Micic looks like Rivera's coach going live with him 😂
Hats off to Sebastian Rivera for taking this match and his coaches allowing it. I haven't seen the rest of the match. But, it's refreshing to see a highly ranked athlete wrestle another highly ranked athlete with all this ducking going on. Good on them. I'm thinking Micic will take it; based on the first takedown that I saw. Not the best for his record, but it's amazing to see when it's about going against the best competition.
Absolutely love the ethic of stepping up for the challenge - especially with an undefeated record. I would bet that very few, even elite wrestlers, would be willing to do it. Makes me want to pull for Rivera a bit the rest of his career.
I respect Rivera for not being afraid to go up and test his skills against the #1 guy at 133. That takes character.
The result is no surprise, but much respect to Rivera for seeking out the best competition. This experience will pay dividends for him at Nationals.
This is what wrestling needs more of, two guys willing to complete. The outcome was expected but great to see Rivera challenging himself against the best.
Its tough bumping up a weight in general, but imagine bumping up against the #1 ranked in that weight😂 Great matchtho
Sea Bass showing Lee how you dont run from competition.
Nail on the head
Lee's a 3 time world champion and pinned NATO and Pich to become NCAA champion. And he ducked sea bass because... gtfo
@@chrisdavila8556 ...because he lost the last time
It was a decision Tom and terry made. Lee had no say in it. You guys think too shallow.... maybe they liked the #2 seed for the big 10 bracket. That side of the bracket might be a better path for Lee.
I don’t think it was lee’s choice.
I like Rivera's mindset, but I disagree with the people who say that he'll get better from this. Micic is really good, but this wasn't that competitive of a match. Although wrestling is heavily reliant on technique, sometimes the weight and length difference negates that. As good as Rivera is, he never looked able to finish a shot against the much bigger Micic.
Micic is way bigger than Rivera sheesh. Hey Rivera got some balls though to risk his record just for better competition unlike Most wrestlers.
No doubt. I don't think Rivera risked anything, however, since he went up a weight class. He was not expected to win.
"Way bigger" I hate when ppl say that.
That’s what she said.
Michael Hayes it’s a bad habit
Micic. He is scary good Clean technique
Would have loved to see the rematch between these 2 last year...
2 things...props to Riveria for challenging himself and Micic is a freaking monster!
bumping up might have cost him a win in the ncaa semi finals. Jack Mueller said this was the match he studied to come up with his offensive strategy for that match. If you watch both matches they are almost the same. I give Rivera a ton of credit and i do think he is one of the most improved wrestlers coming from high school to college. He really stepped up his game in every way possible. He has also been a top contender at every single weight class he has went to. Must have a tremendous work either and high intelligence.
it’s tough bumping up esp to wrestle the #1 ranked guy much respect to Rivera he’s a dog
Rivera will be a better wrestler because of this. Props to Rivera.
Because of ONE match that he easily lost? Micic's technique, not his weight, outclassed Rivera. Lesson 101; step up to a #1 seeded opponent that has phenomenal technique and get beat.
Got to give it to Sea bass red shirt sophomore going up against a career college wrestler LOL but Micic is just pleasantly surprising me his domanantcy is separating himself from the loaded field at 133
Anybody who is saying that Rivera bumping up has nothing to do with courage and that size had nothing to do with the turnout of the match has never wrestled at the college level. You sound ridiculous and like a hater. Size has much to do with it. Micic is a bigger dude than him before and after their cut. Also, Micic is used to wrestling bigger, stronger guys than Rivera is. Rivera is #1 at his weight so he had nothing to prove. He did it for the challenge. The strength and size factor was clear in every scramble. Move along haters...
Amazing how noticable the 8# is. I like the step up.
You know very well in wrestling that the billed weight isn't a fair indicator. Rivera was wrestling as a 113 pounder as a senior in high school, so he hardly struggles to make 125 lbs. Micic wrestles at 133 lbs, but he'd be 150 lbs if he took a week off from exercising. At minimum, I'd say the difference in weight is 15 lbs.
