I'm just learning the names of players and stuff. They are A LOT harder than these basketball and football names 😂
Bro told the nation that he saw it in his eyes “he quit”🤣🤣💀💀💀💀 fix gotta be punching the air every time he watches this interview lol
Fix is no doubt an amazing wrestler however he is the king of stall I’ve seen heavyweights stall less than him
He attempted more actual shots and not fakes thank suriano
Cap
He’s a steroid criminal cheat
2:15 "Daton Fix's high-paced entertaining style" is a crazy statement
That’s what happens when you try to win a match without taking your opponent down
Trying to win via foul points…lol! Got his ass handed to him in the end.
that always pissed me off when people stopped wrestling just because they thought something deserved to be looked at...the main thing my coach taught us was to never stop wrestling unless your seriously hurt or the ref stops you... and especially on the NCAA stage what on earth are you thinking...smh
Your coach should tell yu that at the level id assume you’re at, but these guys have the right too they’re actually wrestling for something with great value..
@@guuki9641 True. HS is a bit different.
@@guuki9641 I only ever cared about watching the section/district and State champ wrestlers wrestle each other. Those were the only ones where I learned.
@baller128k You don't watch sports for shit huh? Any sport on this high of a level is very technical and will get called out. That's how pro level sports work 😂. If you don't like it go watch something else.
For real such a chump move.
17:09 Fix stopped wrestling to point to his head gear. Big mistake to fish for foul calls before the whistle has been blown. Instant karma love it.
Especially for the damn championship
As the announcer said, John Smith used his last challenge for hands to the face earlier in the match and lost it, so even if it should have been hands to the face he had to keep wrestling until he heard a whistle
Zayne simard moore no he won’t, he put his Olympic red shirt in. He can’t compete this season
He was whining before that point due to the reset from down position. That's why he gave up the escape in the first place due to not having a good grip on the whistle.
he wouldve got the slide by if suriano hadnt grabbed his headgear
Beyond me why Fix was never called for stalling during regular time. Constantly backing up to the line then circling in before stepping out.
I didn't see Fix go for a takedown the entire time.
@@mike203203 he went for one.
They wanted him to win. Should have had multiple stalling calls the entire crowd was booing so loudly. John Smith is a force and the refs did not want him against them.
because Suriano was not taking shots. you can't just be pushing your opponent to the edge expecting a stall call. Fix was attempting to circle in while Suriano was cutting off his ability to do so, which per the rule book, could have been called stalling on Suriano. Once Suriano took a shot, Fix was called for stalling.
If he cut his hair he may have gotten the call.
You know...you are probably correct in your assessment.
That what I was thinking looking back he did grab his headgear but fix shoulda kept wrestling
You are so bald hahahaha
yeah I though the same thing, and the hands eyes call
Honestly the big reason he got taken down wasn’t even bc of the headgear it was bc he stood up to start talking
stalemate in motion
Fix can't say he did ANYTHING offensive. He was just waiting to counter. Call the damn stall
@@michaelhayes6209 he's always wrestled like that man even in middle school lol just most of the time it works.
Michael Hayes what match did you watch? Neither wrestler attacked much yet Suriano dominated the mat positioning keeping Fix backing up and his back to the outside of the mat. Stalling Fix.
Cap
Man 133s was insane that year 😂😭 man I love this match
To this day one of my favorite finals matches of all time. The suspense that built up while watching live is unforgettable!! I was jumping up and down when Suriano hit that final takedown for the W!!!!
True heart and grit to get a national championship! Can’t ask for more than that!
Great way to show that no matter what... never stop wrestling until the whistle is blown.
my fav part is when nicks dad goes ballistic haha
The sequence of that -> whiny Smith -> suriano jus standing with his arms out is great haha
Match would have been a lot better if they would have both let it fly.
I agree. But with so much at stake the wrestlers can lock up.
I love it when the underdog succeeds and he surpassed and overcame all of his ailments. He’s hungry! Those things that happened to him made him STRONGER and HUNGRY! THATS why he won!
And grabbing headgear to prevent a takedown also helps.
Came by to watch again. Hard to watch especially after all the top international matches. With both of them their style.. legs back ..arms extended to keep you at a distance.. is hard to watch. They will need to open up some offensive moves on the next level
These are young college kids
K, not that young! Jden cox went to the world championships at 19. Kyle Snyder world championships and Olympics around the same age 19 &20. These guys are .. 20?? And stalling is stalling.. goal should always be to improve
You’re joking right? A few weeks after this Suriano beat Joe colon, our USA team representative, and world bronze medalist. Dayton fix then went on to make the world team this year, beating Gilman. You have no clue what you’re talking about my man. Go watch women’s soccer.
