Wow! That is a crazy result to me. I too bought into the Echemendia hype. I thought just on his neutral offense alone he was going to be a force. What’s interesting is that this is just the preliminary match at 141. The winner (Decatur) now faces D’Emilio for the spot. I think Decatur will definitely be better at 141 but he still can’t get off bottom and has one of the worst gas tanks I’ve ever seen. Maybe going at 141 and not cutting weight will help that problem. I still think D’Emilio wins that match pitting Echemendia 3rd string.I fell for the Echemendia trap, I admit it--I thought he was going to be a force, even if his mat wrestling was Abe-esque. But this result is surprising. Decatur must feel better at 141....
