#27	Anonymous Coward December 3 at 9:07pm Brands definitely looked a little sluggish in that match, but what great determination to come back. Does suck for Fisher that he was stuck behind Smith and Brands for all those years.
#26	Anonymous Coward July 22 at 7:16pm Fisher vs. Metcalf for best all time in Flint MI area. There are a lot of great wrestlers to come out that area....
#25	Brands Fan July 22 at 5:41pm what is wrong with him (tuff cut)? he looked sluggish not like his normal self!!
#24	GVSUwrestling July 22 at 2:37pm fisher was an incredible wrestler. just a shame he got stuck behind such other good talent always.
#23	Craig Vitagliano July 20 at 11:04pm the commish said: “Tom, why did you wear your shoes with the tongues hanging out? A. Because you knew your opponents tongues would be B. Becauseyou wanted people to know you from Terry C. You were making a statement of style” D. So he could kick out of his shoe in a tight situation.
#22	The Commish July 20 at 7:38pm Tom, why did you wear your shoes with the tongues hanging out? A. Because you knew your opponents tongues would be B. Becauseyou wanted people to know you from Terry C. You were making a statement of style
#21	Arm-spin July 18 at 1:23pm Dunno about the semifinals but here's the 2000 finals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs_puogHrMA
#20	TJ X July 18 at 12:22pm loper said: “yes, there has to be somewhere to find the Brands vs Dabir match!!” Yes, there is! I bet if you show up at Dabir's house in his hometown and sift through his entertainment center, you are sure to find that prized VHS tape with the match.
#19	Loper July 17 at 10:35pm yes, there has to be somewhere to find the Brands vs Dabir match!!
#18	Arm-spin July 17 at 10:21pm Looks like Brands needed a while to get into it, he looked half asleep for the first couple minutes. Oh, and x2 on the Dabir requests:)
#17	Rkbradl July 17 at 4:46pm The announcer kept me on the edge of my seat.
#16	Loper July 17 at 3:17pm lets see dabir vs brands from 2000!??
#15	Anonymous Coward July 17 at 2:53pm tom brands is a champion...he never gives upp...
#14	Alex Broadwater July 17 at 2:39pm That match was sick. One of my favorites so far.
#13	Anonymous Coward July 17 at 11:44am "Screwy Louie" Lazzari said: “John Fisher (Michigan '89) (4-4-3-4) http://www.mgoblue.com/wrestling/article.aspx?id=65070” great article
#12	Anonymous Coward July 17 at 11:19am Amazing. He never gave up after going down 4 right off the bat. Great match
#11	Anonymous Coward July 17 at 10:58am Craig, Can you post tedeev vs. dabir from 2002 worlds?
#10	Doglist July 17 at 10:46am Fisher was probably in the toughest weight class at 136.5. If I'm correct, he was second to John Smith and then second to Tom Brands Both of course were world and olympic champs. Fisher probably could have taken a silver if he would have wrestled for canada.
#9	Ron Fisher July 17 at 9:30am Hi VDC, You left your toys at my house last nite. See you later!
#8	Craig Vitagliano July 17 at 9:25am I guess it was for what they would call an "appreciation point" which is if a move is executed properly and puts the opponent in a danger postion (almost exposure) the officials may give one even if it results in no points. Another example of an appreciation point is an arm throw when the opponent might flip to avoid exposure, the official may still give one to the wrestler initiating the hold.
#7	Twilly July 17 at 8:04am vdc said: “Craig, Why the point at the 6:12 mark on the video. Looked like a clean scramble. If they were calling Fisher for exposure wouldn't Brands have been awarded 2 or 3? Explain.” Yeah, I don't get how Brands got one there? If it were an exposure wouldn't it have been 2?
#6	"Screwy Louie" Lazzari July 17 at 7:19am Mike James said: “has fisher ever placed in ncaas/olympics/worlds? ” John Fisher (Michigan '89) (4-4-3-4) http://www.mgoblue.com/wrestling/article.aspx?id=65070
#5	Pulled Pork July 17 at 6:39am Great match thanks Craig.
#4	TJ X July 17 at 5:55am Thanks Guru for posting another exciting match which really shows us how important great conditoning and mental toughness was for Tom Brands throughout his entire career. What a textbook single leg along with the crisp setup by Brands on the winning takedown in the final few seconds of the match to win it, that was slick!
#3	Mike James July 17 at 12:16am has fisher ever placed in ncaas/olympics/worlds? the first half of the match it looked like fisher was the better wrestler, brands seemed to just come out on top with his insane pace and conditioning
#2	Vdc July 16 at 11:53pm Craig, Why the point at the 6:12 mark on the video. Looked like a clean scramble. If they were calling Fisher for exposure wouldn't Brands have been awarded 2 or 3? Explain.
#1	Craig Vitagliano July 16 at 11:20pm The Guru apologies for this being so late. So I hope it's worth it. This is the first bout at the 1995 World Team Trials between Tom Brands and John Fisher. Fisher came through the mini tournament with a nice victory over Cary Kolat. Well here we see Fisher come out with both guns blasting and picks up a quick 4-0 lead over Brands. It's just amazing to watch Brands come back in matches where he's behind. The guy just never gives up. Relentless pressure to break Fisher. There were some real good sequences and flurries in this bout. Hope you enjoy!