@@michaelhayes6209 that doesn't change anything I said at all lol your anecdotes are irrelevant to the facts
@@allyyana9663 colon and gilman are no takahashi yuki, aliyev, rashidov, uguev etc.
good to fall asleep to
I thought Ben Askren was wrestling😂😂😂😂😂
Dood the funny thing is is that right after that match I saw Ben Akron and was like dood that was a hard lost u just took and then he said I'm not daton fix
Cut YT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t believe this man
Man -- best match ever. What a great match!!!
Thanks for watching!
man that OT victory and come back.. holy shit. so good.
OMG what a match!!! My hero Nick wins again! With credit to Fix too who lasted much longer against the Beast Suriano than most. Amazing match!
X Suriano is a great wrestler. I an happy he is a champ. He deserves it for his hard work
These two little guys look way bigger and heavier than they actually are 💪🏽
Emmanuel Oni definitely not during the season, maybe they get that big during off season but doubt it cause they’re in freestyle too, I’d guess 145 during the season, any more than that would be too much to cut sometimes 2-3 times a week
@@HamsterCatLionn not even 145, they definitely probably walk around between 133-141. 12 lbs is too much weight to cut and perform well at the collegiate level
@@cornprices1718 man speaks truth, Suriano I know for a fact walks around at 141-142. People think wrestlers are cutting weight like mma fighters and its far from true. Collegiate wrestlers cut weight sometimes twice a week and its just not feasible on there bodies.
@@caseyjones38 yeah, the most i ever cut was 15 and that was throughout the course of a month
Dam got my first wrestling match on December 7th nervous and excited
good luck bro. i remember my first match and i got completely destroyed, went over to the corner and cried. so don't sweat it too hard no matter what happens. the only thing that matters is to keep improving afterwards. hope you do well!
Bruh my first is on November 27th ;-;
@@xtra_sauc nice good luck! what state r u wrestling in?
Trust your training, trust your conditioning, and let it fly. Good luck buddy!!
My first ever match was in 8th grade in a tournament. I was nervous as hell, but I just let go of the outcome and trusted myself. What happened next was that I not only pinned just my first ever opponent in my first ever match, but take gold that tournament and go undefeated. In my first ever wrestling season. If you put trust in yourself and the work you put in, anything great can happen. Trust me.
Nice way to finish off a match strong what a win congrats 👏 🙌
You've got me into wrestling love the way you move, like a ninja. Cool Dude! X
it was really looking like daton was gonna win but god damn nick absloutly flipped the table at the end amazing clutch
Who’s here after Fix stalled the entire time in his match with Desanto this years 2021 Tournament?
Fix should've been wrestling instead of waiting for a call
two of the best
They tried so hard to give that match to fix
I love when the camera shifts 1000ft away at one of the most critical points in the match
I can watch this over and over let's go Rutgers let's go NJ We need to keep are homegrown talent in Jersey
This comment did not age well
Suriano is a legend
Nick Suriano Osman enigma... and enigmas are always interesting.
one of the best matches in history
Oklahoma state coach was trying every tactic in the book to gain an advantage for Fix. First the hands to the face. Suriano never touched his face, just the head. Then the headgear violation. Their wasnt any. It was ridiculous. Wrestling has succumbed to not wrestling, but tiny minuscule rules and attempts to upset the other wrestler to get him off his game. Terrible.
At one point it looked like Suriano had grabbed it for a split second but it definitely wasn’t intentional & Fix shouldn’t have stopped wrestling to point. If he didn’t have all that hair he may have been able to get the call but I definitely don’t think the call was there. It’s gonna be fun watching them wrestle in the future tho for sure.
Still fix got screwed, he had double boots in, and he’s suppose to ride out, that is the goal and they call stalemate
Avrg Mav He didn’t get screwed, he wasn’t trying to improve or get points and was just holding on. That’s exactly what the refs are trained to call stalemates in those circumstances.
@@Mitzpieler You've never wrestled in college and it shows. It's called a ride out, in college you are rewarded riding points and in ot the objective is to stay on top. in high school it would be a fair call but not in college.
