Bring home the gold Metcalf!!!

bracket for 65kg is out....nothing easy about Metcalf's draw
the lower "half" bracket, where Brent is, has the higher ranked wrestlers

just to reach finals, Brent faces:

Hungary NR
Turkey #6
Iran #1
Canada NR
Azerbajian #3
 
Yep, tough draw, no doubt. That said, Brent knows he needs to beat the best to be the best. I don't think he or Burroughs really care about who they put in front of them. It wasn't going to be an easy path, regardless of the draw. Plus, if he gets by the Iranian, his path to the gold is that much easier.

IT'S TIME, BRENT! GO GET 'EM, BUDDY!
 
Good Luck Brent! We know you're loved in Iowa but you got a lot of folks in Pennsylvania pulling for you as well!

USA!

I love seeing this. Not surprising coming from you, Johnstown, but very cool to see, nonetheless. I'm sure there are plenty in PA rooting against him, but it's reassuring that there are good eggs out there pulling for him and the rest of Team USA.

Damn tough draw but if anyone can battle through, it's Metcalf! Metcalf's style of wrestling puts him in a position that he can't lose until he's guaranteed a medal match. He wears his opponents out so much that they never seem to wrestle as well the next round and really slims the odds of him getting pulled back in. I'm not in Vegas today but I'll be locked into my computer screen, watching, cheering and even saying a little prayer that Metcalf brings home the gold he has been working so hard for!! Come on Brent, take care of business and get it done buddy!!!

Oh man, that gets you pumped! I love the quote "Take it where they don't want to go." That is the Metcalf that I love. Come on, Brent, go get that gold medal around your neck!

Again, do you actually think before you type???? Plenty in PA rooting against him????? Seriously, you're way off. I live in PA, talk wrestling with a bunch of folks every day. I could poll every one of them today about Metcalf and I highly doubt there is one of them rooting against him. Not one.

How about that psychotic, Amalone?

Dice, you either need to drink more, or drink less. Not sure which, but relax a little.

I need to do both at times...

Honestly, I don't even think Amalone is on the anti-Metcalf bandwagon at this point. Ramos, definitely; not Metcalf.

Well if he is against Ramos then he is an idiot. Once they leave college your allegiance should back your countrymen and root for the USA. Has there been a couple guys that made the world or Olympic teams that I was not real fond of? Yeah. Did I root against them? Not a chance!

If I remember correctly, you're kinda new. Probably haven't been exposed to the full Amalone effect yet.
 
Looked solid against the Türk as expected. Big match next round
 
There must be at most 200 people there.

I think the camera angle is misleading. Many of the shots from the Greco matches showed a pretty good crowd. Perhaps UWW will release attendance statistics.
 
@kjpilcher: Lost challenge and Metcalf gets another point. He holds on for 5-3 win. #VEGASWORLDS2015

Metcalf is hurting after that match. China was hammering the neck

Wow. It looked to me like Metcalf had a fairly easy pushout going in the last 30 seconds and just blew it off. He's lucky he won.
