100

100% failure of usa wrestling. There should be no rules about not time to step on weight and usa wrestling should be able to change whatever needs to be changed to get jden qualified. At this point boycott the whole trials it's all a sham

an absolute joke. russia would not allow this. usa hurting itself. let's just say dake misses weight too and cancel the whole damn event

the most egregious aspect of this is that spencer lee literally doesn't even need to practice folkstyle to win the ncaa championships. Like, whose taking someone besides spencer if he does the kyle snyder route and does all freestyle with folk on the side ? Spencer is basically practicing to beat people he doesn't need to train for and you only have a certain lifecycle in wrestling. Literally doing harm to his career.

really sad what happened to lee. In high school he was in every freestyle - international type of tournament he could get his hands on. Was working with brandon slay constantly on freestyle. Was as pro - freestyle a kid as you will ever see. Gets to iowa and hasn't touched a foreigner since. Instead he's grinding his body into injuries to beat lesser talented college guys nobody cares about.

whens the book coming out ? Put it behind a paywall and I'd probably pay to read it

tougher bracket - 74kg usa or 74kg russian nats ? This guy that just took sidakov to the edge is like what their version of Imar ?

does he have the offense ? I'll take Lee's partar and offense over suriano

Lee Yianni Burroughs Taylor Cox Paris

i felt the georgian was the better wrestler that match. bright future

very impressed with this georgian ...anyone have his accolades/background

for all the hype of this match it's hard to live up to it without a best 2 out of 3 - with the money involved and hype i think best 2 out of 3 would of been better. Good match but fell a little short of expectations imo considering the lack of action

i agree jb did struggle scoring and I just wonder how much size and reach had an impact on that, because it looked like geduev in the olympics where he could get nothing going. you never see that out of jordan - ever - and dt isn't known particularly for his stout defense as much as his offense. Me thinks like geduev , size and strength played an impact in this one. Taylor also had major problems scoring when he first went up agianst bigger oponents - it was bizarre. But mentally you could tell taylor was hanging on as if if something in the back of his head was reminding him of his shortfalls in the past. I think burroughs wins if he was a few years acclimated into the weight

taylor tried to lose that match burroughs still has the mental edge. Size was everything. Remember how much taylor struggled when he first went up. JB comes out of this match looking much better than taylor.

I think cbs still had to pay march madness rights this past year even though it wasn't shown, no idea if flo is still paying broadcast rights for college season. But would have extra money if not for sure.
