Heres the thing, maybe maybe not...but yianni for some reason always find a way to win...I dont know why but he does...lets say that he didnt score that two...I wouldnt be surprised if he immediately scored to a few seconds later, it's weird watch his matches he just finds a way...its not tangible but he has a lot of matches that he "should" have lost...I'm not saying it was the right call, and im.not say it's fair but I think some people are.just born winners and figure it out somehow...
McKenna didn’t get robbed lol. Yianni got robbed of a takedown in the 2nd which should’ve been called a takedown. Yianni would’ve been robbed if McKenna win lol
Why did McKenna get a warning for stalling but Yianni's whole thing is defending a shot and turning it into his own take down. I saw him attempt to shoot way less
Gabe Roderick well yeah I guess my point exactly. The other guys didn’t shoot hardly at all. If I can tell that, how come the refs can’t. Specially with it being known that he’s a counter specialist
yeah if you look up dpsbreakdowns on TH-cam he did a whole video on that move and it's the same move he did at the end of the third period. it took me like 4 months to actually understand what he did lol
@@darealalia9408 how was robbed of 4? you want a takedown and back points with little to no real control and no time to account for. its ludicrous. a flurry where someone has control for a split second should be called two then every time. ludicrous
Yianni ways finds some way...I don't know how but he does...ur right though, I was saying it the whole time that he was gonna pull something out of his ass and win...its weird...just somehow figures it out even if it's luck. I don't know
It's like a tight waist bump to the side coming over with his hips trying to get the boot. He ended up getting all the way over putting Joey on his back
@@gerikgo yeah I've been taught this in wrestling camp but couldn't learn it that well but anyways i forgot the name to it n yeah its basically a tight waist whip and I know seth gross does it too or use to do it... Seth used it against Tarique Wilson at the 2018 ncaa 133 semis to pin him at OT
The actual name is a belly tip (freestyle move normally), but then he put it in sort of a grape-vine with his leg, but used his leg like it was a cement-job to turn over McKenna.
Honestly as a certified official i have a large amount of respect for officials. Especially officials on this level in the world's largest stage and I know the assistant official. With that being said the first takedown should have been called the second one definitely not
@@Quawnn idk. I think I just said that because I’m trying to find people that say McKenna should’ve won. McKenna was wrestling great the first 2 periods, but then wrestled bad in the 3rd. The only reason he got taken down in the 3rd was because he got called for stalling and he started shooting to hold on, and you don’t do that with Diakomihalis
I agree. Do you always think them confirming the 2 in the 3rd possibly had a little bit to do with the fact that it wasn’t a match deciding call? That them confirming the 2 and 1 for the escape sent it into overtime?
This was Mckennas match to win man he needed to belly out more and earlier in those last seconds of regulation he let him do a jr high johny step over after laying lazily on his side on his hip for a few very avoidable. Was a bad call for the step over earlier where he shoulda had two and two swipes.
I saw two there all day.He has the hips perfectly covered and Mckenna did not have a leg grabbed. Grabbing the top of the torso is not defending a take down.
Did it he judges ever actually overturn their original ruling. I haven’t been watching wrestling that long but I have been being watching matches since I started watching and I’ve seen any challenges and not once has the ref been like “I was wrong” and awarded points.
Great showing by both men. Yanni seems to at times lose points at rulings when the call escapes me...still good fortune later shined on him last period of this match which in turn had everything all evened out in the end ...and the last take down called the true victor correctly.
McKenna felt he could've stalemated until the clock ran out. If he would've kept wrestling he would've won. If he goes to a double when he had that single at the end of regulation, it's over.
Everyone knows Joey McKenna is a National Champion. NJ had FIVE National Champions on this night. When is the last time any State had FIVE wrestlers born, raised and wrestled through middle and High School win 5 Division 1 NCAA Championships in 1 night? Go ahead bitches...I'll wait.
Shit didn’t get 2 at the end but definetly got 2 at the beginning and ay it wasn’t up to the refs at the end of the day it was sudden victory, if McKenna was truly natty champ material he woulda pulled through so no robbery, great match by these 2 for sure
I really like Yianni but that takedown call was terrible.. I thought the one they denied was more legit than the one they counted at the end. Being in what appears to be better position isnt enough is it? Dont you have to have control. At no point during that last takedown did I feel Yianni had control. In the refs favor it must be really hard to ref matches with Yianni. It just doesnt always seem that clear cut.
That absolutely was a take down with 12 seconds left in the second. If that went to an independent person in the arena they would of overruled the head Ref.
How they call the high ride a takedown but not any near fall points when he stepped over the first time. It don’t make sense lol these refs smoking some
They didn’t even call the first time a takedown lol. It did kinda look like McKenna was on his back for 2 counts. Could’ve only been 1 count for all we know
@@xenonmaster6668 He has absolutely struggled on the Senior Level. He’s only made one World Team and missed making two Olympic Teams so far. Ask “Yianni” if he’s happy or satisfied with his Senior Level performances and “listen” to HIS answers and you’ll “wdym”
Sorry Yanni, Joey is the champ in my mind. Those controversial takedown points at end of regulation were a gift from the ref. McKenna wins. Why can't you ever just get a clean win. This is tainted one.Sorry.
either way, he has a chance of winning in OT. he shouldnt have let it go into the refs hands. yianni out wrestled him late in the match which takes heart and strength. great match tho, both wrestled well.
It was actually the 3rd or 4th rip that day Cornell over OSU. Myles Martin was also robbed as Max Dean shined the mat with his belly for 6 minutes. Refs hate OSU football and dare to dream their actions wont show. Hell, explain Sasso vs O'Connor. Ryan has no recourse but tweets way late, way short.
Man this match always hurt to watch. McKenna is by far my favorite buckeye to watch wrestle! Damn I thought he was going to pull this off. FUCKKKKKKKK!!
He's going get figured out... I dont see him doing this above 149lbs. I just dont... there are some loaded wrestlers at 149-157... and if does redshirt next yr, there sre some true studs that can move up or down.... just the scrambles and funk rolls..
You were talking about college weights. Zains long outta college. And also he’s got a lot of time to develop. I firmly believe he’s got a lot of improving to do
@@Shitboxo the reason they didn’t count that is because McKenna kept wrestling and he rolled through. Close call, but I think he wrestled through, but you could make a case for it being a takedown and back points
@Jesus is Fake He had no control on the takedown that sent it to overtime. McKenna was also more active the whole match. Did Yianni take a single shot?
That was the worst called national final match I’ve ever seen. First the takedown they took away from McKenna should of been 2. He clearly had control for a good second. Then the “takedown tha yanni got at the buzzer was absolutely b crap. There was never full control and he never put the boot in. Terrible.
But when he's on his back with Yianni in control and 2 seconds go off the clock it's not a takedown or backpoints interesting or in the danger zone for 2 seconds still 2 points
@lol you Idiot your words begin and end in the worthless bag of filth that you occupy. Joey McKenna Division I National Champion. I....much like God...remain unaffected.
Yianni is a great wrestler but he isn’t as good as people think. At least not yet. It showed at World teams and Olympic trials. Not world class yet. And if he would have wrestled 141 and not that shit 149 weight class last year Nick Lee would have been more than he could’ve handled
That front trip for the win was absolutely gorgeous
Yanni is a freak of nature; he's so flexible it's unreal. What a great match; #1 against #2. You can't ask for more than that.
100% scrambling level is insane
Yeah, Jim and Joey’s mom too are good people.
It’s sad to see how sad McKennas dad was after the loss, he just stood their in disbelief

