He wanted to take bottom against Wick, but the coaches

told him not to. I think they made the correct call because I could see Wick riding parallel with boots in (as they say) and the next thing you know he has an RT point and Lewis does not have an escape point.

But when Wick chose top earlier in the bout, Lewis did a great job getting out.

I wonder if what happened with White had any bearing on all of that.

The thing is White was able to beat him with a rideout and an escape. I would like to see Lewis generate more of his own offense so that he has more margin for error.

Again, I am making these comments without the benefit of knowing much about wrestling.

That's really cool, there are a lot of camera angles in there -- samistone 08/02/2019 11:52AM

His defense on 1 leg is ridiculous. -- hokie576 08/02/2019 10:23AM

IMO ML's single leg defense was a major reason why he won it all. ** -- Hokie Flyer 08/02/2019 1:52PM

What can Lewis do better to avoid those situations in the first place? -- dallasvt 08/02/2019 2:40PM

Not much. Maybe some tilt action on top -- emhokie 08/02/2019 2:51PM
