The stall calls were insane, no way these calls should’ve been made.

DeSanto is a freakin supervillain dude I love it

The double stall was not necessary. They don't call it in upper weight matches, where they always hang on each other. Let em wrestle, refs!!

I’ve seen two Suriano matches this year. He lost both and both had incredibly questionable reffing.

how are you going to give a double stall call after Suriano shot twice and Desanto shot once

That double stall call really favored DeSanto. Suriano is much more likely to be called for stalling in general because of his style against ranked guy (he takes more time setting up his shots, is generally looking to ride more than to turn, etc.). Not surprising that bit him in the 3rd period. Would like to see Suriano face a top guy and have the points be limited to offensive scoring and escapes.

Desanto be like "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"

Hawk fan, the stall points on Suriano were bs. Maybe one but three?

These BS stalling calls are straight up ruining these highly anticipated super matches … hope they clean up before the Championships roll around

Desanto straight to the wwe

The refs deciding a match like that is a shame. Let the boys wrestle

nick suriano consistently being done over by phantom points

Not gonna lie. The look Suriano gives at 7:23 sent chills down my spine.

I know Desanto is an emotional being and receives a lot for that, but that is who he is. He wouldn't be in the position he is in without being what made him great.

Don't agree with the double stall call and the second one was questionable. But credit to DeSantos for having a little more in the tank and getting the last second two.

I saw one worthy stalling call

kickass flurry at the end there by desanto

Not sure if DeSanto is all their in the head, but he can sure wrestle hard all 7 minutes.

Bout time they post this

Some people don’t like Desanto but I love that kid man

I score it Suriano 4 Desanto 3 Refs 2

I really like DeSantos pace.

Hilarious that BRANDS is trying to calm someone down. Great stuff! DeSanto might be from PA but he's tailor-made for IA Wrestling.

The ref not digging IOWA for a point after brands runs on the mat just shows bias. That is unacceptable behavior

Refs must hate suriano first the fix match now this..

Thanks for posting these matches, and just a friendly suggestion, please add the date of the match in the title or more info section.

The calls were insane, especially the double stall call.

The greatest wrestlers keep looking to score even when they are up

Suriano was great in high school. Gilman beating him when he was at Penn State put him in a tailspin. His match against Fix was a gift.

2 of my favorite new age wrestlers. Love the moxie desanto has

Has to feel good, keep it up 💪🏻

I love watching this kid.

I love this kids passion!

Love this Energy from DeSanto

I’m a DeSanto fan but damn Suriano got shitted on by the refs

Thumbs down to the refs.. Double stall? Those guys were wrestling hard on the first call.

11 seconds between stall calls??? Didn't know that was possible. SMH

Great match.

I dont know how many people know that deSanto defeated the #1 top seed in Hs state final that was already a 3 time state champion that never lost in HS before that...and the wrestler from Rutgers was undefeated in HS as well...wonder if he knew that before the match because top tier wrestlers are a small group of people that here the names of other top wrestlers especially when they are top ranked nationally

Austin Desanto is the epitome of Iowa Style Wrestling.

I honestly thought Suriano had them. The rematch at the tourney should be interesting

Reminds me of Iowa matches long ago. It's like the refs get into the Iowa style themselves, and reward the pushing, tie-ups, and not attempting actual scoring techniques with watching the OTHER guy for stalling. The Refs are affected by the immense pressure from the crowd and give in to pleasing them. Then the opponent will get frustrated and not wrestle as well. You can see it on Suriano's face in this one when he looks at the ref-- it's accurate as he knows things are not in balance or fair. I'm not even favoring him over Iowa-- I have been a huge fan of many Iowa guys and Gable inspired me over and over... AND he usually tried to score, not just push. Somewhere over the years it transferred to shoving until the opponent is tired and THEN you finally attempt to score. The only way to be fair is to stand your ground as a ref and sometimes that's going to disappoint the crowd. They're only human, so I can see where it would be tough to not give in with all that hype there... I mean DeSanto simply pulls his leg away from a Suriano shot in the beginning and the crowd goes wild. That can happen in any other match, hundreds of times with most crowds giving slight applause but patient enough to wait and see what else happens. DeSanto has been coached to do the same as the past Iowa guys-- if you're going to stall, at least stall pushing forward. After a few minutes of that, it's still not wrestling. It's not even entertaining.

Way to be there coach! Good stuff at the end there from the Iowa staff.

2022!

Double stall call wasn't necessary. Desanto's pace wore Nick down a bit. They will meet again. Does Nick look not as technically sound as he did at Penn State or is it that he has been facing more hammers at 133? All in all both tough kids.

i disagree with one of the stall calls although, you're not supposed to hang on the legs, and you're supposed to be trying to return the guy to mat and not just trying tick away at the clock. ultimately desanto did not need the points but that doesn't mean the ref doesn't get in your head.

I wanna know what desanto said to him at the end of the match

How would Randy Lewis fare against Spencer Lee at 125lb?, or Austin Desanto at 133lb?. Would it be close or has technique and conditioning changed to favor these young men?

