ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Senenov is really good. He destroyed everybody except Nabi. So maybe Coon's only the 3rd or 4th best in the world. Still pretty damn good for somebody who's been wrestling folkstyle for the last 13 years for the most part 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,224 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 I mean, this was expected. Different levels. Still blown away by Coon’s success 2 PSUMike and MikePorcelli reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Absolutely it was expected. Unlike the guy who beat Snyder in the junior worlds from Russia andhiis eame escapes me, Semenov has improved, doesn't have the worst gas tank in the world and gets after it. One of the better bad body wrestlers I've seen in a long time. How much can Coon close the gap in a year and a half concentrating only on Greco? Or does he concentrate on freestyle? Pretty much the biggest guy there as well and folk style, being closer to Freestyle, doesn't put him as far behind the eight-ball technically Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonBryant 1,721 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Coon's wheelhouse .... is also Semenov's. Semenov beat him to the better lock and exploited it. Coon's a homerun hitter and against a guy like Semenov, probably his best shot at getting the W. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Russian was very comfortable in countering Coons sag bodylock with his own, launching the Aerospace engineer into orbit ...twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silvermedal 207 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Great run by Coon. Greco needs a stud to rally the program. Let's hope this is the first of many medals for Adam. 2 Housebuye and TheOhioState reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

de4856 361 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Well, even though Adam lost, this is still a great accomplishment. Hopefully Adam can learn from this and get better. And as Silvermedal said, hopefully this is the first of many. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had three wins by fall, but they were mostly gutty performances with the homerun style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSUMike 445 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 Just watched all of Coon's matches. His run was no fluke. He uses his build to the best of his advantage. His body lock and lateral drop are going to be there a lot due to his length and long arms. Once he locks that up, his leverage and gorilla strength let him horse guys around. He's going to be able to do that to a lot of guys and get falls. Now, I just hope he adds to his arsenal and closes up some of his holes. For his 1st senior level appearance, you can't give him grade him less than an A. Really happy for him . 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having Riza, the Cuban, and the Russian on the opposite side was certainly a plus. But, we have no data points to indicate how Coon would do against them so that remains to be seen.

Hubbard 426 Report post Posted October 30, 2018 I would not put Taylor-Yazdani in the same breath as the other two match ups you mentioned. Plenty of people knew that Taylor would beat Yazdani the first time they wrestled. He ain't no Karelin…..and Burroughs came out of nowhere really to beat Tsargush. Everybody knows Taylor and what he can do. Yazdani has nothing on Taylor. Taylor exploits those underhooks and lack of cardio quite efficiently. Unless Sadulaev goes back down to 86.....right now I don't see Taylor losing the next 2 years. Unless Cox beats him for the 2020 spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
