Top wrestler in the country gets UPSET! | Jesse Mendez vs. Casey Swiderski 

The over under throw off the shot defense was beautiful. No points, but it was still beautiful.

You can watch swiderskis confidence build after each point he scores. That last takedown was a gorgeous example of effort 🤌. awesome match all around.

Both guys wrestled offensively-what makes USA wrestling great compared to internationals. Swiderski plays the edge of the mat but uses it as an offensive (re-strike) tactic. He shoots and shoots and shoots. So did Mendez. That rivalry will not end here, thankfully for fans.

That was the most beautiful lat drop I've ever seen

That over under throw😳

One of the most aggressive matches I’ve ever seen start to finish

I absolutely loved this match. Everything about it. The competitiveness, the skills , the heart and passion of both. Great job men!

Dundee has had a lot of hammers but this guy is one of the best they have had. And that is saying a lot from that place.

Ahh to be excited about wrestling again. This is what i like to see. Beautiful wrestling

11:45 “He’s going to have to pull something out of his……..back pocket” 😂 almost slipped up

Even though it was out of bonds I always love seeing a good lat drop.

The moment that throw happened, homie realized he was no longer #1

WHAT A THROW.

Swiderski finally got the chance he deserved and he showed out

11:03....that was a work of art. great match

That was 3 cautions, and the call was missed by both refs.

Both of these guys are wrestling at the top level now this is crazy congrats to them both ‼️

There was ZERO stall at the end. That's a BS point awarded.

Great for Iowa state. It will be great have that great rivalry get closer

Wild to see these guys wrestle eachother again in the super card

These two dudes should wrestle each other once a month. That was awesome

That was FUN and I am glad that those cautions didn't change the outcome of the match.

Nice match to both. Amazing.

Any wrestler could be beaten on any given day #facts!!! Great match, great show by both athletes

great match! that lateral throw in the 3rd was dope! too bad it was outta boundz

Love when the underdog prevails!

Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico!

Great match just an even fight a neck to neck battle between two skillful grapplers👍😀

MAN, this was an EXCITING match!😃 I think Swiderski has got a great future, Lord willing. It'll be interesting to see what he accomplishes in the coming years. I'm still not used not seeing the wrestling done in singlets!🎽

Great Job spoiling the results, I couldn't have done it better myself.

This is the best sport to watch because they are in a competition, they are young, all of them have been doing this their whole lives with a lot of training and meets and school events .. its one on one.. and they come from all over the country to compete to be the best, not for money but just glory just because they love to do it. In the pros they are all doing it for money, everyone is grown and doesnt care as much each game ..and there are so many games that it is diluted.. the reason this is better is bc you are watching a tourny and they are ranked, theres mystery about each person bc although they are somewhat well known in their communities they are so young that they are still growing and getting smarter so each year when they meet again it already has some drama built up.

Ayyyyy!! Swiderski's corner with the Mike Ritland Teamdog.pet shirt 🔥🔥🔥

@13:06 the coach was about to smack his butt then stopped mid way.lol

That was great.

10:58 let’s just say Mendez will remember the day that he went on a ride 😂😂

How bout that call!! Way to call a wrestling match!! Those two are great!

Should’ve went to overtime if that dang caution didn’t point. We needed one more period lol. Fun match. Mendez looks like he is wrestling up two divisions, especially after the throw. Wow!!! Was intense!!

They look so young! Incredible. Have either of these guys had much success internationally?

Who won in the dual meet??

I screamed on that hip toss

As a wrestler if you have these big matches: The Who’s number one, etc. At least have a decent ref like cmon a ref is the third person to dictate a matches pace and fluidity after the wrestlers. If they’re calling bs calls it slows the match down and stalls it out completely. Flo if you read this try to implement something new with the refs please! Or find a John McCarthy, or Herb Dean please! Much love and I love the videos keep it up, I’m just trying to give some insight from a athletes perspective.

