That was not a td! BS call.

Man, doesn't matter what the refs did, Mac got handled this day. Marianetti is a freaking big ass guy for this weight.

[JesusManson323]

WTF?

One leg = a takedown?

What planet was this match from?

[HighHeadJim]

@JesusManson323 he had two. you can see his hand being peeled off of his right leg by mcillravy as the ref calls 2.

there's a great feature on this match in the most recent issue of 'amateur wrestling news.'

Refs always prematurely hit Iowa opponents for stalling. Refs always gave Iowa the opportunity to let wreslters go while they had control of the head or arm to re-shoot. Which means it was not an escape that allowed Iowa to just continue to score.

Marianetti slays the mythical Iowa mulleted monster when it counts > in the finals for the championship. Character counts and though Mcllravy exhibits extraordinary strength, conditioning and textbook Iowa aggresiveness, his lack of character was exhibited when he pushed the Canadians hand away from a handshake in his fair and square OT loss in Olympic semi's. When the going gets toughest, character reaches deep and prevails

[Lmnopen929]

the calls were legit, I would have made the same.

[gbfareal24]

the first call was bs but he would have gotten the takedown anyway but they should have call stalling on the other guy in the second peeriod

[pirateLboogie]

It was two, if you rewatch it...as soon and Lincoln's knees hit the match Marianetti has one hand up around his waist and another down on the leg, thats two and it doesnt matter what happens after that.

Im sorry, not the first call that takedown of marrianettis was the bullsnhit call I was referring to. He only had one leg and thats not even a controversial situation, it happens all the time in college and highschool wrestling and Ive never seen it called a takedown before. And then the ref calls a double stall on marienetti when mcllavery wasnt even trying to get out. Wtf is that!

[sbenson97]

okay, first: god is in the details and mother is the name of god on every child's lips. brass tacks; we musn't allow this simple sloth dictate our work, to the books, gentleman - correct spelling: "Lincoln McIlravy" and "Steve Marianetti" (but the US Post Office does accept "Stephen", so i grudgingly, will too.) as for "the first takedown call in the 3rd" being "shitty" comment? son, it's about exhibiting control, which was demonstrated, good enough for the NCAA, and us too.

[LoStNuMbErZ]

that first takedown call in the 3rd was a shitty call he only had one leg
