Fox simply was just to big for him in that match. Guys like Bergman make a great case for an in between weight class. He went out like a champion in that match.

J.D. performed admirably and with a lot of heart. I wish the OT rules were such that they went until someone scored on their feet. Dustin had the edge in on the mat and it looked like J.D. attempted that last shot out of a sense of urgency. So be it. Great job.

I agree. Or apply the same stalling judgments to Heavies that are applied to lightweights. Having only seen Fox wrestle once before, I was surprised at the lack of any discernable offense from the No. 1 in the country while Bergman seemed to force the action, though he didn't seem to want to get underneath Fox and try to finish any shots. The weight difference was substantial but the rules are the rules.
Having said that, who can complain when Ohio gets a champ regardless of who wins? I also thought it was great how Fox seemed to blow off the blood problem. It never seemed like he asked for any of those blood times; usually just ordered by the ref to get cleaned up.
Oh, by the way, no relation. . .unless of course he wins gold this summer.

Thanks for the memories, J.D. Those throws & those inside trips were always exciting to watch (along with your pins) <thumbsup> <thumbsup>

I realize the allegiance to J.D. on the Ohio forums, but Fox is an native Ohioan and defeated Bergman three times this year. Certainly he deserved the title. I did not see any stalling in the three matches from Fox.
I would say that J.D. pushed the action on the feet, but Fox was never running and failure to attack the legs is not a failure to attack.
I was always impressed by Fox's supreme conditioning for someone of his size.
J.D. had an amazing and accomplished career, and his 197 style at 285 was great to watch.
Cpngrats to both.
