He found a way to keep andrew on his back foot and unable to sweep, reverse, or sub. And he showed that while maintaining his position, he was getting closer to successfully passing and securing top position. Very good match by both.
Wiltse is a good wrestler. The shot was there. Personally I think they should have both been called for stalling. Guaresi had no intention of actually passing the guard.
Why didn't Andrew stand up and work for a takedown from there. Instead of always trying to come up for a sweep.tkd from the seated position? Was his opponent a really good wrestler
I am also very curious, Andrew this time is very very cautious, maybe he was very tried from last game or he was somehow injured(not comfortable at somepoint)
If I remember it correctly he had a back injury (not sure) that kept him from going for takedown. He commented on a another match from this tournament here on RU-vid on why he wasn't so active.
@Jake if it were like that then a lot of finals matches would be ties. And then there would be no one who wins. It happens to often that’s why there are 1-3 referees to decide a winner based on who they think did better and who is more deserving of the medal.
