I’ve seen this match several times and it hypes me up every time seeing zain win against a two time national champ in an arena filled with a roaring crowd!
@@paulh.7598 ??? How were the "biased?" That's nonsense. They were praising Retherford and talking about an upset...which it objectively was(as Stieber proved later that year). One of the biggest upsets in the regular season of College Wresting history.
@@scourge8097 Wow! Biased FOR Stieber, here is the evidence and watch again looking for the announcers' comments. This video is 15:15 in length and the first positive comment about Retherford comes at 5:04, so let's listen for the comments before then, shall we? In less than 4 seconds into the match, the announcers say, we talked about him in the open, Logan Stieber two time national champion and only a junior. :28 seconds in, this is certainly tough duty for a freshman. Retherford is 10-0 but has not met the top wrestlers in weight class. What a way to get introduced to the top echelon. At 1:11 What Stieber does so well is attack guy from the top position. After the takedown, announcers say, Stieber has to be the answer for Ohio State, at 1:35 great opportunity for Ohio State to get bonus points back. Stieber rides as well as anyone in the country and gets what he wants. At 2:23, What separates Logan Stieber is no cheap escapes, which was said just before Retherford ends up escaping, now match is 2-1 Stieber. Announcers go on when you talk about separation between the first ranked wrestler and the rest at the 141lb weight class there is a huge separation. Retherford is ranked #8 but we are going to see where he really belongs after this match. At 3:06, not too many people get to Stiebers legs. At 3:51, I wonder if Stieber regrets letting him out so easily [remember Stieber does not give up cheap escapes as if Stieber let Retherford escape]. At 4:28 What I like about Stieber is he is not afraid of anything; Stieber gets after it, goes after it, he is one of the best and not afraid of the challenge. At 4:53 announcers comparing Stieber to Dake with move up of weight class and they say Stieber moved up a weight class like Dake, great to see our NCAA champions to provide more entertainment for the sport because they are such wonders. Now at 5:04 for the first time in the match up till then, Retherford puts in legs and starts to ride Stieber and announcer says, look what Retherford is doing, I am STARTING to believe. Can you answer your own question now how they were biased for the first 5 minutes? I hope this helps not with nonsense but with evidence, watch again while you track comments above, yes they change their tune much later in the match when they realize their favorite wrestler who is so much better than all the wrestlers in his weight class loses not very long into sudden death when Retherford gets a take down on their wrestler who they said earlier 3:06 that not too many wrestlers can get to his legs.
One hell of a match, Im from Ohio and big Buckeyes fan but a bigger fan of the sport and love to see a good match like this... he deserves to br ranked #1 now..... I Watched him vs Iowa also and this win wasn't a fluke.... this kid is the real deal He likes to interlace the fingers with his outside hand when getting hand control during the tie, you don't see that everyday
MagicDr pico said fuck college wrestling thats too easy lets go for gold aaron pico is a monster crazy to think how young he is and the guys that he is dominating
steibers coaches are good at complaining and giving him 5 minutes to rest after Zain EASILY road him out. steiber would have 100% been more fatigued than Zain was after the 2nd
I think the Ohio state coach just wanted to give His wrestler some rest after being rode like a dog, knowing full well a challenge was going to resolve nothing
Something I never noticed in this video before was the announcer saying this match was a great opportunity for Ohio State to score some bonus points. LOL
I think this challenge was a brilliant piece of gamesmanship and Retherford's failure to simply stand there during the review is a symptom of its success.
That first stalling call was bogus. That ref shouldn't even been doing grade school wrestling matches. Literally attack and attack and gets hit with a stalling call?? That's a joke
Logan Steiber: the worst of the 4 timers. Steiber LOST to Jordan Oliver and still somehow "won" the title, plus Ramos pinned him in another title bout.
Damn...I think that refs having mental issues, calling the Zain Train for STALLING, right after that tie-up between these 2 is insane. Course the potentially dangerous call wasn't potentially dangerous, unless you were worried about Zain getting stuck, because he was ABOUT to be put on his back!! That would HAVE to be the strangest site...seeing Zain Retherford, being on his back. I have to say, he's probably the most Dominant of ALL those great PSU Wrestlers during that time. I mean...him, Nolf, Ruth, Nickal...how do you RANK those studs...
odd????? Wheres the beef? Conspicuously missing on YT is the Natty consultation for that yr that weight not to mention Stieber vs Tony Ramos at Carver Hawk eye....Rutherford/Stieber 2.....Where oh where has the video gone, oh where oh where could it be? Lets ask Neo or Morpheus.
@@natestakely1478 Yeah, he ONLY won 3 titles and took a 5th as a true Freshmen. Retherford-Wrestled as a True Freshmen, 2X Hodge winner Stieber-4X Champ, 1 Hodge...1 gifted title in 2012 when Oliver should have had a TD.
@@natestakely1478 PSU has on it's team right now a Wrestler who's going for his 2nd, one who's going for their 3rd, one going for the 4th and one going for their 5th while their HWT is ranked #1 as a Soph and they've got a LOADED recruiting class coming in. OSU's super-class better not Chris Phillips the bed again.
I noticed big time. My friends son is Aaron Pico's friend and I remember their first couple of matches. I think he was shocked at how good Pico was. Then he closed the gap like nobody's business. He's a handful now for anybody.
4:51 if they quad pod and you can't get legs in 4:56 cross legs and power half if they stand 1 leg up 5:12 put both legs in when you have a clear oppurtunity 5:32 body F4 and power half 6:54 putting legs in while they're in quad pod
Yes he was sick, my comment states that he was taken off an I.V before this match. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he go on two win his 4 NCAA national championship. The 4th ever in history?
Is he somehow exempt? I thought the NCAA athletes were tested across all sports. He's stronger than other kids, that was the statement before he got to college. Danny Hodge was, too - sometimes it happens. Doesn't mean he'll stay clean his whole career if he gets far internationally - I can't imagine international freestyle is anything remotely close to clean.
they aren't tested often but somebody like a dake or steiber 100% would think or be doping compared to other wrestlers, dake wasn't a nice person by ANY MEANS and they know the whole country is waiting to give them one of their first losses. andeley probably barely follows sports, let alone ncaa wrestling

