he looked like the dumber wrestler the entire match. took more shots but they were all that same high crotch with no setup or adjustments until the last minute with the single solid double attempt
@@tyhatfield7156 all i could see was a wrestler execute a game plan. Its fun to see guys flying around scoring points. But the objective is to win. If that requires slowing the match or being defensive so be it.
Watch the ncaa championship match next year. Dake physically dominated him from whistle to buzzer. Rode him over 6 minutes, rubbed his face in the mat, picked him up over his head, 3 times, and mat returned him. Beat him 8 - 1, total domination
of all the places to get a stalling call I'm not sure defending the single is where it should've been given. but when he was walking straight back to the edge shouldve gotten a couple.
@@robhix1522 "pushing the pace" interesting choice of words. In competitive matches against top tier opponents, Dake works to look busy but rarely takes a shot. He made a career out of defense and counterattacks. And if the other guy doesn't initiate... So yeah, no.
7:29 singlet grab by Molinaro. He would have lost but 3 in this match or by 2 if deducted a point. Surprising how many times Molinaro could get to Dake's legs from an overhand tie. I'm surprised Dake couldnt readjust to that. Also, Molinaro could not finish the take down. Truly a chess match.
Whoever that ref is he needs to never ref again. That was absolute garbage on his part. Dake stalled basically the whole match. Molinaro pushed forward and shot 3 times to Dakes half shots. Wow.
@@brianegal2286 way I looked at if final score was 3-1 Dake how he didnt get that take down and then Frank got an escape Dake was the Bette wrestler easily with out pushing the action
All the Penn state homers on here beggin' for the ref to hand their boy a win. Never leave a match in the hands of a ref. Go win it. Molinaro must have pissed Dake off something major since Dake hung 6 minutes and 30 seconds of riding time on him in the NCAAs.
Weird. The match I watched the guy in blue won. Blue was crazy strong. I see why they call him the hulk. Pushed red all over the mat. Red was all defense.
@@LIONTAMER3D And how many points do you get for initiating an attack? I will thank you in advance for proving my point that much like feelings optics don't matter when you have less points at the end of the wrestling match.
@@loucorona2684 dake won by a one point escape, Molinaro always shot while dake just defended and not a single stall call was called the first and second period . It should have gone into overtime and it would have been a different story
@@loucorona2684 Nobody knows. With Dake running out of bounds on the single leg and then not getting called or warned for stalling? Americas guess is the ref won it for him.
Its a shame. Dake is obviously amazing but you can't help but root against him with all the bitching he does on the mat. He was looking for a stalling call when Molinaro worked the edge? Comical
Really cool to hear Cael in the corner. When he says something it always on point and calm. Never any unnecessary commentary.
this is a really interesting match to look back at
might be a hot take but frank looked like the better wrestler the entire match
he looked like the dumber wrestler the entire match. took more shots but they were all that same high crotch with no setup or adjustments until the last minute with the single solid double attempt
I totally agree all I could see in Dake was just stalling

@@jambo_jackbelly no it was this same season they wrestled in the finals just a few months after this
this is the best commentary ever lol......"they should think of something more aggressive than happy feet" hahaha
I agree, these guys made the match even better.
Lol
That was a good match.
No stalling calls? Wtf is going on with this ref? Dake is amazing but he should have been warned when he jumped out on that single.
Agreed! Terrible officiating. The fact that Dake wasn't ever even given a stall warning is beyond belief
of all the places to get a stalling call I'm not sure defending the single is where it should've been given. but when he was walking straight back to the edge shouldve gotten a couple.
It was a good match, but definitely stalling calls should have made. It would of really made a difference in the match.
How was Dake not hit atleast twice for stalling??
a 150lb competitive wrestler @ the national level is a gargantuan, rampaging beast of epic proportions
I love me some Dake, but how was he never issued a stall call or at least a warning at that??
Because the ref is a biased little bitch
You can ask that question in half of the matches Dake ever wrestled.
Different time
@@broheme8922 stop 90 percent of the time he is the one pushing the pace

That doesn't even look like Dake now days. Muscle tone completely different
That's back when Dake used to win.
For the guys talking no offense but you think you could finish those shots on Dake ?
What is that move called when it looks like the guy is about to head and arm and then kind of shucks the guy by?
Elbow pass by?
@@Mineman900 is it just a shuck? It happens so fast it's hard to see.
Underhook punch
I like how they stopped calling him gorilla hulk. After getting beat.
These guys look a lot bigger than 149 lb.’s ???

