Nick Suriano's Biggest Test Of The Year So Far 

Never stopped wrestling! Dude from Turkey was no joke!

At least he stayed in the fight. Showed some heart on the mat.

Good show of class by both wrestlers after the match. Squashed it

Suriano wrestling like a heavyweight

His biggest challenge of the year: focusing on the match when the woman I want to marry and start my homestead farm with was reffing.

All the respect Wrestled to the end . Would like to see some more offensive moves from Nick

All I see is a bad ass wrestler that needs a bit more experience on freestyle. Soon to be champ.

Odd title. Biggest test kind of implies that he passed the test. "Suriano fails biggest test of the year so far"? Just a weird title.

I remember Atli beating Gilman for world bronze 5 years ago. Tough dude

Yea after the points it was just defensive wrestling. Fair play to him though, got the points early and used them to his advantage

Dang the dude from Turkey is a beast. Makes me wonder how guys get that good

tested??? He got run over

Where was the urgency to score? Not one shot for two minutes?? Just trying to headbutt the guy out the circle for one

Never give up! That's what I saw!

I remember when David Taylor first went into world class freestyle. He got his butt kicked too. But it sure didn't stay that way. Give Suriano some time.

Just wondering does imply that at 57kg would have to be a wrestle off with Suriano, Spencer and Gilman for the Olympic team??

Keep grinding nick

Suriano is a great fighter but is in the thick of it now. All those college kids will seem like cream puffs now that he is in international competition. He will need to take his game to the next level. It's had to imagine how wrestlers like Jordan and Snyder were at that level right out of college. Other great college wrestlers that seem invincible, like Metcalf and Nickles, couldn't make the switch. I hope Suriano can.

Anyone that can score like that on Suriano is a total beast I would imagine that guy could easily be a world gold medalist! I’m not familiar with really anyone who isn’t American that does good tbh!

smart moves from Süleyman

Idk how you expect to win when you take your first shot of the match 5 minutes and 56 seconds into a 6 minute match. . .

Suriano was awesome in high school. I think once Fix beat him in the super32 and Gilman waxed him at Penn State he just sort of gave up. He did beat Glory but the match against Fix was a referee error. He was always very strong for his weight class and at the peak of endurance. Once he got to college level he kept running into fit and strong technicians.

Why does the mat have such a loose surface? Is this common for international wrestling. It seems like it could trip people up.

I saw loads of improvement from him in this match but he isn’t the only one getting better. Everyone is getting better. Wrestling is such a humbling sport. It will reward you for your hard work, resolve and willingness to improve upon yourself but the minute you get complacent you will come down plummeting to earth from orbit. Makes this sport amazing to watch

Humble in defeat, He is only gonna get better and that's scary for his foes.

Nick is a goat he keeps training like he is and work hard he’ll be fine

No clue how Turkey is a 57kg, dude looks big but, same goes for Gilman I guess. Really interested in seeing Gilman side by side with some of the guys he wrestled in NCAAs against cause he's built way bigger now

Keep that fire, your still growing brother....stay focused and keep it up!

Man that ref can get it

Nick showed a lot in this defeat though was one of my fav wrestlers when I was in high school and still is one of them

Call it like it is. Nick’s opponent had solid skills and easily outclassed Nick. Nick was moving a lot but his movements were inefficient and ineffective. This guy was smooth and skillful. Nick has a hardcore attitude but he isn’t slick. This guy wrestled much better on the outside and had a solid front headlock/transition game. Nick needs serious technical work if he wants to win a national freestyle title. Not hating. I’m his fan. He simply got exposed here. I hope he improves.

Will someone explain how that second takedown was 6 pts?

Suriano, what happened to the scrambling!? But regardless, tough match, and he will be champ soon!

Gave up 6 trying not to give takedown outta the quad pod position! He will be just fine,got a learn,was a great opponent from turkey! Every time Nick fake a shot the guy went to drop!Learn from wrestling the best!

Turkey great defense a good gut wrench. Nick has to work on turning them.

Wow

Nick is a good guy

bros strong

Suriano wasn’t as offensive as he’s been in other match ups, but the score isn’t Indicative of the match. That score discrepancy was the result of one series and could have gone either way. Close match up.

Nicky gotta get some more offense and then he’s unstoppable

nicks biggest test is gonna be against gilman, lee, if he wants to be a Olympian

Way to go Nick, at least he didn't get double digits on you. Your hype exceeds your ability lately. Looks like you're keeping up with your tan more than you wrestling.

Love Suriano. Tough match.

Suriano got smoked holy cow

💯

Gets tested? Gets worked!

Nick got smoked! Welcome to the worlds best fella

Test? He got whooped

1:40 they actually start wrestling

That Turkey dude is GOOD! Nick, not so much…..

Failed the test. If Nick can't out-muscle his opponent, he's done.

Very defensive from the Turkish guy, good wrestling nonetheless

Nick didn’t look confident this match

The Turk looked 12 pounds heavier.

Dude Suriano never took a shot. Only faked for 6 mins

Test Failed

A loss is good for Suriano. He is a great athlete but not exactly humble. This may light a fire under him.

Stalling

No level changes from Suriano. Didn't seem to be in his element.

Turk only has counters. 99% of his steps are backwards.

What’s with the crap mat?

Not a single good shot in 6 minutes. I so wish Fix would have beat him and gotten a national championship…. Defense wins. If it didn’t we wouldn’t ever say the name Suriano.

Lady ref can get it 🎂 🙌🏼

If there is such a thing that is as good as a loss can get.

these Matt's are horrible never understood it

suriono will win next time they wrestle

Yummy 🤤