@@znhait You don't just fluctuate 17 pounds like that. Micic might walk around at 140; 145 at the most.
Dylan Higgins Big difference between walking around in between practices and walking around while not exercising. The true weight difference between the two is at least 15 pounds.
@@znhait no, in college, they fall into their weight classes better, the weight difference isnt really that much especially when you consider that on his worst day, rivera said he was around 150
Man props to Rivera for stepping up
But I like he stepped up
Props to sea bass. I love micic and people keep knocking/doubting in him, but here comes sea bass a very good wrestler bumping up against micic. Weight wasnt the big factor of this match, it played a small part. Micic was just the better wrestler in this match and i consider it a knock on sea bass for anyone looking to make any other excuses. The guy is a great wrestler and it was great of him to give us this match, so im thankful
Yes it was a small factor Micic just flat out better but that strength advantage showed
What if Seth Gross wasn’t hurt??? Where would people like Nick Suriano, Daton fix, or even Austin Desanto be ranked at. I believe 133 lbs is the toughest weight class in college wrestling right now
The size difference of 1 weight class makes a huge difference and you can clearly see. Rivera never stopped moving but the strength difference between them caused him to be outmuscled every time. Either way this was a bold and a super smart move by Rivera to wrestle up and he did very well! You know he’s doing this for his future debut against lee lol
Question. Did Rivera weigh in at 125 and just wrestle up? Or did he weigh in at 133 for the meet?
Rivera is anti-ducking. Lee isn't bumping up to take on the #1 133 even if Desanto was hurt.
Big deal. Rivera stepped up and lost as everyone expected. Lee is a solid 125. No need to step up. National classy champ.
This is the ultimate stay in your lane from micic to rivera
You can be the guy in highschool or college with an undefeated record cutting a bunch of weight to avoid that 3 time state champ so you have a clear path to a state championship or you can challenge yourself like this. More people need to be like this instead of cutting 15 pounds just to get down to the next weight cuz it’s easier
Whoa there grasshopper. Let's not get carried away. Rivera stepped up in a somewhat meaningless duel meet, where the team outcome was pretty much a foregone conclusion. He'll be right back down to 125 for the BIG10 and national tournaments, where the competition is 'easier' for him to win a National title.
I'm glad to see him challenging himself, and I think this experience will benefit him at Nationals, but make no mistake about it, he'll be sucking back down to 'easier' 125 for the important tournaments.
@@rossogden2043 Rivera doesn't struggle to make 125 lbs. Someone who wrestled at 113 lbs as a senior in high school and struggled to make 106 lbs as a freshman isn't cutting much weight. If there were a 120 lbs weight class, that's probably where he'd be wrestling.
Whole heartedly agree, Matt lee , if your good an your FAT% @3% and you cut additional 20lbs for adv is and always will be the bitter sweet sacrifice of wrestling, but cutting anything more than 7 ,9 lbs is overkill, some kids need that edge !
Steeve Cantave I don't think that was meant at Rivera cutting 15 lbs! Soaken wet he makes 125' looks more like 119 lber
Micic is beautiful to watch.
Micic is going to be national champ........and so is Spencer Lee
Yep. That's how I see it, too.
That's how everyone sees it still like to see matches like this even if it was pretty lop sided teams like NW and SD st are able to move their line up around I for one didn't think it would be another Merideth Gross style differences and I also think Micic beats them both at either weight to bad Gross is out would like to have seen that rematch
Jeff Smalley Isn’t it insane how competitive 133 is, even when the defending champ out for the season? Next year will be just as tough-Lizak is the only serious competitor who is graduating.
@@andizzyJD12 Wilson is still out as well I think last time I saw him is when he got hurt wrestling Pletcher
Awesome wrestlin
damn thought seabass was about the vision quest Micic lol
Wow 24k views. The wrestling nation is strong on this one.