@@spirestocksnotification6710 way too much free time brother
He would end up becoming a 3 time champ, one of my all time favorites to watch he will be missed in college wrestling
It’s crazy how much better Zain got his last 3 years in college.
Zain's humble enthusiasm is awesome. You have to love watching a kid who you know is having a blast on the mat.
One hell of a match, Im from Ohio and big Buckeyes fan but a bigger fan of the sport and love to see a good match like this... he deserves to br ranked #1 now..... I Watched him vs Iowa also and this win wasn't a fluke.... this kid is the real deal

The first Zain match I saw was him versus Pico. Pico made him look like an amateur. It's clear Zain is good, but it's scary to think how good Pico is

This comment has aged well
@@killazerg1 lol crazy how much changes in 7 years
Never will I forget about this one. Have to watch it every time it pops up.
Really tough matchup here... thanks for uploading this!
lol NFL has really started something with this replay system even wrestling is getting it
I think the Ohio state coach just wanted to give His wrestler some rest after being rode like a dog, knowing full well a challenge was going to resolve nothing
Exactly!!
Yeah that’s a fact 😓
This is when you know zain was going to be a beast
Something I never noticed in this video before was the announcer saying this match was a great opportunity for Ohio State to score some bonus points. LOL
This Zain kid has a bright future. 😉
Two outstanding wrestlers.
Retherford wrestles a very unconventional -- even strange -- agressive way. I'm guessing Steiber was surprised. I suspect he'll be ready next time.
Looking forward to Stieber/Retherford II in Madison at the Big Ten's.
There is nothing like winning a huge match in a dual meet versus a rival at home! Crazy environment, wish I was there!
Nice to see these three-time champs go at it!
retherford looks all tweaked out lol 0_0
I think this challenge was a brilliant piece of gamesmanship and Retherford's failure to simply stand there during the review is a symptom of its success.
Tom Ryan and Cael Sanderson are on my list and should be on everyone’s list of people you want on your team in any fight, any place, any time.
anybody have the big ten or NCAA's match between these two
That first stalling call was bogus. That ref shouldn't even been doing grade school wrestling matches. Literally attack and attack and gets hit with a stalling call?? That's a joke
Zain going to the Olympics had to watch this
Great match! Nice upset of champ by true freshman!
This will be a classic match after Zain is done at PSU. Maybe already :0)
Good call man!
I'm a fan this guy is intense!!!!
What a match!
Even the announcers were saying it was a “great opportunity for Ohio St. to get some bomus points back”
wow what a match!!
Zain will take 3rd. Logan gets his 3rd title. Ncaa
Zain took 5th, Logan took the semi 7-3
Rob Gallagher Zain lost to Mitchell Port 3-1 in the tiebreakers
Logan Steiber: the worst of the 4 timers. Steiber LOST to Jordan Oliver and still somehow "won" the title, plus Ramos pinned him in another title bout.
Could this be the next 141 NCAA Championship match?
***** Not if Zain is the number 4 seed and Stieber is number 2 :)
Yes
This was GREAT!!!
Another 24 year old 5th year senior from Ohio losing to an 19 year old true Freshman from Pa.
It's nice to see the Cael was awake for this one.
Nice match
why was the reporter groping the shit out of his neck tho...

