He looks good at 97 kg but needs time to transition to Int'l freestyle
I don't have a still picture, but from the Flo videos I saw yesterday, I'd say Ty doesn't look dramatically different. He was never a heavy heavyweight. He just looks a bit leaner to me. This may be a very good weight for him. He could have been a National Champion in college if there was a 220 division.
BTW, here's a Flo analysis of his loss yesterday:
We start with what might not even be an upset depending on how you look at it. Though he doesn't have a ton of international experience, Kallen Kleinschmidt does have three years of year long freestyle training since graduating North Dakota State in 2014. Ty Walz, meanwhile, has just finished his collegiate career in March and had to cut down to 97kg in a short period of time. Kleinschmidt also has a huge advantage over Walz in total number of letters in their names.
Walz though, is a three time NCAA All-American, whereas Kleinschmidt never qualified for the NCAAs during his time as an undergrad. Many folks also had high hopes for Walz in his senior freestyle debut. Kleinschmidt had other ideas and never looked back after jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first period.
