Brackets are out. No Brooks or Sorenson even though they were pre-registered.

Looks like Clark vs Tomasello is a QF matchup.

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

DeShazer put on shot clock vs Garret when he's taken the only shots of the match...

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

Is it just me or does Garrett look gassed. Gotta think a lot of these guys dropping down to 57kg are going to struggle with energy and strength those first matches after weigh ins.

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

DeShazer losing by 4 with a minute left. Zero offensive attempts in the final minute. Why even fly out to New York.

 

[butchinmi]

Lizak is HUGE. That dude was cutting so much its not even funny.

 

[Im4Iowa]

Thanks for the updates!

 

[butchinmi]

After next round, 57 could be:
Garret vs Perrelli/Richards
Clark vs Tomasello
Suriano vs. Gross
Sanders vs. Cruz

Other fun possible matches coming up that are not finals matches:
Molinaro vs Kolodzik
Lewis vs Joseph Rematch
Nolf vs Marsteller

 

[butchinmi]

Nolf and Cenzo by tech.

Cenzo faced a guy that tried to inside trip him twice and was not afraid to go upstairs. Cenzo adjusted and took him out with leg attacks. Cenzo looks leaner this year. Maybe he didn't get to 220 in the off-season.

 

[butchinmi]

Drew Foster wins 10-0 early in 2nd.

 

[butchinmi]

Clark in the hole on Mat A

 

[butchinmi]

Biggest upset so far is Dean Heil didn't win in sudden victory. He won 10-0 against Lazor of UNI and in doing so, scored the most points of his career in November.

 

[butchinmi]

Myles Martin escapes K Radford 4-2. No idea who that is.

 

[WildTurk]

Quality competition at this tournament. Excited to watch!

 

[WildTurk]

Clark on deck against Sean Russel. Winner likely gets Tomato Sqatsalot

 

[FarvaHawk14]

Clark down 0-4 on a little shuck snap for behind and I didn’t really see the second one

 

[Grip220]

Clarke down 4-0 after the first

 

[butchinmi]

TD 2 - Throw by for Russell
Sloppy don't even know what Clark was trying other than a whip and TD 2 Russell
Russell up 4-0
Mark Perry and someone large in HWC corner

 

[FarvaHawk14]

Clark sure the corner for 2 down 2-4 a TD would give him criteria

 

[butchinmi]

TD 2 for Clark, Caution 1 OB
Clark Restart on Top 4-3 Russell

 

[FarvaHawk14]

2 guts and he’s up 7-4! One ob was not awarded

 

[butchinmi]

Clark Gut x2 Up 7-4

 

[Grip220]

Cory with a takedown plus caution and one then two guts up 7-4

 

[butchinmi]

Clark taken down twice, down 8-7 with 1:06 left

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

Man Clark gave away too many easy points with bad shots from neutral and then not moving.

 

[butchinmi]

Clarks best offense is defense and gut. Not really good looking offense initiated by Clark.

Clark loses 8-7. Sloppy sloppy match

 

[butchinmi]

He seemed to have his gas tank so I don't think it was a cut issue. I could be wrong.

 

[FarvaHawk14]

Couldn’t get to legs. Most shots with little to no set ups. Looked a little like too much of a cut by way of his size/strength not his tank.. bummer...

 

[WildTurk]

Dang. So close.

 

[butchinmi]

I'm out gents for a little bit.

 

[MVPFAN]

He really does not have a good style for FS.

 

[Grip220]

he’s cutting too much weight at 57 kg like a few others

 

[MVPFAN]

he’s cutting too much weight at 57 kg like a few others

Yes but he was losing in similar manner up a weight. Slow feet giving up the legs trying for chest wrap.

Sean Russell up 3-2 on Nato with 2 minutes left in the match

 

[comment1283]

Nato now up 7-5 with 20 seconds left

This. I think Gross is about to really struggle with Suriano because of the move down

 

[comment1283]

Suriano up 1-0 after the first period

 

[comment1283]

Tied 1-1 with 1:30 left after what appeared to be a bogus hands to the face call

 

[comment1283]

Suriano up 2-1 in on a shot. Gross defends and gets the exposure as time expires. Gross wins 3-2. Suriano was in on a bunch of shots but really struggled to finish them.

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

Gross going to win the match without taking a single shot or offensive motion. Scores with exposure on Suriano's shot with 1 second remaining lol.

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

Gross looked horrible in that match vs Suriano. He won the match, but Suriano finishes those shots in folkstyle where he doesn't have to worry about exposure or the very quick stalemate calls.
