Nick Suriano vs. Pat Glory: 2022 NCAA wrestling championship final (125 lb.) 

Lex!!!!

Love seeing you here 💪

Hi Lex! Congrats Suriano! Go Blue!

Lex is definitely a true combat sport enthusiast!

I agree the paywalls to view anything make wrestling so hard to find

Dude it was so cool! He added so much energy to the matches too.

Gotta agree. He was like the Tony Romo of the NCAA Wrestling Championships. For many years, it's been vanilla. Jeff Blatnick was amazing with his commentary. Watch the Rob Rohn (Lehigh) finals match. Jeff called everything correctly after Rohn's cement job. But I liked DC -- he's reaching the younger generation. That's what this sport needs.

Nope, DC is a tool! Besides, didn’t he cheat on national TV?

He talks to much about WWE/MMA crap. Much rather David Taylor, Anthony Robles, Dan Gable, Gene Mills or Barry Davis as guest commentators.

@@05sidedfistagon huh? Cheat?

ESPN finally streaming the championship for free

Need to get PEACOCK on board

Absolutely

Right? I don’t understand how I have ESPN+ and Peacock and still have to buy cable to watch the Championships live. Glad NCAA is posting these.

I know next to nothing about wrestling, but I love watching the best in the world at any sport compete! :)

Lmaooo

There is absolutely no difference. He also mentioned that it was her birthday. CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. Suriano!

He’s cutting weight and just wrestled 3 rounds.

And I would like these wrestling matches to start being broadcast here on cable TV in Brazil, I love wrestling and I even dream of one day being recruited by an American university to fight in the NCAA in the future

@@DragunovWaynehave you done it yet?

@@thatoddball4792 If everything goes well it will be 2025 and try at a community college first and then a transfer

That is what I’m saying. Pat was smothering him with clubs at the end and there’s not much you can do but circle to the middle like he was doing, still a great match tho

"dominated?" He won the match by 2 points-dominated? 8 or 10 to zip is "dominate"

@@jimquantic Suriano dominated him in every position but the bottom. Only one to score points. Glory almost won by stall calls in the 3rd. Glory did nothing but try and create stall calls. Sorry Glory that's not going to win you the match when you did nothing prior. The better wrestler won. Just my opinion.

@@jimquantic DOMINATED MOST THE MATCH....

@@billybalentine8065 You did say that Glory was trying his best to get a tilt? He came really close to success that one time. How can you then say that he did nothing but try and create stall calls? He worked for turns the whole time but just had little opportunity against Suriano, who was doing all he could just to prevent giving Glory an opening. I agree that the better wrestler won, but disagree with anyone who thinks that Glory was doing anything but trying to score points for the entire bout.

He also spent his RS freshman season nursing an ankle injury and watching two wrestlers he beat wrestle in the 125 finals. He beat the winner, Cruz 7-0 and the other finalist, Lizak, 8-6.

@@DiogenesLantern he's incredible man. Only imagine if he stayed at PENNSTATE. The training he would get would be on another level with RBY and Nick Lee

Also a 2× big ten champ at 2 different schools. Oh, we could also put in there a 2 weight champ.

I would like to see him in MMA, I think with his wrestling Nick would be dominant, greetings from Brazil

@@DragunovWayne and he’s a crazy motivated mofo he should try mma

He doesn’t care who he wrestles for but he’s transferred 300 times?

@@ethan3949but he wins everywhere he goes. So it must not matter

@@bradyrobin6356 yeah we all know he’s good at wrestling, not sure what point ur tryna make

WHAT?!?!?! He was decent in a weak high school pool. Gilman beat him and he hasn't wrestled at the same level since.

Based

Agree

He looked sucked out

Suriano is no joke but lee is a once in a lifetime type of wrestler

Suriano is 25

Suriano would get teched by the second period against lee

@@Packman33 Maybe, but it's not a given that Spencer Lee will attain his past status, or for that matter, even wrestle again competitively. I hope he does, but his situation is extremely serious.

Braids make me think he’s part of what’s wrong with the country- the radical left.

Jersey wrestling products! Garden State Grappling.

@@DB-115 Crazy how jersey is this good but wouldn't stand a chance against Pennsylvania guys like Spencer Lee

@@jesvinmathew5103 Pennsylvania, New York (where I wrestled for 2 years), and Cali being three tough states for wrestling.

Yeah so then he can quit like he quit Rutgers

Yeah he quit Rutgers and took a national title afterwards. What a LOSER! 😆

I'm not happy he left Rutgers either Robert, but we have no idea his reasons. He left to try and make the Olympics, so maybe things changed when he tried to return. It definitely looks like he wasn't supported by the coaches in Penn State when he got injured, so that appears to be the reason he left there. There's a few options in MMA nowadays.....I'd assume he'd wanna go the best one right now. He's gotta start training specifically for that first though, so he's a ways away.

Agreed. he got the only takedown, a reversal, and had dominant control. The official gave enough stall call points within reason. No way should stalling be worth a takedown and a reversal.

