TBar1977 4,602 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 I guess I didn't see all those leg attack posts in recent days. Could also be that I follow Flo on various social media platforms and rarely do they post anything about fix that isn't he's the greatest. This isn't a knock to anyone but it happens repeatedly. I can almost guarentee if Gable goes down (not likely) there will be a few posts questioning his abilities at the next level....when right now the common theme is he is the untouchable. After today's showing I question Gable's abilities at the next level. J/k. I just wanted to make your guarentee (sic) come true. Ha ha. 1 JBluegill133 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nom 1,209 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 Ignoring new information / data isn’t rationale. If a wrestler loses when you strongly expected him to win, it should adjust your perspective. Unless you are a blind fanboy. Which is ok. Junior performance should be a wake up for seniors. Take nothing for granted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 Gable just got DECKED hard. I wonder if his losses in Sr.'s gave up some intel on how to beat him. That Uzbek seemed pretty confident even after giving up the initial td. I dont know but Gable trashed him 2 years ago in the World Finals 9-0. Maybe a little overconfident. He gave up takedowns in every match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Housebuye 2,449 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 Gable is fine. This will motivate him. Anyone can get caught. He is still my pick to win NCAAs. Also he is likely to get eliminated in the semis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,449 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 Sometimes people catch up to you.I don’t think that’s what happened. I think he got caught in the clinch and pinned. It happens, especially at heavyweight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think that’s what happened. I think he got caught in the clinch and pinned. It happens, especially at heavyweight. All of that can be true, but I sensed his opponents were using a totally different strategy with him this year. They were not trying to out athlete or out technique him, they were trying to out physical him it seemed to me. He too will adjust, and he may never lose a college match. Then again, he might. That is why they have to wrestle to see what happens. Got to step up each and every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very few win it then, he won while still a cadet, so he will be back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTimeFan 1,141 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 I love Gable and was one of the earliest people on these boards touting him, going WAY back to when he made his first Cadet team. I still love him and think he is one of the most exciting prospects we've ever had. That said, today's match was a disaster. The inside trip was poorly executed, dangerous and by no means necessary. Gable paid dearly for it and hopefully will never make that genre of mistake again. Perhaps he got over confident. Perhaps his opponents were wrestling smarter against him and that shook him a bit. Whatever the case, this is an easy one to fix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTimeFan 1,141 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 I just caught Lewis' semifinal match where he techs the Mongolian 12-1. He looks fantastic and he wasn't on my radar, not even a little bit. Now he's in the Jr World final. Nice upside surprise in a tournament with a few big disappointments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTimeFan 1,141 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 The Russian beats the Uzbek who beat Gable. What a bad match for Uzbek, he was ahead 6-1 and then gave up 6 stupid points to lose 7-6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
