Carter showed there’s levels to this game. And he’s on his own level by himself. Go ahead and give him the Hodge now bc that dude ain’t losing anyone this season. 🙏🏼

Carter brings it every second of the match. Pressure, Pressure, Pressure!

One man was trained to win. Another man was trained not to lose.

Wade Schalles had a video series called Legal Pain. The whole point was put so much discomfort and pain on your opponent that they want to get pinned or quit

Starocci's cardio breaks people. Relentless shooter.

Mekhi handled a Penn State great, Vincenzo Joseph, for his lone title. Crazy to think how good Carter is if he can do this to Mekhi.

I guess we were watching a different match. Joseph got caught being sloppy reckless and he paid with points. But he didn't get handled. I saw the same thing happen to Spencer and he ended up counting lights. No matter how good you are, you can never be reckless.

Starocci (3 timer) > Mekhi Lewis (1 timer) > Joseph (2 timer) > Isiah martinez (2 timer). Hard not to think in an average weight class that Mekhi is not a 3 timer

Starocci is so crazy. Bro was shooting like he was boutta lose the match with 10 seconds left while up by 7.

This guy has to be the favorite for the Hodge at this point. If this is really his number two matchup at this weight, it's by far the most free weight

Carter is absolutely relentless. He just keeps attacking and bringing endless pressure. His cardio is insane. Guy is very fun to watch!

Carter Starocci with big pressure and a dominant win over former NCAA champion and #2 ranked Micha Lewis spells trouble for every body @ 174. Def a statement win.

The bow and arrow with the toe is covered is dangerous. Official was on top of it. They will need to watch this the way they watched Spencer Lee's arm bars.

Olympics then UFC.

Carter looks completely dialed in and i think he will win his fourth, but lets not forget just last year! Both Spencer and RBY who i believe had the two longest undefeated streaks both lost defending their title and going for number 4 and 3 respectfully. Or Otoole losing too Carr twice during the year then putting it all together when he had too! Literaly anything can happen and as I'm sure you all know wrestling is the one sport where just one mistake can literally cost you everything, but that is also what makes it so great!

This match reminds me of Bo Nickal vs Myles Martin

Or an injury. Let's hope he's healthy enough. Rematch in the quarters.

Im a penn state fan, but man...i felt for mekhi...he was in such obvious pain during this match. I wonder if it would have been a little closer if he wad healthier? Who knows....carter is on another level....

Very impressive but the commentators need more help in their verbiage use. Action was from the start of the match. Fantastic performance

😮 I never expected this match to be like this! Amazing wrestling by these young mean.

4 years ago people were thinking Mekhi Lewis was the next 4 timer after what he did to Vincenzo. Crazy how penn state excels!

BIG gap between one and two….. Carter is a freak and will be something else post wrestling

WOW 😱

Mekhi looked like he got hurt or tweaked something.

Carter already had a bad right knee with it being wrapped so it was injured previously i qould assume.

Proof as to why you should work on your speed explosiveness and strength as much as your technique. There were no secret moves in that match. Just power and explosiveness.

Mekhi obviously injured hasn’t been the same since he won his title. Starocci way ahead of Mekhi.

It was pretty close until the end of the 2nd period. I don't think this was a super beatdown or anything, but Starocci is definitely improving quicker than Lewis.
