@@EsEf125 He dropped out of Cornell and vanished off the face of the earth. Last time I saw him he gained a ton of weight and was almost unrecognizable. He was peddling some shady multi-level marketing scam. What a shame. I really think this loss broke spirit. He never recovered.
that was a hella good match!! he could've been the second ever person to win state all four years... i give props to Villarreal, Gilroy did hella good this year.
Cisneros must be the absolute best sport ever, the kids just lost his dream of being a 4 timer in one of the hardest states and took that loss like a real man, no pouting, screaming, storming off, he seems like a true class act
I will never understand what Alex was thinking. At 15 seconds he needs to break the tie up and force Villarreal to shoot from a distance. If Villareal gets a takedown then Alex concedes and goes to his belly. Or run and take the stall warning. But there is no excuse for getting caught like that. A mental breakdown. The biggest choke in the history of California high school sports.
i feel bad for cisneros, hes such a chill dude, and has worked his ass off for four years in being a great wrestler and great student. good luck at cornell
The one who wins is the one who is better. That's why we have wrestling matches. You seem to think people should be given first place medals based on emotions instead of their performance on the mat.
nikko has no respect. cisneros is arguably the greatest wrestler to ever come out of california. Nikko should be grateful to be on the same mat as cisneros.
I wasn’t following wrestling during this time (I have a good friend whose son was a wrestler so I starting following and found out BUCHANAN is really good and such), but did Nikko get Most Outstanding Wrestler for this one match?
Cisneros was probably upset and didn't want to shake hands. Ref probably told him either to be a good sport or that he's a badass and not to worry about it...
Shouldn't have gotten in a tie up with 10 seconds left? Did you watch the video? Cisneros was tied up with Villarreal way before 10 seconds were left. And why would Cisneros think otherwise, anyhow? That was just an amazing 5-pointer by Villareal.
@chico12101 just not smart to tie up when ur up by 3 and ur going up against someone who knows what there doing with short time left, anything can happen, just like his throw
Nikko is good as shit, I'm not taking anything away from him, he's a state champ. I was just pointing out how stupid he looks when the enitre state of cali just watched him get dominated for 95% of the match.
Really? So if you're about to tech a kid and get caught and end up getting stuck, does that make him the better wrestler? No. No one on this video can honestly say nikko would win a rematch against cisneros.
Their performance on the mat? Did you not just watch Alex dominate the match up until the final 4 seconds? You defend Nikko like he is the better wrestler. What if Alex just ran away for the last 10 seconds and won the match, would you still say Nikko is the better wrestler?
You're right I apologize, he's lucky he caught Alex off guard. He is still not better than Cisneros. If they would've wrestled 20 mins after this match, Alex would've won hands down.
Thats what happens when you get cocky and forget about your fundamentals im not the best wrestler but even i know not to tie up with 10 seconds left for the possibility of a throw cmon..\
yea yea nikko beat cisneros once. Cisneros has beaten him several times and is a better wrestler by far. At Flonationals alex went up a weight and won. Nikko got 7th. Nikko will never be as good as Alex cisneros PERIOD!
He finished 3rd as a freshman and after this match went on to win 2 more state championships. I'd say he ended up as one of the best in California, all time.
When you beat the best, then you are the best. Nobody "deserves" anything. Wrestling is not some affirmativ action program you get for "being you". Winner takes all. Crybabies shouldn't be on the mat.
The ref told Alex "Don't be upset what you've achieved and what you've done here today can never be taken from you."
I cant believe this hasn't gotten a million views yet. Probably the most insane match in california wrestling history!
I was a freshman in high school at the time watching this and let me tell you how INSANE it was to see live! Here 10 years later just to re live it
@@bayridgebull1221 Same! I come to this video once a year maybe. Such memories, and I hope Alex is doing well.

@@ElearningDigest damn fr that’s fuckin crazy
@@ElearningDigest That kind of story is all too familiar. There's life after wrestling and high school... I hope my kids don't turn out like that.
Saw this in person, crazy that it’s already been 6 years
Coaches watching this. Show this to your kids and hammer the lesson home. There is no such thing as a lock. No matches are guaranteed.
Apparently he went in the stands and shook hands with Nikko's parents, too.
Watched this live & it still hunts me till this day. Could only imagine how Alex must have felt. Great job on Nikko not give up!
Alex has already won 2 state championships
@@vlonehood5782 3, he would’ve been the second person ever to win 4 state championships in California
This is one of the saddest things I have watched... Alex is a great guy
This hurt to see when I was there and it still hurts. Wish the best for Alex wherever he’s at now
that was a hella good match!! he could've been the second ever person to win state all four years... i give props to Villarreal, Gilroy did hella good this year.

I was there and this match was the best one if the night .... Go nikko go gilroy I will see you at the 2014 state finals bro
Ahhhhhh I cry every time I watch it .... Which is a lot :l

