Darrell Vasquez vs. Jacob Palomino

The most historic match in California State history. Senior Palomino was attempting to become the first four-time state champ in CA. Vasquez, a junior at the time, was looking to stop him so he could be the first four timer the following year

3x state champ Matt Ciasulli from Easton,Pa whooped Vazquez around like a ragdoll when he beat him 15-5 in 2002

@GangzxtaD Yeah, but I doubt very much that was WHY he changed weights; wrestlers--all of em, try to get down to the lowest weight they can and still be strong. Far from doing something wrong, he knew he would be taking on a great opponent, and stood up to the challenge.

@jimenezr34 i think it was 19's? it says it on the score thing that gets flashed to over the course of the match.

didnt vazquez change weights just to stop palomino from becoming the four time state champ? if so he is a douchebag lol what if he would have got injured/lost his senior year lol

I love that there's finally video out there of this match, I've always wanted to see it. Probably the most thrilling 0-0 match I've ever seen, and wouldn't you know it, the wrestler trying to become the first 4X CA state champ ultimately loses on a freshman mistake (locking hands). But Vasquez earned it, he was undoubtably the aggressor throughout. Great match!

[jimenezr34]

any one know the weight class?
