Flo - Releases rankings 125

I don't think that Joe Smith ever beats Nolf but that first match was close. It was 5-3 late with Smith pressing the action. The only reason Nolf got his last takedown is because Smith was over aggressive going for the the tying takedown.
Agree, although the second time they met wasn't particularly close. Not sure if that was a greater familiarity separating them or if Smith's injury played a part. Smith can be dangerous, so I don't discount him.

I think the second match was a combination of Nolf just being better and Smith's injury

JoJo had a long year still really impressive young man!
I always wonder about coaches' kids being near their potential early on - in any sport, with physical advances driving a disproportionate share of their gains. We'll see soon enough if JoJo experiences that.
