Coaches always stress the importance of that first takedown, but if you go all out at the beginning this is what happens, even if you do get the first takedown. Wrestling is such a high level now its more of a strategic chess match and I am seeing it more and more. Great match though. Valencia has an awesome go behind. And how did he get out of that inside trip???
Gotta love how these Penn State guys aren't deterred when the match isn't going well initially. They just plug along and eventually find ways to score points and win.
Can hate on Penn State all you want, I know I certainly don’t like seeing them win all the time, but they do it the right way over there. No one routinely has their guys more conditioned and just flat out getting better every year, more than Cael.
@@PJP-DJP I don’t think there’s an issue either way. Just cuz they do it the right doesn’t mean I have to root for them. I root for others because I was see a change in the totem pole. I don’t root against them per se
Looked like Zahid shutdown all of his offense immediately after scoring at the beginning of the match. Weird strategy to me to take your foot off the gas that early.
@@lexingtonconcord8751 less than a minute into the match? Doubtful unless he had something going on. He didn't look gassed until after he'd already stopped attacking.
@@MrGuanYu1 Depending on cardio, that one minute could mean a lot, there can be a lot of energy poured into one minute and there can be the same amount of energy poured into a whole match. Its about levels, zahid and AB are close on levels, but AB had the better cardio
I said to my wife when Zahid slowly and unetheusiastically walked to the circle to start second that he was done. Really kind of surprising tbh. So who you have .... DT or AB?
To be honest y'all I don't even think it's the cardio that's the problem for Zahid Valencia. I think he's cutting way too much weight. He looks far too big for his weight class.
There is no one in NA wrestling, possibly the world who throws in underhooks like Aaron Brooks! The motion starts from his core, then lats, where his shoulders just launch them in and up. 100% commitment. Cardio aside, look at Brooks' physicality: Against Mark Hall, who no one doubts for strength, you can see Brooks' ropey, broad shoulder power easily matching Halls' more compact frame. And here, Brooks' posture and body language says he's gonna win, despite the early deficit. While Valencia's swiping away his silly bangs, Brooks brawls right into his face, hands up and smelling blood. Zahid -- you're not just tired; more importantly, you're not hungry. Brooks is a chunk of relentless, stalking granite.
I was thinking exactly this. Zahid is a smooth wrestler with great skill but I always thought he lacks heart and grit. Not taking anything away from him, just never seen him "want it"
Why does Zahid look middle eastern with a middle eastern first name. When I looked him up couple years ago it says he’s Hispanic but the dude could be my cousin 😂
The only way to explain Zahid BLOWing this match is too much partying. He gets a go-behind to go up 6-0 with 2:17 left after really he just went the whole match without a single attack outside of his early explosion for points. Put down the pipe and get in the weight room bruh.
Yea, but he damn sure scored on DT, so in that aspect, i would say you are the delusional one. It's ok to be a hater....the world needs petty people too
One of the biggest reasons US wrestlers beat foreign wrestlers with far more freestyle experience is conditioning, Zahid got gassed early second period.
Great match! Cardio looked to be the determining factor.
Yeah. Valencia looked gassed in the second period.
Cardio & God

You can definitely learn so much from watching these videos
Brooks still in that folkstyle shape

Aaron brooks is a class act
great matchup between two solid ncaa champs
100% incredible athletes
Brooks is always the most gracious guy. Win or lose, this is how you want your kid to be.
Facts
He's a fuckin racist too
Without question

If you recognize that they are doing it the right way, but dont like seeing them win, the issue is you not them.

@joeysaxton9309 thats very different from "i cerntainly dont like seeing them win all the time"
@@PJP-DJP this comment’s from 5 months ago, opinions change
@@jsaxton128 so you no longer dislike seeing them win knowing that they do it the right way?
I love Brooks but Valencia was completely gassed! He’s gotta get his Cardio together.
Never had a gas tank and never will at this point
@@ChristianCrinellaGonja. Needs to lay off the herb.
Zahid's cardio burned him bad. Brooks had great intensity throughout the match,never stopped once he had him on the ropes. Great comeback.🎉
Brooks has literally become a machine
What a match. That’s all about. Keep fight not give up. Condition Condition Condition that’s the key in wrestling bravo 👏🏼 Aaron B

He didn't take his foot off the gas, he ran out of gas.

He got tired, but its pretty standard to start wrestling defensively if your up 4+
Conservation
My favorite wrestler, Aaron Brooks. Glory to God
I said to my wife when Zahid slowly and unetheusiastically walked to the circle to start second that he was done. Really kind of surprising tbh.
So who you have .... DT or AB?
I think the only way Aaron Brooks can win is if he catches David on his back
DT all the way
yk damn well aaron brooks not beating david taylor
I am sure they have wrestled plenty. I would not be too awful shocked if DT techs him, maybe not, but it's possible.

