How in the world does Euton have a stalling with two takedowns and 1:30 of riding time
Didn’t return him to the mat to close out the 1st period on top.
Idk man. Didnt see the match,but Jax is like 19-20 and been in a college room for a total of about 2 weeks. Ortega is like 26-27. Would think Jax has more room for improvement.
I watched it and Ortega took the shots and was the aggressor.. I do get what you’re saying but Jax has been at this level for awhile I mean he beat Vito at final x. He’s no slouch.
Jax has been in that room full time for 2 weeks but lets not forget DT broke the 250mile rule having him be in the room this past year
Ortega is a world champion (U23) and has defeated a world champion (Gilman). Even the best lose matches from time to time. I doubt he's inherently less of a wrestler or has a shorter ceiling than Forrest. Also, they were wrestling folk style, in which Forrest probably has a lot more experience.
The way the match played out (from what I can tell watching stick figures and reading the scoreboard) was about the best that Ortega could have hoped for in a folkstyle match. They were on their feet the entire time. I'm not knocking Ortega at all. I hope he gains eligibility and wins a Natty for us. But Forrest is just really, really good.
Forrest is a generational talent.
Ortega chose neutral, so Jax only rode him at the end of the match.
That’s because when he shot Ortega about put him on his back but the first period ended just in time for him. Did see many real TD attempts after that.
No doubt Forrest is a big problem on top.
The point is Ortega didn’t get lucky to only lose 4-0. He controlled the action on his feet. I think he was too cautious from the front head lock but obviously they knew that Forrest is very good at scoring from that position.
Jax feels like a future Olympic medalist.