Thomasello and Mollinaro are similar.
"Counter offense"
👍👍👍💯💯💯
Definitely should have been stall calls at least one then maybe it wouldn't have gone that way there would have been more attacks. Take still wins.
How tall are these guys ?
Short, especially frank
Dake is 5'10"
Blur won? Huh? I guess me and the ref were watching a different match.🤷♂️😅😅😅
All of America thinks Dake stole that match - Dake did win - but the better wrestler beat himself.
@@brianegal2286 way I looked at if final score was 3-1 Dake how he didnt get that take down and then Frank got an escape Dake was the Bette wrestler easily with out pushing the action
3:07 “counter offense”
I wonder if Dake could have beat Brent Metcalf at 57 the year Dake won it at 41
That’s a good amount of weight to gain
The answer to that question is no
Metcalf was 149 never 157
Dake is so damn good.
He was a public disgrace in Tokyo.
@@lawsonransom8318 why do you say that?
@@craigose4914 why not say it?
I guess that you don't have a reason. I was just wondering how he was a public disgrace. I mean I could see saying that about several other athletes.
@@craigose4914 you can guess whatever you want. I don't owe you any explanation, now beat it.
Frank wastes a lot of energy. He’d be a beast if he knew direction changes, releasing pressure and how to finish shots and offense on top...
😆 🤣 😂
LOL...He is a beast. He won titles on every level what in the world are you talking about?
@@eddys.razorxp6445 you can win titles and still be inefficient with your energy. you miss the point of the comment and your response is irrelevant.
stall king
Dake
I was like ah yes Kyle has a point of any kind now to do what he always does stall like a god until he end
dake stalled the entire match if ref wasn’t blind would’ve been 5-1
@Lorin Sanchez ending period alone dake ran the entire time not to mention the 2nd
@Lorin Sanchez if u knew wrestling u wouldn’t be asking me abt math

What a joke!!!!.. no stalling?!?!?! Kid was running the whole match!!!!
7:29 point in the match that is a take down by Dake
i really wish the people talking would shut up.
Weird. The match I watched the guy in blue won. Blue was crazy strong. I see why they call him the hulk. Pushed red all over the mat. Red was all defense.
You don't win by pushing your opponent around the mat. It's not sumo wrestling.
he certainly initiated more exchanges, ragdoll physics aside

@@GoodAsianFood22 Obviously not. Did you not watch the video? Jusr cause you root for Penn State doesn't mean your right. Ask Sandusky.
I like Dake, but Molinaro outwrestled him. Dake should have been called for stalling in the first period.
The festive jar originally rescue because onion phylogentically chase sans a jagged pull. nine, lamentable flax
Fake I mean
You can click those 3 dots to the right and edit your comment to "Dake" and correct it.
Fake, is great.....damn
Spell check
Very healthy guts. But need to go to Russia to train. Waste too much time.
Boring
To the untrained eye…
That was a weak win he stalled the whole time
Molinaro won, everybody knows.
Mmmm.......
Uh no!
what were you watching?
@@rickc16 Same video you did. Was the score different when you watched it
I dont think you're sentient.
Molinaro is a MUCH better wrestler!
So how did he lose?
@@loucorona2684 Nobody knows. With Dake running out of bounds on the single leg and then not getting called or warned for stalling? Americas guess is the ref won it for him.
@@brianegal2286 So trying to escape the single leg os stalling? Maybe he should have executed the take down better? Still lost the match.
@@loucorona2684 There's a book on wrestling available. If you don't understand the sport why would you make comments?
Well dake cleared it up when he took down, reversed, rode like seabiscuit and turned molinaro in the ncaa finals that year
As the announcer said: "Good action!"
Sad reffing. I like Dake, but Molinaro was robbed.
not in the finals though. He absolutely crushed him in the finals.
Ryan Z woah good observation Sherlock too bad this isn't the NCAA finals we're talking about

You can't be serious.
7:29 singlet grab. Dake won by either 2 or 3 points.
Then pounds frank in the finals
