TBar1977 3,454 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Taylor and Dake have to be favored, and J'Den is favored too probably. Keeping fingers crossed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTimeFan 874 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Assuming Snyder makes the finals and Green doesn’t then that’s four finalists out of ten weight classes. How does that compare to past years? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CA_Wrestler 213 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 1 minute ago, Housebuye said: I think this is very unlikely. Seniority in the room at this level doesn't exist when it comes to competing at worlds. In Iowa especially, they seem to settle things on the mat. Keep in mind Lee took a break from competing since NCAAs. He could've gone to juniors and decided not to. I highly doubt Spencer didn't compete because of seniority. Could have happened, who knows. I'm sure they didn't want another Ramos situation. Especially since Gilman was the past silver medalist from 2017. If Spencer were to beat him, Gilman could have been disgruntled and he's obviously an asset in that room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Housebuye 1,910 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Looking at Ivan Yankousk's wins during this tournament, it suggest Jden may be the favorite tomorrow. Dake and Taylor are both favorites. I'm getting ahead of myself here, but we could win gold from 79-97KG. That assumes a lot, but still cool to think about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we all knew he had the ability to be a world champ, but there was something missing. He either figured it out or world semis is just that hard. Him being 1-2 in work semis isn't bad.

The Genius 200 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) if Yakhkeshi doesn't beat Colon I will be very upset, Hadi should get bronze too especially after he beat Akgul, Yaz vs Kurugliev is going to be saucy Karimi deserves a bronze just for beating Sharifov and the Russian decisively Edited October 21, 2018 by The Genius Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBar1977 3,454 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 My wife and I were hiking Cascade Canyon near Jackson Hole this summer and we ran into a young gal who was an Athletic Trainer at the University of Missouri. I asked her if she knew J'Den Cox and she said yes, that she knew him, but she was shocked some guy from Pennsylvania knew who he was. She didn't seem to understand just how good Cox is on the world level. She said he is the nicest athlete she ever worked with. 1 KCMO2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine he doesn't talk about his accomplishments unless somebody asks him about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
