been traveling taking care of business…
got a minute to bounce around the googlewebs catching up a bit…
i am a bit shocked/surprised/taken aback at the absolute prevailing thinking that my guy Lilledahl has no shot against lee this weekend at Final X…
it is almost like people forget how Ono totally neutralized lee a couple of months ago…
that same Ono that Lilledahl has been traiing with for about 8 months…
it is almost like people forget that lilledahl has two wins over Pavlov… that is the same Pavlov who is a U23 world champ and russia finalist and yarygan finalist…
Lilledahl is the best wrestler Otto has ever wrestled hands down and more importantly the absolute smartest wrestler i have ever been around…
not sure if anyone here is a betting man and i do not know the odds, but, you could do worse than throwing some cheddar on lilledahl…
i thought i saw he was 6 to 1 underdog..Always been fan of Lee It be a great win if Lilledahl can pull it off
Carr comes back from down 3-0 at the break to get 2 TDs in the second to win first match…
Haines over wick 10-0 first… not competitive…
Hendrickson over golfer same as above…
Hidlay pushes around Barr for a 6-1 win…

Snyder gets a very subdued reception…
Snyder wrestling weird…
Almost like bad U14 Greco…
Gets a couple of step outs and a shot clock point… picks up an ankle pick on Wilmer to go up 5-0 at the break
Another step out for Snyder…
Zilner just has nothing for Snyder…
My guy Lilledahl and Lee next…
And by next I mean after McKenna and woods…
1-0 woods at the break…
Not much action other than a good head pinch attempt to a go behind by woods…
Woods on head inside single but McKenna turns it into a crotch lift… woods showing his free inexperience…
McKenna gets his leg up in the air for a step out 3-1 minute and a half keft
McKenna in on the legs again but woods fights it off…
Blood time 3-1 20 seconds left…
Jesus…
Woods pushing forward and catches him in a head pinch… 4 offered…
Brick…
2 pts final woods up 3-3 criteria with 14 seconds left
McKenna goes jazz body and exposes himself for 4 with a cartwheel… might have been white paddled… no matter
Jesus…
Yianni and Duke…
Free just drags on and on…
Duke very aggressive with the hand fight…
Duke tries an ill advised head punch which Yianni shrugs off easy for a TD…
Duke gets in deep in a single that Yianni fights off… going for crotch lift that Duke defends but does give up the go behind fir 4-0 Yianni…
Yianni picks up another TD late 6-0 at the break…
Yianni drops to a single and lifts for Duke for 2 and immediate transition to a gut…
Yianni just kind of big brothered him…

Damn…
7-2 final for Lee…
Lilledahl had a super slick knee block from par terre that almost scored them immediately gives up a go behind and 2 guts to go down 6-0 with lots of time left in the first…
Lill ends up picking up a sweep single late in tye first 6-2 at the break…
Second lots of hand fighting…
A few committed attacks from Lilledahl one of which a blast double that Lee stuffs and lifts up trying for the go behind… ends up with a step out 7-2…
That is the final…
It was definitely competitive but Lilledahl gonna have to figure out some things for match 2…

Dake is just too small for Valencia…
Z scores early TDs begin of both periods and gets a shot clock point in the first and that is all he needs…
Dake picks up a step out late first and then z vails on a TD late in the second…
Size matters people…