which one is his dad
Do you blame him? He is son got robbed
@@bidenisatraitor7633 where was the 2.. still looking

@@ogot344 yeah they made up for it with the other td that i thought had less control than the first
gitgud haters i am too son, I am too.
If McKenna stayed on his back for another half second longer it would have been 2 takedown 2 back
@Ramon Essarta wow who knew
Feel so bad for McKenna, he got absolutely robbed from the W by an abysmal call by the ref.
Jaydin Eierman had way more control in his 2021 match vs Kizhan Clarke and they ruled no takedown then. Kinda wild to me
McKenna didn’t get robbed lol. Yianni got robbed of a takedown in the 2nd which should’ve been called a takedown. Yianni would’ve been robbed if McKenna win lol
Let’s be real lol McKenna knew he was gonna lose once they sent it to OT
Yup
He could only run and hold on to his arm for so long lol.
Why did McKenna get a warning for stalling but Yianni's whole thing is defending a shot and turning it into his own take down. I saw him attempt to shoot way less
Gabe Roderick well yeah I guess my point exactly. The other guys didn’t shoot hardly at all. If I can tell that, how come the refs can’t. Specially with it being known that he’s a counter specialist
Yianni was still creating action
Wrestling isn't all about shots arm attacks are always going on most ppl just have 1 or 2 weapons in their arsenal
That was a good match
That’s the thing about amazing matches. Someone HAS to lose. Controversial or not. Incredible match and finishes with an amazing flurry.
This was a crazy match.Both were top tier for sure.

yes he did. Left handed.
In reality McKenna won before the overtime lost the second match.
That second takedown was technically a take down cause desanto does that all the time and tbh it was almost a near fall

Absolutely wasn’t a takedown
The ref was letting the crowd influence his decision making...
That wasn’t two at all, the first challenge was more of a takedown than the second. Both weren’t close to two
Tru that. Yanni got outwrestled
@Ramon Essarta Try to pay attention.
Clearly no takedown. Clearly. Gift from ref. Tom Ryan knew it was no takedown.
The step-over is a very common move and hard to tell where exactly it goes from neutral to take down but I do agree with the scoring
McKenna got robbed
Yianni ways finds some way...I don't know how but he does...ur right though, I was saying it the whole time that he was gonna pull something out of his ass and win...its weird...just somehow figures it out even if it's luck. I don't know
😂 yesss let's just ignore the fact that he was on his back long enough for a 2 count in the 2nd period
Anyone know the name of the move at 7:35 by Yianni it's like a waist whip or dump
It's like a tight waist bump to the side coming over with his hips trying to get the boot. He ended up getting all the way over putting Joey on his back

he had been warned for stalling, so he might have felt the need to fight it out instead of running in circles which is common with seconds to go.
So Yianni should’ve won like 6-3 or something if the refs called that right.
I saw two there all day.He has the hips perfectly covered and Mckenna did not have a leg grabbed. Grabbing the top of the torso is not defending a take down.
You need control past reaction time. Arm in plus constantly moving through the position equals no takedown. At no time was there control
To this day I can’t get over how McKenna got hosed on that takedown call …just awful .
Anybody know what shoes McKenna has on??
Riley Rhone considering that, those are the best looking shoes I’ve ever seen. They should really bring them back they, look dope as f*ck.
