Nope. Berger never had control of Kemerer's right foot. On replay, you can see Kemerer's foot continuously slipping out of Berger's grasp. It was very close, but he never controlled it.
Great match. Both guys were incredibly close to TD's on multiple occasions. How Kemdawg had him lifted off the mat with a deep double and didn't finish was amazing. Just a phenomenal counter by Berger to land in a wizard and fight it off. When a guy gets that deep, lifts, and plants, it's a TD 99.99% of the time. Kemdawg similarly fought out of a couple of almost certain TD's for Berger.
For those keeping score at home, Kemerer was a great sport throughout. Berger, on the other hand, planted him with a double after the buzzer in regulation and then jawed at him and went after the Iowa bench after the match. I'm sure all wrestling fans across the nation will take note.
Oh yeah, and that slam that happened after the whistle all part of wrestling. Nothing to see here.
You're right, it didn't take him that long to beat Imar when they were in HS. Actually I think Anthony was in HS, IMAR was a true frosh. My how things have changed.
I didn't say I liked them, was impressed by them, nor excited by them...I said I was fine with them. He was fired up. He said some things. Kemerer won the match on what we can all agree was a tight call.
It was a fun match to watch and I'm not going to focus on the post match antics.
If they perform that way every time I can't waitI don't think Kem and Berger like each other
They have 3 more years to figure this out
I agree that was a takedown, but by the same rule so was the one that Kem had at the end of regulation. I call it a wash.
With Kemerer's two, it looked like they gave it to him when Kemerer was on the side and both of Berger's knees were on the mat. It was very brief so I don't think anyone minded that the call was reversed. But again I'm not sure exactly what it was that are them call the TD for Kemerer.
Berger's was much clearer. He had the ankle, but momentarily. A good way to describe it is a wrestlers back quickly touching the mat and then getting off with no pin called. Kemerer immediately pulled away from Berger's grip. Not sure if that is suppose to be 2 according to the rule or if Berger has to establish control first in order for it to stand.
Either way, match is over and Kemerer gets a hard-fought and confidence-boosting victory. But he knows that's not the last he'll see of Berger.
Until Spooner confirms the exact weight with his calibrated body composition eye test, I'm not buying it.................................
Was thinking about all the guys saying Kem Dawg was not in shape at that ISU meet...Some of us just said hey was his first real big match in Carver and most likely was to emotionally that got him...Guess they where right.
I don't care if he prances out like my little pony. Just don't put your damn knee so close to your head, especially against somebody as long as AV.
yep.. taken down early, escape, another take down 4-1, then he got locked up in a cradle and kept getting thrown to his back.. I honestly don't know if it was tech fall or pin (buffering on computer) but it was over in the first period
edit pin
Ironically, I believe this is not true at all and a huge myth with "reaction time". Pretty much only applies from rear standing position and only applies to opponents hand touching the mat. Does not apply at all to Kem.
I hate to say this, but, I can't wait for Alex and Sammy to graduate.
Seen this before. Brooks seems to quit once he gets on the backside at tournaments.
All the good feelings I had about Meyer after yesterday disappeared today. I should have known better.
They're both talking? Standing in a barn door? Help me out Chief.
Meyer and especially Brooks look good against inferior competition. Neither have high level offense (or defense) against top guys
