They are. They have access to the internet, better medical and nutritional resources. I wrestled from '77 to '90, if I'd seen a shin wizzer or shoulder dump, cement mixer, etc when I was 59lbs. It would have helped. Wrestling is infinitely more popular too, MMA gives a goal for professional aspirations. Before it was only WWF (😅)
They are certainly more well rounded . The good guys used to be good at more conventional moves and not everyone was a scrambler or good tactical athlete . Guys had their big moves and they were more common. Watch the NCAA finals . It’s not just having a good double or being able to ride anymore. So many winning takedowns are those footsweeps and crazy trips etc. and everyone in the top ten has them. It’s truly a shoot out and guys win on those big moves that aren’t exactly what they are known for .
I was just discussing this with someone. They definitely have! No wonder either just think of all the resources available these days. Hell, these two probably watched each other on TH-cam everyday to help prepare for this lol
I think Jesse has topped out for the time being! I hope Coach Ryan can relight the fire that Mendez once had, he reminds me of Chad Red another 4 timer from Indiana that did good in college but never maxed out his potential.
Both are really good but, Swiderski is just that guy right now. They will be completely different in college, so it will be exciting to see a potential rematch in the future. Good job guys.
19 years of being a competitor and spectator . I will never cease to be amazed how much psychology goes into these types of matches . 4 time state champion vs 4 time champ . I don’t think the levels of wrestling where they won are dissimilar. It’s just so crazy to see someone dominate someone with the equal credentials .
@@Leveer13Mendez is expected to be 133 next year and Swiderski to be 141 so there is a size difference. Mendez wrestled 132 this offseason and Swiderski could not make that weight, not a chance. I get you're a fan but stop being delusional
That was a pretty good beat down,of a guy who was a 4 time state champ!WOW!! Swaderski going to make some noise at IOWA STATE!Word is ,he's going year 1 ,no red shirt!Impressive offense, but even more impressive defense!Mendez never even was close to scoring off a shot! Kudos to him to go to Iowa State,when he probably had offers at P.S,IOWA,and the rest of the top teams.Going to have some great work out partners,and a great leader to follow in Carr!Look out for State,could be top 5 team if things go right!
So Flo Wrestling just put out another documentary about Mendez, and even used clips from the who's #1 match as if he won that match. I remember rolling my eyes when the commentators were acting like Casey had zero chance to win that match. Now they look even more ridiculous.
El escenario estaba muy bien: y el combate fue bueno, tuve que ver el primer ataque dos veses,hubo muchas destreza, rapidez y flexibilidad en ambos luchadores
How much weight do these guys cut? I'm not a wrestler so normally I just compete in sports at my walk around weight, I wonder if it could have negative affects on your body when kids this young are doing it
these 2 wreslters were originally 138lbs when competing in highschool so they both had to gain weight to compete at 145....walking around weight is probably 5-10lbs more and isn't hard to cut at all
@@dougmuntz1186 no way lmao i wrestle at region with Jesse Mendez and he walks around at 145 on a bad day cause hes constantly competing at 132.... im not sure about casey but i do know hes alot heavier and cut a ton to be at 145
Hey watch your mouth about Kevin Dresser. The man was a beast of a coach in high school. Va Tech he won multiple AAC championships and had his team top 10 year in and year out! They where also top 4 at one point. Now he is gonna roll on at Iowa State. Why do you think Metcafe is helping coach there?!?
OSU gets another defensive wrestler. I know this kid probably woosh this event but OSU does not shoot except Karch, Smith Sr gone? Iowa did not shoot during the tourney either. He better get with Stiebs and ask to be fed. Gallagher's a shooter.
Mendes is a fraud #1 national wrestler. He didn’t take one committed shot in the entire match. How did he become a 4x state champ???…….by beating a bunch of girls???
2 elite wrestlers going at it. Fun to watch. 20 years ago I wouldn’t think guys coming out of high school could be this good.
ummmmm cael sanderson?
@@Thetruth-mk7sr In general
For real. The elite high schoolers are ready to go right away these days
Maybe I'm just getting old, but these wrestlers seem to be getting better every year.
I think MMA has ignited a golden age of American wrestling. The kids are fucking incredible these days.

No shit. Every old ass wrestler says this. Maybe there’s more people and more opportunities to wrestle
How does flo still have Mendez ranked ahead of swiderski after this, way too political.
Agreed
Jesse is 138
Swiderski usually 145 or above in mi
@@muzzyjk I'm talking pound for pound

lol relax he'll be fine. Swiderskis a monster
@@piercegladfelter3784 yea still prolly shouldn’t have got beat like that though
Mendes is a weight up. I like Casey’s style better though.
@@jinxbtw3773 No doubt things could go different if they meet again in college. Jesse is still a meast but Swidirski is just that guy rn
Swiderski is just better
Both are really good but, Swiderski is just that guy right now. They will be completely different in college, so it will be exciting to see a potential rematch in the future. Good job guys.
Swiderski looks like the larger wrestler. Who knows what weight class they'll settle in, but I don't think they'll be the same in two years.
They're ready to go right away. Mendes at 41 and swidirski at 49
19 years of being a competitor and spectator .
I will never cease to be amazed how much psychology goes into these types of matches .
4 time state champion vs 4 time champ .
I don’t think the levels of wrestling where they won are dissimilar. It’s just so crazy to see someone dominate someone with the equal credentials .
Incredible production👍
I think Mendez was too small to take this rematch, Swiderski got bigger and Mendez is still a small 138 pounder
I live in Dundee. Swiderski is not bigger. He wrestled up all year. He is really that good.

This… this is why you don't blow things out of the water
Damn I wasn’t expecting to see Mendez get beat like that. He’s still a beast though. Never seen Swiderski wrestle, he’s pretty fucking good haha.
awesome!! now post caleb henson's match

That was a beat down. Mendez definitely the smaller guy. Swiderski looks like a good sized 141. Not that it mattered tho. That was domination.
Gotta be going 49 I’d say
This isn't the first time he won against the future buckeye.
Go Vikings.
Mendez will be fine when he hits the weight program at Ohio State!!
This comment aged well.
Wish these two were teammates
Basic question: Neither athlete is wearing ear protection..are 'cauliflower ears' no longer a medical issue?
Interesting they didn’t give the guy an escape when they both had the legs close to the end of the first.
Two absolute hammers but swiderski needs to cut that damn hair lol. Blowing it out of his eyes all match 🤣
Post Caleb Henson match plz
Who ever was on the scoreboard for our screen is so bad
Yeah took over a minute to update the escape was ridiculous
They both will be great college wrestlers. I doubt they meet in college . Mendez is a 133 ,Swilderski will be a 141 or 149.
I got Casey winning a natty this year
Bruh, fire the score keeper. Over here taking YEARS to update the points

Mendez took one shot the entire time
It's hard to shoot on someone who is constantly attacking you. Casey has one gear. GO.