@@avrgmav2243 as college wrestler, you also know the how inconsistent refs are...
He stopped defending the take down to point at his headgear.... just keep wrestling, and let your coach handle the challenges. Great match by both.
I've been getting hooked into wrestling , god its entertaining 🙌💪💪💪 I'm gonna take classes and tryout for the JV wrestling team next year!!
Good luck man, there’s always programs you can do before then
@@doublewidesurprise6016 There's also judo. I did judo before wrestling, and then found freestyle suited my style of wrestling and the grappling I was used to in judo was similar to in freestyle wrestling. Freestyle is definitely better, in my book, than folkstyle. Don't get me wrong, I love it at the more competitive levels, like State and college levels, but I can't stand it for regular HS and college wrestlers. It's too boring.
someone yelling to influence the ref, i will leave it at that for now
what shoe was fix wearing I need to know I trying cop pls and thank you 🙏
Fitting for Suriano and Ashnault to be Rutgers' first champs.
Great Championship match!!
Personally, I thought this was the best match of the entire tournament, if not in the entire season of 2019. The only other match in the tournament that went into overtime was McKenna and Diakomihalis, but that one wasn’t as hyped up as this one. And personally I would pick both of these guys to beat Diakomihalis who was the champion
In my opinion, that was totally on Fix. Even though Suriano had grabbed his headgear, Fix stopped hand fighting to point, causing Suriano to get to the legs and get a takedown
I love seeing the Sirianni family Rejoice but that dude grab the headgear No Doubt
That is what wrestling is all about what a match
Nick is right that Smith was workings the refs. The hands to face protest was clearly bogus. Also, Nick clearly pushed, not pulled on Fix's headgear. Fix did a lot of stalling. Suriano's win is legit. So disappointing of Smith to try for a cheap victory on technicalities.
Suriano knew what it took to become a champion he learned from his sophomore year where he took second and became one in 2019
One of my favorite matches
It's a good one!
Suriano, just tough as nails. 0:09 in OT you need an escape, just get to thr match to another Sudden death, and boom greeat reshot takedown for the win.. His conditioning is Elite
How the hell does Fix stall the entire regular match without a warning
They gave him the warning, but it should have been a full point
I have finally found my sport I played basketball in middle but never watched I enjoyed playing but I was never confident in taking basketball to a high level with wrestling I love watching and I wanna wrestle in collage
That sit out was crisp
Fix may be the better wrestlet but Suriano is tough as nails and can surprise anyone at any time!
Fix was absolutely hosed with the locked hands, and the first stall call coming about 18 seconds after Suriano made no attempt to return him.
"can you give us a definition of HANDS TO THE FACE" lol its pretty much in the name.
Suriano is probably the last dude you want to wrestle
Suriano is freaking jacked . Its unreal that he weighed 133lbs. Soon as that kid locks up with you ya know you're screwed
GREAT escape by Suriano!
Was fix plan to win by hands to the face calls?
Suriano is world class man
Blessings ❤️🙏🏽
How do you call a stall on that??? In the first OT
Wow both so good...
Wrestlers like fix only hurt the sport by not wrestling and trying to win off of technicalities
it's embarrassing, i'd rather miss an open field goal to win the super bowl, than to have people see me lose in the ncaa finals because i was pointing to my headgear instead of defending a shot.
.
He was literally #1 hs wrestler in the nation for years..... and it wasn’t all technicalities 😂
David /Pappy Suriano and Lee were both more rated than Fix. Nick is a 4 time undefeated state champ in NJ and Oklahoma high school wrestling isent even in the same league.
15:42 oh my god..
4:02 that guy waving on the left 😂
What a crazy match honesty fix battled hard against suriano then on rby 👍 if you agree
Can someone explain how Suriano is stalling at 13:30 mark? He's supposed to let them escape or have base under him?
Great outcome. Fix certainly IS a stud, but Soriano was the outcome I was hoping for.
It became the true vision quest for nick
Suriano deserved the win. He was screwed on that first call.
Smith looked like a weasel the whoel match tryna get any little point for fix that wasnt there. Looked desperate asf
i mean to be fair the head gear was grabbed and its not his fault the NCAA made the stupid hands to the face rule then decided not to call it in this match. Any good coach would do the same thing and would do anything to ensure their athletes success especially in the NCAA finals when you know the match would only come down to a point or two. Why wouldn't you take the shot to get those few points that could have decided the match? That's a winning mentality and just goes to show how much he cares about his team, his athletes, and the sport of wrestling.
