It sucks when officials lose he match for a guy.

man did Poeta get hosed here... not that Leen didnt wrestle a great match

[xhairs9]

i disagree with Jordan Leen here, it's kind of bull shit he was allowed to stand up from a knee so many times eating up almost 5 seconds a piece without actually getting called or penalized. That's a tad bit ridiculous :/

[RBB1965]

@kingbey0610 Where do idiots like you come from? It's obvious you are some kind of Illinois nut hugger and have no clue about wrestling. I'm sure you know more about officiating than BOTH of the referees on the mat. Christ!!

[doubleleg42]

Yeah especially since Leen dove out the same way Poeta did after Poeta got to Leen's leg.

[canthelpitimaguy]

i agree that there was a take down for Poeta...but there was defiantly fleeing the mat against Poeta. there is no doubt that that was a good call.

[Lexiloser]

It was a late call, a wrong call, and somehow it didn't get changed. Pretty crooked if you ask me. At least Poeta got a little bit of revenge the next year by beating Leen in the semifinal.

[razegfx]

why'd the ref call the fleeing after poeta's reshot? just a late call?

[jtorres133]

It was close. I can see why the ref called it fleeing. Poeta did go out of bounds but reshot at the edge for the two and got it and I feel Poeta earned it the two tho.

[jtorres133]

Ya I don't think that point given to Lean was fare because Poeta took a shot again at the edge of the mat and almost got the two. Both his feet were in and he showed control I don't know why the ref didn't give him two for that. He def. shouldn't have given a point to Lean for fleeing the mat tho.