Not a one. Glad the refs didn’t make the final stalling call. Would have been criminal to send this into OT when Glory had done nothing to win.

So if you have more points you can’t stall? That’s literally when you stall the most. He was definitely stalling in the last period.

@Mark Huf Wow great argument. What was wrong with what I said? He literally laid there with his hands in, then when Glory let him up he ran away the rest of the match. The first stall call early on I didn’t agree with but those in the third were the right call.

@Mark Huf Wasn't Suriano running away in the last 30 seconds? Also, wasn't he laying flat out on his belly when he was on bottom?

Yeah he’s making action and not backing up. Suriano knows he should’ve got hit. In his mind he was looking to go to over time and it just worked out in his favor.

@@willgriffin3286 You are in favor of a Glory who scored 0 points. Pick anyone from the comment section and they could wrestle Nick and score 0 points.

I mean it’s yo to the ref they are obviously way more strict about it at this level but when I wrestled I never got flagged for stalling for what he did

Glory was obviously a much better wrestler. Suriano is more than 3 years older than him and only his strength made the difference. Suriano should have stayed at Penn State where he would have 3 NCAA championships without stealing one from Fox like he did in 2019.

@@quincyspielberger4366 Haters gonna hate, Winners gonna win.

@@quincyspielberger4366 stealing one from fix? hahahahaha. Fix stalls more in one period than Nick did in this match and his entire career.

@@rootsgrassusa LOL - Don't get your feelings hurt. That match was Fix's match. This year 25 year old Suriano beat 21 year old Glory - he muscled his way to a victory over a much better wrestler. That's wrestling!

@@quincyspielberger4366 I might be shooting myself in the foot by saying but I’m gonna say it anyway. I can’t change your opinion, if you think Glory is better, that’s your opinion and your entitled to it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that Suriano won just because of strength. The takedown and the reversal he got was from his great technique and movement, not so much strength. Even though Glory’s only points were penalty points, I think he made a statement by proving that Suriano is not as far away from the pack as people think he is

you aint lying. lee a different animal

Even if lee came back this year it wouldve been a still recovering and not fully healthy lee vs a healthy and more offensive than we've ever seen suriano due to his time in freestyle than in previous years. I dont know who would win bc im convinced lee can turn just about anyone on top but from a neutral position which is likely where it wouldve been and those key factors playing in, i think suriano probably wouldve had the edge just by a little. That first time they wrestled in college suriano lost but he was also injured and he only time he beat lee was as a freshmen and lee a 8th grader. Healthy im takin lee but odds this year wouldbe been suriano

@@jonahdelrio You do make some good points. However, I just cant bring myself to doubting Lee healthy or not lol. Dude won a national title with no acls like what in the world. And yeah i dont think theres a single person he could not turn. I wrestled in high school and always used that bar tilt but Lee just makes it look so easy

@@joeyvecchione2911 he did but he got surgery and with the time it takes sat out, and trying to fully recover from that i think suriano wouldve had the edge. I like both wrestlers and i'd prolly take lee anyday over suriano but bc of that factor i cant see it being anymore than either a 5-4 or a 3-2 at worst 7-2 in favor of suriano bc of it being more shots and lee not being able to get off too many attacks of his own. However freestyle coming up maybe we'll see lee back and him duke it out with suriano again which i think lee is the better freestyle wrestler of the two but upsets happen so ya never know fs

@@jonahdelrio True and like I said you make some great points. Hopefully we'll get to see the two go at it again at some point! Cheers, mate!

I'm from Brazil and I started wrestling because I dream a lot to be recruited by an American university and be able to have a match in the NCAA, I love wrestling since I saw it through American movies and series and when I got to know university fights and I hope I can make that dream come true, what were those injuries that prevented you from continuing?

Very intense at the stall, I was there live real embarrassing way to win it

@@forwhatitsworth woah woah. no Nick won a good match and this is the ncaa championship finals (the apex of the sport for collegiate), give respect and credit to his opponent and him for winning a gritty match. Everytime we get a dominant champ through the year they a lot of the time are challenged in the finals.

One of the best ever

They would go to OT

I’m dead

6 years and 3 colleges...unheard of really. He should have stayed at Penn State.

He avenged all three of his losses that year

@@therealhammer6068 national champ at 2 of them also

@@therealhammer6068 to be fair, he's in grad school now. Going to a different school for grad school is pretty normal imo.

He wasn't at any place long enough to determine where he was the best at!😆

Eminem +cornrows. Glory had no chance from the start.

Me too, future UFC Bantamweight Champion and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

and Myles lost in front of his home crowd and ended his career with a big L.

Not to mention it took a reigning national champion transfer in a bracket that was vacated by Spencer Lee lol calm down

@@tacticalteacher3163 awe

@@forwhatitsworth can’t win em all chap

Other than 125 they got their ass kicked at Nationals. This is about wrestling who gives any dog squeeze about basketball ?

i agree to an extend but there was like 28 seconds left. but maybe he though he coldnt ride him for another 28-30 seconds and if he escapes with lest say 5 seconds left there would be no time to get a takedown

Trying to win on his feet makes me respect him more.
