Ironside "We've got this"
He's already calling it.
Bo Nickel mentions that Steveson / Parris might also be good.

 

[Vallholl]

Announcers on BTN are going to basically be excited for each match. Fair enough

[crablegs1]

Spencer really racking up some 2nd period points this tournament.

 

[Vallholl]

Ironside didn't think the ref could count to 4 there.
REally upset about the ref not giving the counts and NF points.

 

[el dub]

I’m afraid Spencer might have tweaked something in that match maybe?

 

[TarpHawk]

Love Mark Ironside

 

[Kinnick 4 Prez]

Is there a little limp on Lee there after the match?

 

[js8793]

Feel good about that. He needed a good rep on bottom this year haha.

 

[Chalkdaddy94]

Good fight by Spencer’s opponent. That was a tough scrap for a bit there, until Spencer got on top and did what he does!!!

I don’t want to upvote that comment but I’m wondering the same...

Schroder's a tough kid. One of the few who have ever taken Spencer a full 7.
