Richard Figueroa with no doubt you would have been a four-time state champion if it wasn't for covid Salma High School from Fresno California God loves
Idk how do you even respect a wrestler that backs up and retreats an entire 3 periods. I can’t and he defiantly isn’t a champion. Oh that’s 2 matches he retreated. Terrible out come for penn state and Iowa.
@@dbxlfan6766 Ummm... you said "he defiantly (sic) isn't a champion". Did he win?? Then he's the CHAMP. It's that simple. Have you wrestled at that level? You might not believe he won, but he outwrestled the other guy.
Way more stalling than David Carr, who was shooting and getting takedowns and he got hit 3x and they wanted to hit him a 4th time. It sounds like you would be ok if Drake would have done nothing as well. Just 2 guys standing in front of each other doing nothing. You must not like action; maybe you should watch more curling?
Man the comment section spoiled it for me! First one I saw let me know the winner but praise the Lord, great match, loved seeing a CA wrestler get the championship!
Penn St is so dominant there probably will be a time where Penn St wins every weight, for now I think most fans are happy with humiliating the rest of college wrestling by more than doubling every other teams score😅
Congratulations Richard we're bringing up your friend that you lost in a big stage in your Championship round my son went to school with you there, Anthony Gomez and he's a congratulations you guys graduated together God loves
hear me out, stalling needs to be punished more than it is, i just graduated from high school as a 2x state placer and it wasn’t as much of an issue at that level, but the 2nd stall call should be 2 points instead of 1. people let off the gas the last minute or period of a match and get away with it.
What’s with the Iowa guys not going out there and trying to completely dominate matches? For the longest time except for Spencer they haven’t had anyone that does out and and tries to completely be dominate. Very frustrating as a Hawks supporter.
force out needs to be worth 1. having your back toward outer bounds is an unfair advantage because if you get into trouble you can scoot out of bounds, but if you attack, you have the whole mat to work with.
@@mememan2448 you can say that all you want but anyone who wrestled with no acls knows it’s a huge disadvantage. And yeah he did win but you’re acting like wrestlers don’t improve over the year.
@@freddievargas5143 scoring a takedown with 1 second left and last one coming in the last period. He stalled the WHOLE first period and the first 1:30 of the second. Not a good performance for a “champion” each their own.
I had a slide by Urkle position on the edge to win my state title senior year Way more control than that actual got in the position 3 times in last 45 seconds to win the match Refs didn’t even give it a thought of being 2 And it was But this one was not leg not in

As someone who has wrestled from California. Not a easy thing to win NCAA from that state but it has been done! Let's gooo!
I shed tears when he mentioned Jacob “Pee Wee” Rivera at the end. Great match Figs!
JB roasting DC “ they got discipline here “ hahaha
Central Section CIF baby, toughest regional in California state!
5 months later and still like watching this match. Great job Richie & ASU!
Same with this on and all the other championship matches

I had Riche since pre-season in a unpredictable weight I knew it 😂😂

Same people just didnt see how good he was
@@anthonybrown7650 dude is out of California and last year he won cklv I knew he could compete with any people
What a tournament by Richey Figs!

@@dbxlfan6766 3x state champ (if not covid he's 4x) and a ncaa champ. He was the best wrestler in the bracket.
@dbxlfan6766 oh shut up lol he won get over it he used Ayalas pressure against him. 2 takedowns to zero. National champion 🏆
@@dbxlfan6766 Ummm... you said "he defiantly (sic) isn't a champion".
Did he win??
Then he's the CHAMP.
It's that simple.
Have you wrestled at that level?

Here to collect Penn state tears so I can season my food
Now which team; who Penn St beat by over 100 points, do you follow?

So much respect for Ayala being able to overcome Brands coaching and make it to the finals.
Lol so true
Is he not a good coach or do you mean his style of coaching?
@@Rene390 style. Iowa wrestlers are worn out by the end of the season.
I’d say he was peaking? But yea, hate away!
@@CharlieB-gs5uk You really think the Brands do a good job preparing their team for March?
Ayala was influenced by the crowd. He needed to be more patient. ASU is too good at countering. Should’ve just wrestled instead of pushing the pace.
Knew he was gonna win since the beginning of the season
The Hawkeyes should only be recruiting guys who want to just win, pin and score points. Enough of this late third period sprint garbage.
Shut up and be grateful... still made it to the national championship and is still gotta lot left in the tank
Clearly you’re not a Hawkeye fan because second place might as well be last to a Hawkeye @@Dondo1
Every Iowa wrestler besides Spencer Lee has lost in the finals since Cory Clark won a title. I really wish Woods won last year.
Same people crying about stalling have no problem with people desperately trying to escape out to avoid a takedown
Video review as long as the match.
WHUS MY FAVORITE WORD 🗣️
DAMN WHY YOU GOTTA SAY IT LIKE $HORT,
RICHIE FIG$ 2024 NATIONAL CHAMP
Was that his walk out song?
The rematch from wno😈
Why'd the announcer say first Arizona State Champ since 2011? Did Zahid have to forfeit his championships or something?
It’s been since 2011 that ASU has won 125 when Anthony Robles won it.
When did a takedown turn into 3 points?
The new ncaa rules this year
That was a good one. 🙂
5:52 Figueroa is gripping the top of ayala shoe with his fingers, ayala could’ve prob fought back

I thought he was stalling but Ayala made some mistakes being too reckless with 1 minute left and got in trouble.
I thought DC was Michael Wilbon at first.
Props to Figueroa Ayala looked bigger than him
Takedown Fig
Technical Violation by Fig
4-1
crazy how in and unpredictable weight the most unpredictable wrestler won🥇
Challenge. Decided. Challenge challenge. LOL. Just ridiculous.

The shoe pull was a no take-down
He still won even if you take away that takedown
@boilermankamajii I know, I can do math.
Why didn’t Ayala get the takedown? He had fig in a merkle for a

Richard Figs??
No, let's learn how to talk again.
That's not his name.
Let's give him the respect he deserves.
Crazy healthy Spencer Lee would tech every single one of these wrestlers. I pinned Ayla in 50 seconds
Lee got pinned by the kid who lost in cons.
@@Rene390 Ramos yeah but Spencer had no acls 😂 why you think he forfeited every match after he lost
Severely injured Lee.
@@javionwaters5798 he won a natty with no acls last year shouldn't have been any different, in the words of Spencer himself "excuses are for wusses"

cry about it
Crazy how he can win when he was stalling the first 6 minutes of the match

@@vexnuss8199 yes lol 🤣🤣
@@vexnuss8199 so close
I’m not a fan of either. But he was lucky to not get called for stalling a lot earlier. He countered when needed, but I hate watching guys like that.