The CAUSE of the cardio problem might be cutting too much--but it WAS a cardio problem.
@@jimquantic The root of the problem is the weight cut. That's why he just announced he is bumping up a weight class.
Losing too much weight reduces stamina tremendously

Great comment; solid description
I was thinking exactly this. Zahid is a smooth wrestler with great skill but I always thought he lacks heart and grit. Not taking anything away from him, just never seen him "want it"
Theatrical, and accurate. Love it.
one day at a time; great works by Aaron. wathching him against Taylor will be fun
Why does Zahid look middle eastern with a middle eastern first name. When I looked him up couple years ago it says he’s Hispanic but the dude could be my cousin 😂
Nice, Brooks came after him, wow I thought it might be too much. Good work God bless
Thank you
Brooks is a BEAST !!!!
Awesome match!!!
Great Match, would love to see Aaron Brooks against Hassan Yazdani
The weight cut. He kills himself to make this weight class.
zhaid is a one hit wonder-hope this motivates you Z
Brooks still in shape from long regular season.
Brooks been watching film on this guy Rahman Amouzadkhalili that under hook position is underrated.
The only way to explain Zahid BLOWing this match is too much partying. He gets a go-behind to go up 6-0 with 2:17 left after really he just went the whole match without a single attack outside of his early explosion for points. Put down the pipe and get in the weight room bruh.
what a jackass comment. There is ZERO evidence that Zahid would be partying up until the biggest tournament of his life.
Zahid probably took some days off
Wow, flo, ur special, cant even get the right brother in the title....
Very surprised to see a wrestler at this level gas so early in a match. Especially one whose elite skill is quickness like Zahid
Zahid made it look easy at the beginning big respect. Imagine if his cardio was right
Definitely a cardio difference there. Zahid came out firing, but seems to gas by 3 mins.
Brooks BROKE him. Awesome.
Cool I can see who won in the thumbnail
For anyone thinking brooks is going to even score on Taylor you’re delusional
That comment didn't agree well..... smdh
@@D_Heidtke who won? Lol that’s what I thought 🤪
Yea, but he damn sure scored on DT, so in that aspect, i would say you are the delusional one. It's ok to be a hater....the world needs petty people too
@@MrDbaker360moved the goalposts though. That wasn’t even discussed in your original comment
@@MrDbaker360brooks did twice. David only scored two points between both matches. Time for the new dogs! Ur first comment did not age well at all.
I'm not sure why Zahid didn't get 4 for the feet to back and then 2 more for a 2nd exposure.
Try to release earlier I already saw the match
2 indigenous american warriors 🙏🏾🏹
Zahid would have been completely and utterly embarrassed by DT
💪Penn State💪
BROOKS!!
One of the biggest reasons US wrestlers beat foreign wrestlers with far more freestyle experience is conditioning, Zahid got gassed early second period.
you mean belly flopping and stalling doesnt build cardio?
@@yesfinallygot1 The Turks and former Soviet Bloc Nations seem to think so. Look at all the fake injuries late in matches for the breathers.
Or Zahid Valencia !!!!!
If Zahid had any cardio, he may have teched him. Brooks though, barely even sweating lol.
If Valencia worried about his cardio as much as he does about his hair and rolling joints, he might’ve had a chance.
Worries more about his cocaine
That freestyle conditioning bit him in the ass
Valencia needed an oxygen tank after this one
Conditioning. Valencia got gassed
before we make fun of cardio does zahid have asthma ?
Enlarged heart does this also
zahids issue is always with cardio
All that weed Valencia was smoking hurt his cardio😂
Zahid needs to stop smoking pot 😂😂
How does Valencia lose that.
Valencia no gas tank!
Could always be a different score
Zahid gassed out. His conditioning is what defeated him. No special skill from Brooks. Fatigue made Valencia a coward. Not a good look.
I always say you should drill like you do in folkstyle for freestyle. Brooks still in shape to wrestle 7+ minutes
Shitty part of winning this is you got david taylor next lol
Gutsy W
Sorry they are good, but David Taylor is great wrestler
How'd that comment age? Some of of these young guys are just to much for the older guys. Nolf knocked off one as well.
Walencia is not very well wrestler, brooks is slow and that is why Walencia looks great
Leg lace is so corny it shouldnt be worth that much to just turn someone a few times.
Valencia was gassed af.
This was a show of conditioning. Brooks wore him out.
Gas tank
All that weed zahid smoked got to him
Zahid is better - his own cardio beta him not brooks
So is he better? Cardio is a big part of being a great wrestler have to be great the whole match.
One word: gastank.
His gas tank emptied all of a sudden
Cant wait for Aaron to whoop Taylor
You will have to.
He won't.
Pretty sure you'll be waiting a few years for that.
Whoop Taylor? Ok fanboy 😂
Lolol ain't gonna fucking happen.
BROOKS WAS OBVIOUSLY GONNA GET THE WIN MORE TALENT AND BETTER GAS TANK
🎉👏🙌