I liked the idea of Rivera moving up until they shook hands and I saw the size difference between the two.. He had no chance of beating Micic.. He's just too small and it showed in the match
Stud move.
This only helps Sea Bass he's pushing himself...... I can see him as National Champion
yikes
Respect for rivera💪🏾
Respect him bumming up
That’s a man’s move. So what if he lost. Opposite of Lee. Wish more wrestlers and teams would follow his lead.
Anyone else remember Meredith and Heil, that was a match
PROPS TO BOTH MEN!!!!!!!!!!! Micic rocks!
Against micic he never had a chance
Imagine being beat by someone with double kneepads
The scoring this match confused me...he escaped and went from 2 to 4 points. Instead of 3. What did I miss? Micic only got 1 point for ride time it looked like also?
I think Micic got hit with a second stalling call.
@Zayne simard moore I don't think that's correct it is 1 point if you ride him for 6min 59sec in any college match
Why do so many college guys act like they're tweaking out. Wide eyes, constantly twitching shoulders. Is that the cool thing to do or are they just on something?
Your a looser.
Noticed the same thing. Maybe too much Red Bull?
The size was a difference
It was but he looked quicker than Rivera also but your right when he got a hold of him he just reeled him in
Jeff Smalley yea as the match goes on u can see the weight was a difference but hats off Mic dropping downs to 25 anyway for freestyle I bet it will b a better match but hey he has heart sea bass I like tht it’s not abt records it’s abt getting better I’m pulling for him
I didn't see the weight difference. I saw beautiful technique from Micic that "SWAMPED" Rivera. Rivera lost as expected. Nothing courageous about that.
@@reggieglubber5420 what do you mean nothing courageous about that?
Just stating facts. I also observed that he played it safe during the match. Courage has many variables. Take someone who competes at all levels including internationally. Someone who wrestles in the State finals not fully in shape and with an ACL that had not healed yet. Take someone that is sick and wrestles through it for the team. Take someone who practices with top notch international wrestlers.
Rivera looks like he weighed in at 119s
I think they should include 119s!
That took balls
Austin desantos hype aint getting passed this guy
Eric Desantos is the weakest of stacked 133lbers, I know the end result Suriano will take revenge on all the blown calls / points deducted / refs hate aggressive Attack Jersey style wrestling ! Hands to the face are you kidding me even accidentally poked fingers to the eye shouldn't be a point deductn, and like it always was caution , or even less blown dead stoppage of match, restart in center! So next they penelyze setup snap downs , sport will go from Wrestling?..?? To Wusstling! For real! Splee gets away with a lot of an illegal move the chicken wing, watch when he torques his break ,,, it's way way way past 90 it's like 150 160degree angle, that's called ImferiorIowatism!
I think mic is going to win 33 but fix tough & my boy from Psu & Willson tht weight class so stack but I think mic solid
This didn’t age well did it. All he did was show how to beat him and Mueller did it handily.
true
Micic was so dominant at 133. I wonder why he went up to 141
He wants to go to the Olympics and wants to get used to the olympic weight of 65kg (143 pounds) so to get used to that size he bumped up
@@gerardo7616 he just won bronze at worlds 22’ at 57kg though
@@himom5518 well that’s why he went up originally. I think he went back down because he performed poorly at 141. He probably doesn’t want to cut the weight but he lacks the pure mass these other heavier guys have
Gosh damn people before spouting out know your facts Brands made the decision to pull Lee, Lee had no say in it!!
I haven't seen one comment disputing that fact doesn't change the fact that he didn't wrestle Rivera so who ever made the decision it still reflects on him I'm not saying there was a good reason for it we just haven't heard one until we do he will take heat for it along with Brands he still wildly popular I believe he is the best 125 just looks like a duck when no explanation is given for his absence
That happens when your coach doesn't believe in you
is he just not ranked in this weight class?