It is called being a good coach not a weasel.
@@tropicalterrarium1742 begging for every call, going over to the other coaches corner... WEASEL
@@adezii1397 Greatest wrestler, coach Usa's history. I bet you havent won shit in wrestling, yet alone 2 olympic golds lol.
Looked like a dog searching for the ball that was never thrown lol
Hey there other Baldwin...love you the most buddy.
That stalemate in TB1 was crazy
I can sprawl and try and avoid this take down, but instead I'll start pointing to my headgear midshot and get taken down and just point to my headgear after and let the refs decide that match cause iam gassed 🤣
I wanted Suriano to win but I have one question. If he did not pull down on the headgear then why did Fix reflex fully push his headgear up immediately following Nicks release? Look close and ask yourselves why adjust if there was no movement.
He grabbed it it’s clear as day!!
What’s the beat called in the beginning of the video ?
Suriano is the best escape artist in collegiate wrestling hands down.
LMAO!!! Suriano is a serial QUITTER! He quit Penn State under Cael Sanderson after his 3rd loss! He quit the super32 in high school after he lost. He quit the Olympic trials after he lost and wouldn't even wrestle his consolation matches! He quit Rutgers... If he had stayed at Penn State he could have been a 3X NCAA champion. Now he will leave college with one MCAA title and that was a gift from the ref that stopped the regulation match with 9 seconds left on the clock. Strength and stamina - Nick wins - skill and technique he gets beat EVERY time!
The stalemate in OT was the worst call of the match. Can't fault the refs on the headgear call, nothing could be seen with Fix's hair, seemed like it was a headgear pull but no chance that was getting reversed.
As a wrestler. Wrestling at this level where the your opponent is just as good and your takedown attempt can majorly backfire on you and can cost you the match. Experience really counts here and heart. You really have to give it 200% the whole match. If you let up for 5 seconds you will loose. There is no glory or paychecks for these guys. It’s the ultimate sport. You are out there all on your own. It goes by so fast.
Not if you're completely a demigod at folkstyle. I was good at folkstyle, but I realized I was so much better at judo, and I could actually try and get a submission on someone without fear of giving up back points. I don't hate on wrestlers or wrestling, but I have met very disrespectful, overly confident wrestlers. We don't typically see it at the higher levels but we did in my HS team.
As someone whos new to wrestling why did they keep calling a stall 11:50 to 12:12? Is it because it's overtime and they want to encourage movement? or do these same stalling rules apply to regular time? It looked to me like he was trying to escape, at least in the last sequence when Nick grabbed his leg.
Nick reminds me of tito ortiz the way he talks lol
Heartbreaking! Fix had the match easily won in regular time. What ref stops riding time with 9 second left in a match. Fix is a much better wrestler but Suriano is a wild card. He's strong and in shape. Even when you're technique and skill is much better a tough wrestler always has a chance. I haven't seen Suriano wrestle at the same level since he lost at the Super32 his freshman year of high school. Then the two losses his junior year of high school changed him. He was still officially 159-0 which is damn good even in a weak state like NJ! I think he only has 8 college losses.
This was iconic
I am small and only 15 and 160 pounds and this guy 133 and huge muscles wow
Is it just me or does Nick Suriano look like Popeye 😂
I Eat Ass lmaoo
RIDING TIME! What referee stops an NCAA finals match with 9 seconds left. Sorry guys - this was a gift to Suriano - he did not earn it - the match was 9 seconds from finished when the ref allowed Suriano a second chance - he had already lost the match!
someone tell me what fixs shoes are called i want them
why did the camera pan out to Jupiter for the reversal??? Geeeeze🙄🙄
At the end of the third overtime period, why was the match stopped with Fix on top? Was that a stalemate call?
You mean when it stopped with 9 seconds left? It was a stalemate
Fix stalled for the entire minute of the first round of over time, then Suriano got stuck with a 5 second stall call, I think the ref is justified in not letting Fix double boot Suriano for 20 seconds after all that
@@seanhenry6802 I dont think So. Honestly he was working the top well he was getting the 2 on 1 and reworking his position. This match was decided by the red
@@rugbyfan9417 He wasn't working towards anything, and he had just stalled the whole match, it sucks the ref had to call Suriano for stalling but then Fix getting called stalling evened the match out
Because staller fix was stalling with legs.
