Every year, he's improved nicely. This was a good match for him. The final will be tough, but those two wrestle the same way -- hard nosed. It will come down to whoever wrestles harder nosed. |
It's a good day anytime a No. 4 guy beats a No. 2 one. That was a good win for him. He got a little confidence on his feet and got the takedown. I teased him this was the first time in his life he's ever taken feet as a choice, and he got the takedown. |
You have to come down here wanting to win. And he's worked hard after placing fifth last year. He got hungry and is going as hard as he can. |