DJonMARS yes
He is ranked #1 at 125
Battle of the double knee pads!!!
Why did he bump up
Cruz Riojas ego
@@schumpert327 Hunger for competition. A true competitor looks for challenges. To say that he is trying to feed his ego doesn't make any sense. Rivera put his record aside and instead looked to challenge himself against a bigger, stronger opponent. That deserves respect
Alex Eastland lol... he works out with his coach... Cody Brewer. No need to challenge Micic... all ego here. Sorry
Beginning in the first period Rivera looked panicked.
Looks like Micic cutting a lot of weight for 133, and Sea Bass cutting little for 125.
Micic does wrestle 125 internationally so he is capable of making the weight
Jeff Smalley Micic looks unbeatable!
Double kneepad gang
And to think that people make fun of wrestlers that wear two knee pads
Looks to me like Rivera didnt stick to wrestling from space. He let Micic run his game by getting into those tie ups. Think he could give a better match by firing shots from space. Never tie up with a bigger guy.
Sea Bass looked small against Micic.
I disagree with this idea wholeheartedly
Explain.
@@DB-115 This is just my opinion. All due respect to rivera for bumping up but he needs to focus on WINNING. Spenser lee is playing a waiting game and he may be afraid of rivera since rivera is the only one to beat him multiple times. But this decisive loss against micic does not help rivera win the psychological battle of beating lee WHEN IT COUNTS. If these two make the national finals rivera can't lean back on this match and say good thing I took it. Lee wins when it matters so he has one thing on his mind which is the national tournament and staying healthy, not an undefeated record and not trying to be the pound for pound contender for best wrestler(which he already is). This is combat sports and a good big guy always beats a good little guy, which is why there are weight classes.
@Zayne simard moore Yea true I forgot they're in the same conference. No doubt that Rivera has had a phenomenal season, I just think that a loss could endanger his momentum.
@@Bo-fc5mn I'm on the contrary.. If he completely got mopped that would be one thing but Rivera hung in there. The only match all season that Micic wrestled where he didn't score bonus points. I feel as if thats a confidence booster if anything.
@@DB-115Idk man theres plenty of good guys at 125 to worry about. And he avoided getting majored by about 1 second haha
Its the match of whos the best at wearing double knee pads
Top 10 Anime Cross Overs
Micic is just better, I see this as a lack of respect for Micic.
Haha. How so? Maybe for the mich. 125 lber nut not for Micic.
EXCELLENT comment bud! No blinders on. Micic has phenomenal technique. The weight made no diff.
@@reggieglubber5420 I don't question Micic beats him 9 out ten times if they were the same weight but the match I watched also showed Micic strength when he got a hold of Rivera he just reeled him in I have to believe it could have been a competitive match without the weight difference Micic still wins but he gets taken down at least once
I don't quite agree. Micic is mostly technique. He is very slight of build. He is quite slim. Micic is way ahead of most wrestlers in technique that is why he is able to pull them in so easily. He also does it from short distances. He has great balance.
@@reggieglubber5420 I won't argue with you you are right his technique is supreme
Golden gg noobbbbbbbbbbbb
Rivera wrestled horribly and was not up to the challenge in my opinion.
Oh look at me, I beat Spencer Lee once. Now I think I can beat Micic! You are gonna have a hard time beating Vito Arujau, that’s if you can beat him. You just got out wrestled and out classed. Stay in your own lane...
Incorrect.. He wanted to challenge himself.. Lee is washed. He may not even be a finalist this year. Piccinnini, Mueller, Vito, Rivera, Bresser all have the tools to take him out.
its called looking for a challenge shut up
Isaiah Jasso it’s called ego... it got smashed
C. B Spencer will win it all again.... wait till the big tens when he dismantles Rivera... he will destroy Piccininni on the 24th...
schumpert327 even if you were right he deserves to have an ego he number one ranked in the country for his weight that’s high ego worthy
