Henson would never get taken down with 10 seconds left and no stalling

Catka earned the right to be up 2-0 and all he had to do was control center for a minute and then start blatantly stalling. People may frown upon this mentality, but use the rules to your advantage, especially as an underdog. Exactly how Mekhi won against an AA and nobody is complaining.

so far I HATE the 3-point takedown. Catka match is the perfect example why

I am not a fan of the change either, but I am a bit of a purist…. I just

Catka lost because he didn’t wrestle smart
texashokie1 • 11/13/23 11:02 PM ET
I know why he lost and you're right. He didn't wrestle smart late. My point
HokieToph • 11/14/23 07:07 PM ET
Catka's mat wrestling put him in a position to win and he gave it away
donjfs3 • 11/14/23 07:58 PM ET
Not being very bright**

I feel like Mekhi's win is a better example of the downside.

Doesn’t matter
Rokie08 • 11/13/23 09:24 PM ET
Feldman let Catka up on an optional start. Catka didn’t work for the escape**
TartanHokie • 11/13/23 05:59 PM ET
still doesn't matter. Catka was up 2-0 after riding feldman the full 2 mins
HokieToph • 11/13/23 06:10 PM ET
Agree with your comments. It did seem that the ref on Friday called
ChEHokie78 • 11/13/23 06:25 PM ET
Catka didn’t lose the match because of the new rule.
TartanHokie • 11/13/23 06:24 PM ET
I like the added value to the takedown
Hikinghokie • 11/13/23 04:13 PM ET
I agree with this take. I like the new 3 pt TD.**
Hokie Flyer • 11/13/23 06:14 PM ET
It's an easy argument to make that getting near fall points are much harder
HokieToph • 11/13/23 05:44 PM ET
I’m ok with three point TD as long as they make a reversal three as well
CTDad • 11/13/23 04:20 PM ET
I would argue a wrestler who earns an escape and riding point
HokieToph • 11/13/23 05:47 PM ET
What if the escape was from an optional start?**
TartanHokie • 11/13/23 06:01 PM ET
Doesn't matter. Catka was up 2-0 with 9 seconds left and lost on one move**
HokieToph • 11/13/23 06:13 PM ET
Riding for 1 plus minute is not a move.
Hokie Flyer • 11/13/23 06:17 PM ET
If that were Caleb Henson, you'd likely think differently.
HokieToph • 11/14/23 06:59 AM ET
Henson would never get taken down with 10 seconds left and no stalling ◄
donjfs3 • 11/14/23 11:55 AM ET
Agreed**
TartanHokie • 11/13/23 06:29 PM ET
I very much agree here**
Hikinghokie • 11/13/23 04:33 PM ET
This just reiterates my original point
HokieToph • 11/13/23 05:46 PM ET
It was the only offensive scoring move the entire match. Feldman earned it.**
Hokie Flyer • 11/13/23 06:18 PM ET
Agreed**
TartanHokie • 11/13/23 06:29 PM ET
Feldman earned it. Catka should have stalled out the last 45 seconds or so
