The action was at an all-time high and the matchups had everyone ooo-ing and ahhh-ing until the final stop sign was handed out at last week's U.S. Open.
The action was at an all-time high and the matchups had everyone ooo-ing and ahhh-ing until the final stop sign was handed out at last week's U.S. Open in Las Vegas.
Between a never-ending stream of huge throws and high-flying moves, it's understandable if you missed some of biggest moments of the Greco competition. But don't worry, we've got you covered with a rundown of the best matches that went down at the Open.
Ben Provisor vs. Joe Rau
In a hole early, Provisor showed grit and poise to get back in the match and score the much-needed points to get the win. But both of these guys put on a show while putting up 24 points.
Sam Hazewinkel vs. Randon Miranda
Did the refs get this one scored right? Hazewinkel ended up with the win to punch his ticket to the finals, but should the points have gone to Miranda during a controversial exchange?
Leslie Fuenffinger vs. Dalton Roberts
A near pin, a grinding comeback, and a narrow victory. This one had it all.
Kamal Bey's Halftime Show
For those of us who busted out our big move bingo boards when Kamal Bey was on the mat, he had you covered for two spaces. There’s no way we could pick just one of his matches to go here. He’s a human highlight reel so enjoy the sweet slickness of Bey’s high-energy title run.
Round of 16 | Quarters | Semis
Watch him win the 77kg title:
Ryan Mango vs. Jesse Thielke
It didn’t last very long when these two vets hit the mat. It was a full-on "Air Mango" show.
Peyton Walsh vs. Jesse Porter
Most thought that it would be another edition of Bey vs. Porter in the finals; however, Peyton Walsh stepped in and canceled those plans as he edged Porter to make the finals.
Daniel Miller vs. Devon Amburgy
The eventual champ Miller had a tough start as he and Amburgy hung nearly 30 on the board in the second round.
Robby Smith's Strong Finish
Move out of the way, the bearded beast is coming through. Smith said it himself: the first day is for the show, the second day is for business. Smith pitched a shutout as he claimed another U.S. Open title.
Watch Robby go back-to-back with both of his signature moves to get the tech and make the finals:
