expectation glad good motivation nerves opponent tougher train winning year
I think it may be tougher this year because there are more nerves from the expectation of winning it. I have more motivation to train harder. I never take anything for granted. I like Vitaly. He's a good kid. I'm glad to see him make it here. He'll be a good opponent to have in the finals.

I didn't wrestle too badly on my feet. I just couldn't get out. When he grabbed my wrist, I knew I was in trouble. Rudy did a nice job and these types of matches will help me. A loss last year helped me. I'll bounce back.

I was more focused for this year's match with Reber. That was the difference.
