    Méndez Is awsome but there are so many young studs coming up. There are three or four guys in that Wright that could medal at the Olympics.

    I dislike the tie goes to latest scorer. Ignoring the “passivity point”, this match was 1:1 takedowns, retherford did not really outscore his opponent

    He didn't have to. These are the rules Zain got the last take down so he didn't have to score anymore. We know Zain can score he was one of the most prolific wrestlers on his feet. But you don't need to take chances if you are winning.

    3rd match of the day for Mendez. Didn't have the energy level needed. It was Zains first match of the day.

    This was so painful to see… I’d feel much more comfortable having Mendez representing USA in the Olympics. Look at the death row of opponents Mendez faced prior and a fresh Zain comes in a BAAAARELY gets it done. Smh

    Mendez didn’t really shoot at all. Besides the shot at the beginning that got him a takedown Jesse didn’t shoot at all. Zain shot way more than Jesse did.

    Zain didn’t do anything. Honestly I believe Zain was a little worried about getting beat by a 19 year old. Especially after he beat yanni. Mendez pushed the pace

    I counted Zain being up on shot attempts before the 1:37 mark, Zain had more total ring generalship time. Last 45 seconds couldn’t had him hit for passivity but it would’ve been for naught.

    haha right, The fact is Mendez didn't get it done. He should have pushed the pace sooner, you cant just expect to win off passivity points. Retherford was on his legs more the Mendez also despite all the pushing around.
