What weight for Gallick? I haven't seen Akins name....(weight?)

but here are some more updates:

In 60kg/132lbs Pool#4-

Bunch ends up 2nd in his pool after losing to Saeed Azarbaijani (Canada/Brock)by a score of 9-1...Azarbaijani won the pool by also defeating the same wrestler as Bunch did earlier, Petronilo Garcia (Navy SOPAC)by a tech fall in 1:52
_______________________________________

60kg/132lbs Pool#6

Roberson looking good as he beats both his opponents today:


Roberson won by tech. fall over Jeremy Mendoza (unattached), 12-1, 3:56

Roberson won by tech. fall over Gilbert Lee (Glendale)10-0, 0:51

______________________________________
Finally the elder statesman Melvin Douglas competing at 120 kg/264.5 lbs.Pool #1

won on a decision over Michael Irving (Team Williams) 6-0 should beat the next guy handly since Irving pinned the other man in roughly 50 seconds....Melvins' 2nd match should be coming up very soon

Douglas has won his 2nd pool match to win his pool by beating James Candotte (Rebels WC)by TechFall 12-2, 5:41...the rest of the tournament is taking the top guys from each pool only to face a winner from another pool...if that's the case also for HWT...Douglas has a surprise opponent waiting...Kellan Fluckinger defeated NCAA runner up Kevin Hoy and will probably face Douglas
______________________________________

Meanwhile outside of the pool pairings...pool winner Z. Roberson lost in the quarterfinals to Michael Lightner (Dave Schultz WC)3-2...Lightner won earlier matches to claim his pool by beating James Castaneda (unattached)5-0 and by tech. fall over Steve Neff (unattached)

ok...I know a lot of you are probably torn on the KSU/KU game...but Melvin Douglas pulled off a very close win against Kellan Fluckinger (sunkist kids) 4-0 in the Semis....Fluckinger beat NCAA runner up Kevin Hoy earlier in the tournament and will now go for 3rd...Fluckinger was placed 5th in the 2003 NCAA's...

Douglas will now face Steve Mocco of Iowa Hwt fame the 2002 runner up and 2003 National Champion of NCAA has pummeled everyone thus far by recording 2 tech falls and 2 falls in 4 matches...