Dat THROW!!!!😳😍😍😍

3:07 that’s actually such a crazy statement no one caught that

Here recently i am seeing to many refs influincing match outcomes

Reppin the mitten

Wow! That throw tho!

Really nice match 👌🏾

🔥 🔥 love a good upset.

beautiful wrestling

I’ve rolled with Casey before when he was at Jordan’s here in Ohio & that kid is a stud on the mat! Especially if he gets ahold of you like we seen when he hit that over under throw

Swiderski is a strong kid! If he stays in Michigan he could be what everyone hoped Suriano might be! A true NCAA champion!

Mendez still gonna have a real good career

Damn good match

Swiderski is a stud he has heart and style

This kid put a clinic on 4x IHSA Champ. Nasir Bailey, Little Rock Committ. Casey is no joke mannnnn

Normally I like the commentary but they were too much. Breaks in talking are ok guys. Was this broadcast over the radio too?

That was some wild-ass wrestling! Get high and watch it in slow-mo. You can catch the Avant Garde Ape Show!

that throw was so mean💀

More and more it seems like desire and wind--cardio I mean, has a lot to do with it. Who has a bit more in the tank.

Can we rename the lat drop a whizzer bomb??

So if he called two cautions in the beginning of the 3rd then that’s 3 total.

Why does the ref look like he's wearing eye makeup lmao

just goes to show rank in highschool and collegiate wrestling doesnt matter at all to an extent.

That throw @ 11:03 tho!

Why dont they have headgear?

11:00 best part

Stall points are awarded too quickly and too easily. Mindless aggression. They won't be satisfied until they over officiate like basketball

I thought he was going to throw em into the crowd...

11:04 YOOOO

Haven't forgiven Jesses school eversince they beat us by four for the state championship lol good match. Go Indiana!!!

What a match!

Based off of top P4P year after year, I don’t think this years class has anyone who’s so far ahead of their peers as compared to when Mocco, Taylor, Stevenson, etc were seniors.

11:42 you know you are desperate when you put your body weight on your opponent after the whistle just to get any slight little advantage you can .

That duck under attempt/fake was disgusting. I gotta try that

I remember the time Scotty Higgens beat Warnaki.

Michigan tough

11:04 That look on Mendez's face says it all. Got to high and got caught.

When you pass him at your school😀 he’s crazy at wrestling

So the guy shown first at the screen was 138 lbs?? DUDE I SAW 12 YR OLDS WEIGHING 150

Dundee VS Everybody

he sounds like Dana White, the commentator

idc how close the points were. mendez got swamped by the smaller guy

Simmons in his corner

Damn

Refereeing raises questions.

Kind of cool to see them in comfortable Gym trunks and shirt instead of the normal singlet. The timing of that throw was perfect.

If he didn’t get lose the caution point he would’ve won.😐

So we are supposed to believe some yutz from Indiana is the best in the country? I think your premise is faulty there.

sweden beats mexico

Swiderski dominated Mendez in the rematch tonight

Looks like the commentators missed the point given for the 2d caution at 8:04 to even it up to 4-4.

Awwww, made the commentators look dumb.... apparently they were on the wrong balls

Tired of fake swirling ads on YT.

It was a great match and both of these young men deserve congratulations for their efforts, but where is the head gear? Cauliflower ear is not a badge pf honor, It is painful and it lasts a lifetime

If uniforms looked like that in high school wrestling I would have wrestled! Couldn’t get past the singlet, now training bjj and judo I regret it terribly and as an adult there aren’t really any options to learn wrestling.

Mendez isn’t legal with his head so far up close to his opponents. You can tell he is a unfair I’ll do anything to win type guy.

Spanish guys are typically erratic. They use a lot of emotion but you will find they come out on the win end a great deal. Thinking of IMAR, Lugo, Delgado, Escobedo Rivera.

Is it just me or does the referee have 2 big black eyes?

You can run on for a looong time...

actually an exciting match …
