Desanto went to my hs and my coaches always talk about his absurd work ethic and skill level, he is so insane

[Capn_FTB]

At the time watching it live, it had to be the greatest high school match of all time.

Lee with one leg, against a kid with a crazy record out of a random school. No one gave him a shot. Me and my whole wrestling team watching this at home just blew up when he hit that last takedown.

UN-BELIEV-ABLE.

[NatsFan]

I was at this match the entire arena was electric…greatest match I’ve ever seen!

[eddiesyrek]

They are both awesome wrestlers that’s why Spencer went and got Austin to join him at Iowa. Shows what kind of person lee is in a sport where it’s all about your match and doing your part your the only one that can win or lose out on the Matt but lee wanted him there to make his team better

[solareclipse]

I think Lee is the Achilles of Wrestling. He's basically perfect but has one fatal flaw of losing his last, most important match.

Who else became a huge Desanto fan after this? I know someone will clap back and say that Spencer had only one knee. But you, me, and everyone else would take a kneeless Spencer over the entire 125 NCAA field. To win that last Natty with no ACLs is legendary. But what he’s doing this year is Gable Stevenson level domination. Straight bullying AAs like they’re lil boys and pinning top 5 guys left and right. It’s absolutely incredible.
There’s a reason Spencer told Austin to come to Iowa with him before jumping on the podium after this match. He knew Austin would push him to become better and tougher. And then they became the most electric 1-2 punch at 25 & 33, maybe of all time? Whose better? 🙏🏼🔥👏🏼👌🏼☝🏼🏅

To clear everything up Spencer Lee tore his ACL in late January, doctors and dad told him to just end his season but Spencer said no, made it all the way through and was determined to be an undefeated 4x state champ, his knee popped out in the semi finals and his dad told him to just forfeit in the finals, Spencer was like ‘I have to prove that I can wrestle like this and win”, Desanto wanted revenge so he cut more weight just so he could face Lee instead of going 132 and winning a state title easily

[scottborkowski]

so by most of the comments here a torn acl and a huge knee brace has no effect on your ability to move, get to shots, and scramble. Yeah right. Not gonna say that Desanto didnt come prepared but he did take on an opponent with a diminished capacity and that is a fact. Remember Lees freshman year in college, wrestled most of the year with that brace on and said screw it right before nats and off it came. He looked like a different wrestler with that brace off. Every time the brace went back on he looked off but when he was out of it boom.

I saw another video of this match and it looked like the matches on the other mats didn’t start till this was over. I went to school in Oklahoma and I don’t remember two guys this good facing each other in person in high school.

[johnwuest]

Not talked about enough that Desanto was a weight class lower all year and made the move up just for a rematch with Spencer Lee. The year prior Spencer tech falled desanto and when interviewed after Desanto said he would be back for his revenge.

[luccicosta]

Desanto wanted that match more then Lee!.. It’s that simple! Everyone was quick to say “If Spencer was 100% and not injured (Knee) than Desanto doesn’t win that match”… Honestly it wouldn’t of mattered bc Desanto broke Spencer Lees will to win!… He beat him bc he wanted it more than Spencer and it clearly shows in the match. Spencer Lee Pinned and TF every opponent he wrestled in the PA State tournament including Desanto in the Championship finals the year Prior to this Match. Spencer thought this was going to be a walk in the park but Desanto had a different approach and he was hungry to get revenge on Lee! He was mentally focused and believed in himself that he can beat Lee and he did just that! I believe Lee needed to be humbled and what better way to be humbled than in your last high school match in the state finals as your perfect record and chance at becoming a 4x pa state champ (Which has only been done twice) are shattered bc the guy across from you wanted it more!

[RagdollMMA]

damn bro lee lost his last hs and college match after going 3/3 at both levels

[Manglefit]

I was there on the floor of the giant center watching crazy how that’s been 6 years ago now

[FrankCerank]

Not a fan of Desantos and his ways but what is everyone watching here? Austin was clearly the better wrestler in this match. 3 of Lees points were given to him. Knee excuse is a little weak.. If it were that bad he wouldn't be wrestling in a Piaa state final.

[tobyrose]

Audio would of been good. Hear cheers etc

[jackbauer]

I don’t mean to be THAT guy but he beat a horse with a broken leg… yes impressive to beat lee but you can tell when he had mobility issues. I couldn’t imagine how easy this match would have been won if he had full mobility

[vincentmitchell]

Look I'm a Pennsylvania guy my son wrestled and I'm a fan of Austin's. But let's not act like spencer wasn't wrestling on one leg. And the fact that he tect him the year before.

[jackbauer]

Don’t mean to be that guy but I know baiting when I see it.

[lucaswade]

If Lee had 2 good knees it's an easy decision for him.

[markdavis]

Lol only because Lee was hurt. If he wasn't he would of destroyed desanto