i saw him wrestle at all my meets, i remember him as a boss destroying everybody
CISNEROS IS THE 2012 NATIONAL CHAMPION!! LOSSES MAKE YOU BETTER!! AND THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!! MY HAT'S OFF TO CISNEROS!! WAY TO COME BACK!!!
That sucks to be remembered as the guy who blew his chance at history in the last 10 seconds.
The torch got passed when the final whistle blew.There is nothing to be ashamed about. Nikko went on to win 3 state titles in a row.
yep that will haunt him forever
He's fat now
Lol, Cisneros has made much more history then a mere CIF state championship
i feel bad for cisneros, hes such a chill dude, and has worked his ass off for four years in being a great wrestler and great student. good luck at cornell
OMG.
Same circumstances as palomino
both forgot to take their anklets off
I think the State Finalists get to keep theirs...
The one who wins is the one who is better. That's why we have wrestling matches. You seem to think people should be given first place medals based on emotions instead of their performance on the mat.
I love making a comeback in the last round
Someone didn't look happy
I wouldn't even want to shake hands at that point either lmfao! I would of been too pissed in general that I messed up that badly.
nikko has no respect. cisneros is arguably the greatest wrestler to ever come out of california. Nikko should be grateful to be on the same mat as cisneros.
I know, late to the party but fast forward and Nikko went on to win 3 state championships.People just celebrate differently.
Who stood at the top of the podium after this match? Enuff said.
some people argue that cisneros's back didnt break 90 and shouldnt have given up back points
If that was me I would probably want to cry or smash something.
Cisneros is still a beast
Cisneros is fucken buff!!!!!
I wasn’t following wrestling during this time (I have a good friend whose son was a wrestler so I starting following and found out BUCHANAN is really good and such), but did Nikko get Most Outstanding Wrestler for this one match?
It’s been 9 years my guy😂 My cousin Nikko carried wrestling into college and now teaching younger kids. I think that he deserves recognition👍
Was he going for his forth state title
Ya boy Austin yes
10 seconds away from history.... this is so painful to watch lol
Cisneros was probably upset and didn't want to shake hands. Ref probably told him either to be a good sport or that he's a badass and not to worry about it...
the mighty has fallen!!!!!!! Praise the new king haha
If he respected Cisneros for his past accomplishments then he probably wouldnt have beaten him, would he?
Biggest choke in California hs sports history.
Shouldn't have gotten in a tie up with 10 seconds left? Did you watch the video? Cisneros was tied up with Villarreal way before 10 seconds were left. And why would Cisneros think otherwise, anyhow? That was just an amazing 5-pointer by Villareal.
Was is a Lateral or a Headlock? me and my friend are betting which one it was, i say headlock, even-though he did fall back on it like a Lateral.
he did a lateral drop
@@user-pl9jn6pz8o Thanks, been waiting 11 years for an answer.
@AwesomeBuddy12 Except the last 10 seconds of the day.
@theDirtiekurty
Out started our as a lateral but he missed and hit him with a headlock
crazy head and arm to end it
that was not a head and arm lmao
Expect the unexpected
probably in shock at what happened
He's celebrating like he dominated the match.
niiiiiiiiiiiiice
I would pay a lot to know what that ref said to Alex at 2:55
He won the National title but he will never have that 4X State Champ title. What a wasted chance at history.
It wasn't lucky. Villarreal went for a lateral and got the take down, and back points. No luck there.
@chico12101 just not smart to tie up when ur up by 3 and ur going up against someone who knows what there doing with short time left, anything can happen, just like his throw
I swear to God I know him
Nikko is good as shit, I'm not taking anything away from him, he's a state champ. I was just pointing out how stupid he looks when the enitre state of cali just watched him get dominated for 95% of the match.
I’ve just come back to this video after watching Nikki come back home from 6 years of college, he now has a degree in college.
are you kidding? they're huge...
OWNEDDDDDD
Really? So if you're about to tech a kid and get caught and end up getting stuck, does that make him the better wrestler? No. No one on this video can honestly say nikko would win a rematch against cisneros.
@VPBABY123 WHAT?! you dont even make sense i have no idea wtf yu just said
Whats the Move Called
lateral drop
Their performance on the mat? Did you not just watch Alex dominate the match up until the final 4 seconds? You defend Nikko like he is the better wrestler. What if Alex just ran away for the last 10 seconds and won the match, would you still say Nikko is the better wrestler?
Cisneros flips off the ref at 2:40
@BradyG1234 What a dumb and unfounded comment. Cisneros was looking to his coach and trying to figure out if he won or lost.
Abysmal Winner!
Didn’t do anything in D1 college wrestling
this would be tottaly fine but cisneros was undefeated to caly wrestlers and 3x state champ before
good job nikko personally just sayin ur bro iz an amazing wrestler too
DENIED.
I didn't expect an educated reply. You can't deny that Cisneros is better. You can defend Nikko all you want, but deep down you know who is better.
he probably just talked him down you know saying hey good match shake hands quick and leave. making sure nothing happened you know
he shouldnt have gotten in the tie up, with ten seconds left, shoulda played it safe
Nobody cares what happened in 95% of the match. All that matters is the final score.
Man that fuckin sucks id be mad
alright "studmuffin".. clearly he throws that shit up because he didn't give up and jst beat a 3 time state champ
Fuck that sucks.
You're right I apologize, he's lucky he caught Alex off guard. He is still not better than Cisneros. If they would've wrestled 20 mins after this match, Alex would've won hands down.
you can not say he is better after just losing a match. On that day Nikko was better.
Thats what happens when you get cocky and forget about your fundamentals im not the best wrestler but even i know not to tie up with 10 seconds left for the possibility of a throw cmon..\
Well Alex wasn't better then him when he lost at valley so accept the disappointment.
yea yea nikko beat cisneros once. Cisneros has beaten him several times and is a better wrestler by far. At Flonationals alex went up a weight and won. Nikko got 7th. Nikko will never be as good as Alex cisneros PERIOD!
Lol Nikko gets dominated for 5 mins and 50 seconds and gets one lucky move and he throws up number 1 like he's actually the best...
He finished 3rd as a freshman and after this match went on to win 2 more state championships. I'd say he ended up as one of the best in California, all time.
@@eltoroloco1936 this kid hatin on cuz😭
Shit Happens!
When you beat the best, then you are the best. Nobody "deserves" anything. Wrestling is not some affirmativ action program you get for "being you". Winner takes all. Crybabies shouldn't be on the mat.
these are some skinny-ass 132's, but they are fast as fuck
