His intentions are 97kg next year. Accept it. Accept that people have opinions and you can't make them all go away by being pissy. 2 Plasmodium and nhs67 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t Bo tech PD3 the last time they wrestled? It wasn’t too long ago, I think prob around the time Downey was trying to grad transfer to Iowa. 2 Ultimatepip and hammerlockthree reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nickal, who must be much bigger, wrestled downey at the same weight and teched him. In this stretch of time Nickal went from a guy who looks vulnerable occasionally at the right weight to a guy who is liquifying everyone up a weight.

While the bit on Nickal is spot on, not acknowledging that Downey may well be the most improved US national Team member(top 3 at the weights right?) regardless of style since they last met up doesn't give our 2019 86kg guy enough credit. I personally believe Nickal washes him like a dirty coffee cup that's been soaking in dawn dish soap and hot water for the last hour. And not regular dawn or even the ultra. Platinum dawn dish soap. That being said, at this point with what Downey did to Heflin the last few months? I wouldn't be surprised if it was a helluva match. Like Ajax and cold water-no soak.

And the same one that couldn't even score a point on Cox in 2 matches? I think that Bo would probably beat Downey now, but it's obvious that beating the best in college and beating the best at the senior level are apples and oranges.

dwkeller 9 Report post Posted June 22 Cox and Bo have many things in common, other than their body shape. Both intend to win and will do anything to make this happen. That is why I love both wrestlers. They demand of themselves perfection. Bo finished folkstyle a few months ago: let's see where he is at in a year. Cox is amazing now. Both are highly ranked. A win win for fans of wrestling! 1 herma48852 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the same Bo that had Cox worried enough to not even attempt a single offensive move the entirety of both matches Going as far as also attempting to double qualify for the 100 meter dash at the end of their 1st match. Yes. We are referring to the same Bo and the same Cox. Edited June 22 by nhs67 Changed match to matches to be more appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cox looked really, really worried....Bo is 3-4 years away from being truly competitive with Cox. I don't think he'll ever beat him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're confusing Cox taking the most certain path to victory with Cox being worried. Cox enters those matches knowing Bo cannot generate his own offense against Cox. So Cox wisely doesn't give him anything to work with and takes his inevitable wins. That's not worry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tec87 324 Report post Posted June 23 I believe PD2’s reason on the boards for the poor bout with Nickal was that Nickal had been resting and PD3 had just beaten Gabe Dean like 15-20 mins before that match. im not saying Nickal still wouldn’t win, just that this was the excuse their camp gave for the loss.