I think you meant Steiber getting put on his back/stuck.
Yeah but it pushed him to wrestle & he won!
At 14:14 Logans head was on his knee, why didn't Zain cradle him?
I go to Logan Stiebers school and there is a big trophy case designated to him
Ok
Is their really?
Hi
the best
How was this in 2013 when zain graduated in 2018
Little did they know what zain would become
I want to see him wrestle Chris Dardanes.
wow, 3min of rest for Stieber. Can't stand such long reviews.
odd????? Wheres the beef? Conspicuously missing on YT is the Natty consultation for that yr that weight not to mention Stieber vs Tony Ramos at Carver Hawk eye....Rutherford/Stieber 2.....Where oh where has the video gone, oh where oh where could it be? Lets ask Neo or Morpheus.
Anyone else here after watching Nick Lee v Luke Pletcher?
Go zain
Call the ref for stalling
Tom Ryan wishes he was Cael Sanderson.
Zain Retherford was one of the best mat wrestlers in NCAA history.
yes that's why hes a 4 (oh wait) nevermind
@@natestakely1478 Yeah, he ONLY won 3 titles and took a 5th as a true Freshmen.
Retherford-Wrestled as a True Freshmen, 2X Hodge winner

Zain Train!!!!!!
what was that name.......oh......right....aaron pico.....
4:51 if they quad pod and you can't get legs in

5:32 body F4 and power half
6:54 putting legs in while they're in quad pod
Ok
If the ref doesn't call potentially dangerous in the 1st this is a whole different match
Let's not forget Logan is still a 4x NCAA Champion
David Gilbert he shouldn’t be. Oliver got screwed so bad in the finals they changed the rules after that match.
would still be a 3 time lol
David Gilbert but Zain beat him
Ryan Z fuck you
Ryan Z I not scared of you
Lets not forget that Logan Steiber was just taken off an I.V because he was really sick
Let's not make excuses lol
Then he shouldn't have wrestled silly.
its not excuses, its facts silly.
Hunter Ross Sounds like an excuse. Was Logan sick when he wrestled?
Yes he was sick, my comment states that he was taken off an I.V before this match. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he go on two win his 4 NCAA national championship. The 4th ever in history?
referford needs drug tested
He's a zain-iac
Is he somehow exempt? I thought the NCAA athletes were tested across all sports.
He's stronger than other kids, that was the statement before he got to college. Danny Hodge was, too - sometimes it happens.
Doesn't mean he'll stay clean his whole career if he gets far internationally - I can't imagine international freestyle is anything remotely close to clean.
they aren't tested often but somebody like a dake or steiber 100% would think or be doping compared to other wrestlers, dake wasn't a nice person by ANY MEANS and they know the whole country is waiting to give them one of their first losses. andeley probably barely follows sports, let alone ncaa wrestling
Kolat would destroy Zain
