I am suprised with Ashmore beating Parks. Richard what did you think of the match?
Ashmore and Parks have gone back and forth in the past (wrestled several times during their high school careers) with Ashmore being more of a control wrestler and Parks relying on explosive quickness much like Shawn Bunch. Parks scored a takedown with ten seconds left in the match to send it to overtime. Parks second injury timeout gave choice in the overtime period to Ashmore who gained the escape to secure the victory.
Also, Obensen Blanc....is he the real deal? I think he will be an explosive 125lber. We have needed that for a while at that weight.
Blanc is a former NCAA Division I All-American from Lock Haven, which is located in talent rich Pennsylvania. Blanc placed sixth in the 2007 NCAA Tournament and took last year off to train for the Olympics. Blanc has shown the ability to be very good on his feet.
