I saw all four of Nick's matches on flow today and I was astonished. He literally beat two grown men today, and I still don't know how he did it. In his first win over Alan Waters he tossed him for four points. Took him down again on a go behind, then leg laced him for six more points and a tech fall. In his third match he beat Shelton Mack a former Pitt wrestler and three time NCAA qualifier, 9-8. Nick took him down several times and suprising to me, his freestyle tactics and mat awareness surpassed the veteran Mack.
In his two losses, one to former NCAA champ Jason Ness and one to former Northern Iowa wrestler Joey Lazer he looked overmatched against two veterans. All-in-all it was a great showing for Nick. Wrestling high caliber matches like this will be great for his progress.
I heard on flow that he had a Japanese gold medalist in his corner. I don't know what the deal is there, but that sounds like a good thing.
