Gio is getting back to his flame on days! He was trolling in the end of the game, Izzy shouldn’t take it personal. Izzy said I’m reffing all his games from now on!! Lmaoooo
Honestly the reffing in this tournament was absolutely horrible. I don't blame the bickering this time around. Everything was bad like wrong calls, missed calls, incorrect scorekeeping on several games, etc etc. Also, looks like Gio beefed up the right way unlike Timbo. Gio's rant at the end had me rolling 🤣😂
Great game. Glad Los switched his kicks. Gio can act crazy, but he was right on a few of them. First the ref says you make the call and I'll confirm it (2:33), then he makes the call (12:51). Unless I didn't hear Los call? Also when Gio hit Los on the back swing (20:24). If Los said it doesn't matter, then he's admitting it. But at 16:38, I think Los was moving in and still had momentum, not trying to walk and block Gio? Great hustle from both though.
Gio is right Los is a cheater. Good job Gio do not let them get in your head. they do not know how to ref that is correct. Do not forget Gio this is Erik.
I like both these players their both very talented. The other day I was speaking to somebody from NY that’s down here in SA now & I was telling him I like the way Los plays & the first thing he said was that he’s a cheater I was like wow didn’t know that but nonetheless I still like Los as a player & this was a damn good game, nothing better than to watch 2 killers going at it on the court 😎🤙🏼
Just because you love the game and are trying to advance the sport doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a good Ref. Obviously some are better than others. It takes a combination of certain skills and personal attributes. Carlos C makes it look easy but this game reminds us that it's not easy.
OK after watching this video four times I can honestly say that self-proclaimed referee cannot ref. Los or any player cannot move on opposite opponent swing, when Los said it doesn’t matter that was confirmed that Gio did hit him in the backswing, and when he said to Gio Lowes box him out that wasn’t a box out he was leaning into Gio shot that’s was a point for Gio. Then the ref gets upset because Gio told him the truth lml it’s Ref’s like him that make the players disrespectful to not just the refs but each other.
Also, during this match Los was constantly skirting the edges with limiting Gio's space as he attempted to return shots. Singles handball is battle of Angles, shot making and managing the real-estate on the court. If the player doesn't have enough ethics to allow the opponent space, the Refs have to reel-them-in during the game.
TH-cam algorithm got me here. I'm surprise Gio is still actively playing handball lol. What happen to Rookie and all the other players from back then? Are they still actively playing as well or just quit the sport entirely?
Say what you will about the reffing but the way players communicate with the ref is why handball will never be on ESPN despite how dynamic and exciting it is.
Something crucial missing from handball is a more hierarchical divide between ref and player, especially in big tournaments like this. The way players act, it's as if the refs have no authority. Other sports have this: yellow/red flags in soccer, technical fouls in basketball, code violation in tennis, etc. Belligerent behavior should not be accepted. As seen with other players in other videos in this channel, players can defend themselves without acting out. Where's the sportsmanship?
@@macabreenterprise1823 Sportsmanship =/= classy Plenty of players in other sports are assertive when they need to be without being disrespectful. Nobody wants to invest money in a sport where the players can't control themselves. How can handball grow with no sponsors? Nobody can make a living being a handball player at the level it's at now. Wanna vent and argue? Join a debate team 🤷♂️
I don’t like the ref at the end saying “i’m gonna ref all your games” if he’s acting belligerent and ridiculous like this, can’t you just dq him? In the finals match, one of the refs said something like “come on guys this is the US Open” but allowed this nonsense to happen
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK PEOPLE REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR TODAY NOT TOMORROW PEOPLE WHICH IS PROMISED TO NOONE ON THIS EARTH AT ALL.
Rookie need to come back and embarrass all these fools one last time… All these A players left on single digits by a rook 15 years older than all of them. This makes all the complaining even sillier… like get over yourselves lmao
Gio bantering with the ref is wayyyyyy better than when Timbo does it 🤷🏽♂️
21:11 caught me off guard how was that even possible never seen that in handball before
lamooo
No block..

That down the line shot Gio hit at 20:13 was insane!
Any game with Gio is always fun to watch XD
Fuccin love when gio be talking his shit , good old times
Lmfaoo gio is fucking crazy but a great player great game

The backswing in the chest was when he saw it and as fixing to be killed already
51 seconds in you can see the tensions starting. Did Los assume right and move prematurely during Gio's swing?

Yeah that 13:00 wasn’t a moving, if anything the other guy committed the hold

Nice rally right from the start. These guys meant business.
@0:48
Los is a beast gio is a beast great match & energy
It takes a special person to ref his games
What a ending !! Intense
So entertaining these two are. 🤣😂🤣
For the upcoming gladiator tournament can anyone join and if anyone can who should I contact
There’s no battle of the gladiators this year. Warrior’s ultimate open singles is coming up though. Find William Rolon on Facebook
Thansk for the info I really appreciate it tens finest
atrocious reffing
Hey Los if you reading the comments, you handled gios antics like a boss, kept cool, respect.
GIO jayed the ref all in his mouth tho
Great match. Great reffing on tough calls.
🤬🗣🦓G!O crazy man... but I like it. Very entertaining.🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
21:11 toastyyyy😂😂
TH-cam algorithm got me here. I'm surprise Gio is still actively playing handball lol. What happen to Rookie and all the other players from back then? Are they still actively playing as well or just quit the sport entirely?
rookie still plays but the guys like almost 50
I still play top ball my brother
Thanks for asking
Rookie’s a lot older than Gio. Gio was only 36 in this game. Rookie was still winning the KOTC into his 40s

Let's make a new handball shirt, Why so close?

Where's the sportsmanship?
Handball isn’t a classy sport. Ain’t no time for bitch ass shit like yellow cards. You gotta vent, you vent

Can we start calling traveling 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Every Call Was Correct
@16:09 😂
everyone calling Los a cheater but boy got some legs man. Matching 6s and 7s ain't it lol
15:15
🔵👋
I love watching them play each other. They both cheat lol
Whoever the tournament organizer is should never let the ref be a ref in any other tournament again. Just absolutely terrible.
The ref is actually the tournament host 😂😂
All that bickering needs to stop. It's bad for the game.
Gio is still amazing, but he's still crazy, ref needs to control the game, I think Los got screwed.
Gio is so embarrassing when he acts this way. It’s hard to watch sometimes.
Gio was embarrassing? But not Los punching himself and having intense foul mouth conversation with himself? Oh, the irony.
@@Nightmaresins exactly to himself. He’s not aggravating others with his antics.

Is being a cry baby apart of this sport?
Bad ref horrible no wonder why handball isn't on tv nationally smh....Great Game but disappointed by refs calls...
you think it's the bad calls and not Gio always bitching and acting like he's on cocaine? Ok then
@@omgitsme435 it's the bad calls...gio was playing perfectly fine till Izzy fucked up some calls...let's get this straight Gio isn't timbo
@@ymnfamily713 lol it's pretty close though, Timbo definitely has that tiara locked down
so many dirty plays from gio, pushing his opponent inwards. then complain and complain some more yikes
Adam shut up you must be a c player can u beat gio?? No !!!so instead you rather bash him on TH-cam comments smh just like a duck to speak out loud .
