Day 2 Jr. Worlds

[Azchief32]

Valencia and Pico with the tech.

Micic loses to India...dude was dead on his feet at the end. After being taken down, he did a stand up and did a standing granby if I'm not mistaken giving the other guy two. Hope he's ok cause he didn't look too hot.

Micic led 8-2 and gave up the last 10 points of the match. Looked like he got worn out by spending too much time underneath after not being able to quickly finish his shots.

Tough tough tournament makes what Lee did even more impressive.

Butler falls in the semis.

Micic got brought back in, beat the Canadian and is wrestling for Bronze. Glad he got a second chance.

A junior world title is a pretty good indication of future success, but not necessarily dominance. [I should mention that John Smith and Logan Striebler both finished second]
