So far, so good. USA has four in the semis (Kenny,Blaze, Mantanona, and Ryder) which is about to start here in a few minutes on Flo

Blaze dismantled his opponent. 11-0. Was up 3-0 at the break, perfectly timed short offense when the other guy was on the shot clock, got his 1 + 2. Then a TD into trap arm gut series to end it in the 2nd. Total stud.

Mantanona just lost to the Russian we can't admit is Russian.

Mantanona just lost to the Russian we can't admit is Russian.

I'll have to rewatch it, but some of that scoring in the Mantanona match seemed funky to me. Especially that last big exchange that changed it from 6-4 to 8-2 after the Red challenge - and really put it out of reach. Can't believe Mantanona didn't get any exposure there.

Ryder almost stole it at the end but crazy quad-pod/stepover defense by MDA opponent and a lost challenge by Ryder results in a 4-1 loss.

We went 2-2 in the semi-final round.

Paul Kenny- 48KG and Marcus Blaze-55KG into the finals.

Brock Mantanona-65KG and Zack Ryder-80KG into the Bronze medal match.

Today netted two golds (Kenny, Blaze) and two bronze (Mantanona, Ryder). Had a meh second day…I think Lockett is the only one going for gold tomorrow.
