I woulda smacked this fool. As a freshman never wrestled before in my life I placed 2nd in State in California. Placed 1st all three years after that. Broke my knee snowboarding never been the same since.
@@davidgutierrez4606 LOL the level of competition in California is a joke compared to Iowa, and the difference in skill between high school and college is more than you could imagine. Pretty sure an average wrestler from the midwest could dominate in some of those coastal states. Just watch the respective state tournaments of both states and tell me there isn't a massive difference in the wrestling you're seeing.
I remember watching this live when it happened....to see spencer lose the other day hurt my heart....I knew he would be something special after his 1st NCAA championship....GREAT CAREER
Lee is so strong. It's impossible to be in better shape than Suriano, and Lee overpowered him. Given that Lee isn't into weights, one can say that he has wrestling strength.
I am still impressed by this match. The counter by Lee at 4:35 says it all. Great shot by Nick, even greater counter showing strength, speed and flexibility in perfect measures. These are both great athletes. thanks for posting a real treat............
Yeah that was nuts, suriano knows how to finish his shots better than almost anyone in the ncaa...but Lee's so hard to finish on, his scrambling and defense is second to none (except yianni I'd say)...great match, one of my fava
He was on FIRE in the 2018 Nattys. First match, he beat the kid from Oregon State that upset him when he was wrestling unattached, at the Midlands...I believe. Then he pinned Nic Pincinnini of Oklahoma State, then he pinned No.1 seeded Nathan Tomesselo of Ohio State, then he dominated Suriano. Suriano looked good this year at 125lbs., but we'll see what he's really made of when he meets Pat Glory of Princeton. Kids a stud too. But as Good as Suriano looked...he still didn't win EVERY match this year by pin or Tech fall, which Lee did last year, till the Finals if the National Tournament..and he only beat that kid from Arizona State, like 8-2....and he had no ACLS, and couldn't move like he wanted. If he WAS wrestling, and healthy...I'd say he'd (Lee) put it on Nic worse than this tourny.
@@jeffdarnell7942 True Freshman Spencer Lee outscored his opponents like 62-6 or something like that en route to his first national championship. That’s so insane.
I absolutely love the Rutgers finals singlet. I wish Penn State would go with the inverse white with blue they sometimes break out for home meets for finals, those are wicked cool
People who come from these judo wrestling dynasties are just a notch above. Just a mild tighter grip, a bit more clean a technique, this dude's gonna rule the world.
Wow, I think this is the only full match I have seen Lee wrestle and win without using his cross wrist series tilts! His counter to Suriano's single leg was phenomenal.
Well.. he had the skill to hang with him but his strength. It was there, you can tell how he fought thru some of those attacks... incredible strength, but not enough. At a higher more comfortable weight he probably could've fought it off
@@savvy_slick piccininni is an alumni at my school and he came in and weighed after a practice and he weighed 138 and he was like this’ll take like 4 days to cut once I get back to OK
That kid had some full steam ahead parents. I’m trying to be. It’s 5 am and I’m cooking breakfast for my kids getting ready for a tournament this morning
Suriano just never made the college level. I think he now has 9 losses. Decent high school wrestler that just never made the cut. Ref gave him the 2019 NCAA by stopping the match with 9 seconds left.
We all lost respect for Suriano after he quit Penn State. Gilman deflated his ego so much it made him feel like he didn't belong. Now at Rutgers he gets beat by a true freshman. Even in New Jersey where he avoided the Super32 and protected his record we all knew he wouldn't make it as an NCAA champion. The Fix match was a gift. What ref stops a match with seconds left when a wrestler is legged in and working?!?!?! WOW!!! Spencer Lee is a great wrestler he just needs to keep working like he has up to this point.
I always like Frank Molinaro choosing down against Kyle Dake. Suraino basically surrendered to Lee by going neutral. At least Molinaro said fuck it and went to win.
@@jt519 I don't know why Cael let Suriano walk, but a huge mistake it was. PSU for some reason really struggles with keeping or recruiting high level guys at 125lb. Conversely I'm sure the Brands brothers rolled out the red carpet for Lee!! Lee has reinvigorated the Hawykeyes. I couldn't believe when Lee signed with Iowa, I would have bet the bank he was headed to Pa. The reasoning is unbelievable, happy for Lee and all his success, but I to would like to have saw him in blue/white!! They say hindsight is 20/20.
@NCAA Championships do you think we could see more posts from prior to 2010? I only say that because a lot of great matches from the last decade exist on here already. I think it would be great to see, for example, Abas vs Strittmatter of Iowa in 2001. 13-10 sounds for the title sounds like a match people would love to see!
Lee, Gilman, Fix, Tomasello… the 2019 NCAA final when the ref stopped the match Suriano was losing with only 9 seconds left?!?!?! It was a gift. Did they mention 11th grade Suriano was easily beaten by 9th grader Lee in the Super32. Handing (LMAO) undefeated Suriano his 3rd loss in high school. But again - not one that reflects on his NJ record.
@@yourdaddy6030 Talking about the 2019 finals at 125lbs. - Fix was legged in and working Suriano - one point up with 9 seconds left and the ref stopped the match... Suriano's win was a gift. If the match had not been stopped Fix would have easily won the match.
Suriano was awesome in high school. We really expected him to be a 3-4X NCAA chamion. Gilman educated him his freshman year and Lee his sophmore year. Then the ref gifted him the match with Fix by stopping the match with seconds left his junior but I think he earned his NCAA title this season at 25 years old vs Junior Patrick Glory.
Suriano peaked in high school - he even quit the Super32 in high school after a underclass man beat him - I think it was Fix. Then he quit Penn State after Gilman beat him. He quit Rutgers after Lee beat him.
Finally I haven’t seen this since it actually happened , more 2018

Hey Jordan! We're working on it.

Wouldn’t he weigh 133 already? I wonder if say spencer lee is wrestling at 125, what does he weigh during actually wrestling someone.

Playing the Pokémon intro after u win is crazy 😂

Spencer Lee is the reason suriano moved up in weight he knew Lee would win everytime
I would love to see them wrestling TODAY
You may get it with Olympics coming up lee and suriano would have to face eachother
I think Lee is even better than he was
Spencer "not technically a chicken wing" Lee.
HE JUST MADE THE OLYMPICS🤩
just lost too 😿
Great match with great wrestlers.
The battle of the knee replacements 😂
Two legends. Awesome match
Suriano looked at him like oh shit 3:25
Way to go, Spencer!

Im glad they got to come over from the Women's basketball game to catch the 2nd & 3rd periods.
I still can’t believe he got pinned in his final college match.
