Frayer beat world 5th place finisher Haislan Garcia, whom Metcalf is 1-2 against. Metcalf had that one great tournament where he knocked of Hasaynov, and I thought he'd made a step up, but results afterwards (1-1 at the Yarygin, loss in qualifier finals, close win against a 60 kg wrestler here and losses to Frayer) don't cement him as a medal favorite. Sure, there's a style matchup here. Metcalf takes a lot of bad shots, Frayer is great at countering shots. Still, the world's top freestylers are going to be just as effective at countering.

At the test event he was finishing from that position which is why he was dominating there. From a non american view point i could see metcalf getting a medal, i can't see the same for frayer, my money would be on him losing early, no offense thats just how i see it going.

JB who called you "idiot announcer"? I thought you did a very good job. Shane however seemed to give incorrect data on some wrestlers a few times but nothing that would make me call him an itty-yot. :)