Austin love u bro

Nick suriano for the title. I can see it. I know he can too. Iowa always gets extra points at home we all know. Still my favorite team though... But Nick is definitely my pick for the title

The guy with the meme page always pulls through

Desanto is the real deal, Suriano is a beast but having a hard time with officials this year aye.

Dudes wrestling safe like a gold medal is on the line

1:38 look at the guy in the iowa hat on the phone waving and blowing kisses😏

Tom Brands looking like Captain Kirk in that sweater lol

i miss this desanto where did he go

Stall calls 🤦🏾‍♂️

This match proves Desanto isn’t so much of the “the villain” he is the hero

At the Big10s Suriano avenged this loss. Will these two meet in Pittsburgh and who will prevail?

I like watching DeSanto wrestle. But I wish he didn’t act like a jerk so often

I hate to see him lose but no matter what Suriano always loses with class. The look in his eyes when he shook hands at the end was the look of defeat, but he got his revenge and won a natty.

the announcer lisp has me dead :)

133's this year is stacked and for good reason. Not sure who is going to win this year NCAA's.

Desanto for life!

Quick call on the stalls and on the last second takedown. That match should have gone to overtime.

Edit out the coaches yelling what the kids already know. They are phenoms.

Was this for the championship?

Desanto is a beast!!!

I think Suriano got robbed there. He was just as active as Desanto.

(copied from the dual meet video post) Scouting DeSanto is both easy and difficult -- on the one hand, expect 200% forward pace every damn second. On the other hand, yea -- good luck keeping up with that pace! Thinking that you can try to close DeSanto in the third period is like expecting to finally convince the judges in the 5th round against Nick Diaz! Suriano looked like he was still in "Fix-mode," thinking DeSanto might be content to just hand fight. DeSanto isn't interested in criteria and has no reverse gear. He forces your offense like the pickiest of MLB sluggers -- throw a strike or I'll literally walk over you. Also Suriano played right into DeSanto's strength to stand and basically brawl, instead of create movement, use fakes, vary attacks and overwhelm DeSanto with attack angles. The playbook on DeSanto is starting to look like this: if you don't make a statement in the first period and bank some ride time(drain his tank a little), then expect an earful when it's finally over and you can breathe.

I see lots of anger from Desanto as he "SLAPS" hard with ties ups and hand fighting.

What’s on nicks chin strap

I'm really starting to like this guy. Tough, big heart.

They may have made a mistake telling Suriano to cut him. I get the reasoning, however: Suriano is damn solid on his feet.

It was the chin cup, suriano had to much extra weight and drag on his head

How does one stall while on top? Never seen it

Nothing like the pump from wrestling at home

So much for all the people saying “I can’t wait til Suriano gets ahold of this kid. He’s mentally unstable and gonna get worked”

If you dont call Suriano for stalling nothing is going to happen. Consider it a favor to everyone watching.

Regressed since the transfer

Reminiscent of his last high school match

What people on this thread need to realize, Seth Gross, or no Seth Gross, the 133 lb. weight class will be the toughest to win at the NCAAs. There will be no "sure bets" this upcoming March in Pittsburgh. DeSanto won this battle over Suriano. It does not mean he won the war. This will definitely be a possible matchup in March.

Desanto can be the next Ironside. But he's gotta get his head right.

Michigan wrestling W

Favorite part is when he yells in nick’s ear

Although I don't agree w/ that double stall call, Suriano wrestles to defensive & to safe... Open up a little dude, probably would have beat Desantoif you wrestled a little harder.

STUD

Once again Nick Suriano cant win the big matches he just doesnt show up. Desanto isnt even really considered a true contender for the national title. Most people figure Desanto will be lucky to place top 8 and get All American honors. While Suriano on the other hand was runner up to Spencer Lee last season. Desanto is a lot of fun to watch and Suriano is the excact oposite, I mean seriously Suriano never lets loose in big matches. He is always wrestling NOT TO LOSE while a guy like Desanto is WRESTLING FOR THE WIN !!!

What’s on nicks chin

Nick had better takedowns and overall offense and cardio when he was at Penn State.

I don’t like how this one was scored.

Rutger coaches on there period

Maybe I am biased, being a former PA wrestler myself, but Desanto represents the essence of fire, hard work and skill that makes the sport of wrestling great. Kid is epic, period.

nick is jacked.

iowa was running for the line at 6:50 and then at 7:00--he should have gotten called for stalling.

I don't know who has worse officiating the NFL or the NCAA

According to the rules those stalling calls might be justified but it didn't look like stalling to me!

Desanto is the Colby Covington of wresting !

Они че накаты не делают

It might of been a teammate of Suriano in high school that Desanto defeated in the State final that already was a current undefeated 3 time state champion going for his 4th state title when Desanto won...and it was extremely similar to this match where it was the very last seconds that he pulled it off...if my memory serves me correctly...I'm not making any accusations but this was suspect officiating to me and stuff like this can ruin careers...almost like the ref did everything in his power to help Desanto win....1 loss can change seeds for championships...this match was not kosher in my book...but I am not trying to take anything away from DeSanto wrestling ability...watch his match on KZfaq when he beat the undefeated wrestler for his state title...and you tell me what you think
