I don’t know that I have ever been more shocked looking at a result than I was when I saw this score and saw over 5 minutes of riding time. He cut throw sea bass like a hot knife thru butter.
Some guys know how to ride without trying to turn, which is what Mueller did. It still amazes me how Rivera was 2-0 against Lee. I guess it has to do with length. Mueller and Micic both took down River quite easily with the pass by, which is effective for a tall wrestler against a short wrestler.
It was also rumored lee had mono and had barely gotten better by the time of the tournament. I feel that this was very evident when he was pinned by nick pichinni
I keep telling people this and the wrestlers on my former team. If your wrestling a really good wrestler and you know you have a long shot to win, make the match ABSOLUTE HELL. Do not give the guy anything, make him work for the escape, get away from him quickly, pressure him the whole time and don’t let him get to his moves on the feet. Make that guy work for everything. Mueller wrestled a very smart match. Took Rivera down almost immediately, knowing he couldn’t spend much time on the feet, riding him hard for the whole match, and just competing and making every position difficult
if you watch the match between rivera and micic it’s basically the same offensive strategy. Mueller said that it was the match he studied to come up with his offensive game plan.
Lee and Micic both have such great flexibility which go well with their strength and mat awareness...tough to take down and relentless...but this weight class has had loads of talent that entertainment value that is remarkable... Mueller was just too strong for Rivera, in this match at least. Who is the Jesus Is Fake profile with repeated and same goading comments of post...LMAO...what a jerk..

he didn't choke Mueller is just the better wrestler and I don't think Rivera deserved the 1 seed. Rivera is an amazing wrestler but I dont think number 1 good
@@smashbandicoot7428 whens the last time rivera made it to the finals? hes a great wrestler but the fact is he chokes on the big stage and lee thrives in it
Great offense by mueller with three takedowns. But guys, although ok by rule DOUBLE BOOTS IS THE ULTIMATE PARALLEL RIDE.. it’s stalling! You can inflict pain but you cannot turn a man with two legs in. Shame on Rivera for letting boots. I know one very difficult counter to double boots bit time and time again I see guys just get them in and sit there. In 50 years I have NEVER seen am Man turned unless one boot comes out. They need a rule change.
Mueller allowed to stall mostly the whole match... Bizarre. Commentators need to learn about wrestling. That’s called stalling from the top position. They’re praising the ride. Just bizarre.
Taketheredorbluepill Rivera’s job to get out not Mueller’s to let him out I don’t think u understand how hard it is to ride a wrestler for a minute let alone 5
the leg ride is most certainly a stall move while on top if not able to turn the bottom guy, not sure why officiating is not instructed to call it that way, or at least at a minimum to call stalemate much much sooner if the top guy is not able to improve his position and then call him for stalling if he continues to do it without improving
