Matt Ramos vs Spencer Lee - 125 lb Semifinals - 2023 NCAA Championship

“This guy stinks” got me 😂😂

The most insane upset in wrestling history since Gable lost to Owings. We just witnessed history…

Hours before this match, Ramos had an interview and said he had a plan. You can really see him execute it here. 1) He chooses neutral in 3rd instead of bottom (Lee chose top in 2nd) because Lee's tilt is so deadly 2) He uses his Greco-Roman experience to full advantage. In their duel meet match earlier this year, Ramos dominated on his feet, but Lee pinned him as soon as he got on top. 3) He uses an excellent standing Granby roll twice to get escapes into immediate counter-attacks. 4) He is constantly pushing into Lee, then changing direction to throw him off balance. Even in the cases where this didn't score him points, it is obviously effective, often sending Lee onto his butt or into a desperate scramble. I would have loved to watch Lee make history tomorrow night. He's such an exciting wrestler to watch, and such a darn nice guy, that you can't help but cheer for him. I wish he had gotten the happy ending he seemed destined for. But on the other hand, this feels like the first chapter in a story just as exciting.

As a Hawkeye through and through I'm gutted to see Lee's run come to an end! But all credit to Ramos what a win man now go get the chip 🏆 👏

What a weapon on his feet. He knew to stay off bottom to start the 3rd. Take that chance with a neutral start. Smarts and confidence there. A great career for Lee.

I’m not gonna lie this was the best semifinal ncaa match I ever seen

3:10 "this guy stinks" sounding like it came right outta SpongeBob lmao

My name is Rob Rohn from Lehigh. I won a NCAA championship in wrestling. Some consider it the greatest upset win in NCAA wrestling history. I will tell you right now, this one beats mine. I am shocked

Ramos is lethal. I’ve not seen someone so capable of feet to back takedowns in a long time

That was perfect escape and then straight onto the attack! Spencer Lee great great wrestler! But all the praise to Ramos! Great match altogether.

Good win, hard fought battle. He earned that win and he’s going to earn this NCAA championship. Edit: congrats to Pat Glory well deserved.

You are a superstar Ramos! Congratulations on the win.

That move to catch Lee was amazing. I watched it over and over.

Wow! I love Lee. But that was a fantastic match and a prime example of what makes wrestling great!

Amazing. Put him on his back twice, and the way he got that escape and came back aggressive and went for it was amazing. Seemed to catch Lee off guard.

Purdue was on both sides of a historic upset tonight

I can’t stop watching this. Simply incredible. College wrestling at its very finest.

Wow what a match. Just incredible determination by both wrestlers. 👏 congratulations Matt.

Who else kinda saw this coming but didn’t wanna believe it would happen

Great upset. Great match. That whole finishing sequence from the escape to the pin was just amazing. Well done kiddo. Indiana stand up!!!
