Carter showed why he's ranked #1 at 184. Great, gutsy win. I've seen the comparisons to Dake in terms of their ability and will to win. Tonight, he showed it.

On the flipside, I'm not sure why the refs continually allowed Keck to walk around the mat after every stoppage and catch a lunger. It was blatant stalling and at some point, a warning and maybe even a point should have been given.
Was he pulling up his socks?

Mendez 4-1 over Bartlett. TD by Mendez right at the buzzer in the 1st period was the difference
Beau MUST open up a lot more like Van Ness. Mendez wants a low scoring match. He’s smart and he waited until Beau was a tiny bit relaxed during the last seconds of that 3rd period to go get that Take down.

I'm not sure why Beau gave up the takedown in the first with the clock expiring. He could have held that position for another second to finish the period. I'm guessing a mental lapse where he lost track of the clock. Still though an unusual move from an experienced guy. The only difference I can see between him and Mendez is the mental component. Skill-wise they are dead even, but again Mendez is a step ahead on the decision-making side of things.
Post in dead on about Beau. He just needs to go out and let it by getting his SET UPS and go. Wrestle like Van Ness. Mendez wants a low scoring match.
