"Josh Lambrecht vs Rob Rohn 2002 NCAA Div I Finals"

 

 

Josh Lambrecht of the University of Oklahoma was wrestling Rob Rohn of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania at 184 lbs.

Lambrecht was leading, fourteen to three, in the third period. There was one minute and sixteen seconds left to the match. The television announcer had just said that Lambrecht was on his way to winning the title. But then, Rohn flipped Lambrecht over with a move he had learned in high school, called the "cement mixer". Rohn got Lambrecht in a reverse headlock and applied pressure to his opponent by twisting him, so that Lambrecht's back was pressed near to the mat. This pressure prevented him from using his legs very much or bridging. With fifteen seconds left to the match and the crowd screaming, Rohn got a pin, proving it's always possible to come back from way behind in a match!
