spladle08 721 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 If Nickal wins this at all.... 2-1, pin 30 seconds in, last second takedown.... I DO NOT CARE HOW.... I am going to start the "Bo Should go up and challenge Snyderman" thread.... If he loses by 5+ Im going to wish him well in MMA, and roll my eyes if anyone makes a "I really enjoyed the Bo Nickal era'... or whatever they say... thread.

Hasn't Bo already stated he is going up to 97? I predict Bo wins today easily. 1 nhs67 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I didnt see this, I'm dumb, my bad.... in that case I wont make the thread. And this Russian is no joke, he's had some good Senior level results. If Bo wins big, it'll have to be one of those, repetitve turn situatons I think (Like a leg lace, or some funk induced magic) But Im thinking it'll be a barn burner. I'll go 7-5 for one of them, no idea who. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 3,757 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 I have not seen Bo state 97 as fact, but he tweets and instagrams stuff like drinking beer and eating steaks and ice cream so it makes sense. 1 spladle08 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spladle08 721 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 3-0 BO at the break.... Pushout Single to a TD.... lets see what the second half has to offer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 3,757 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Love the way Bo comes into that lefty hi c from the side and keeps rotation to prevent the opponent from a crotch lock or chest wrap. Edited October 30, 2019 by TBar1977 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBar1977 3,757 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) 12-2 Bo Nickal is Champ. RUS in state of shock. Bo beat a real good guy there. Lot of talent on that mat. But Bo was too athletic and too good on his strategy and technique. Edited October 30, 2019 by TBar1977 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Genius 215 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Nickal is a stud! Back in 2013 cadets, Nickal missed out on Bronze whilst the Russian won Gold. 6 years later Nickal techs the guy. Very impressive development. 2 spladle08 and Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmm53 467 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Wow. What a run for Nickal. Flo has the Russian he just tech-ed ranked at 6th in the world at 92 KG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterc 42 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Also, I've not seen the match but am wondering if he helped him up at all. 1 pamela reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ_wrestling 105 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 I’ve said it after the Jden match and got criticized endlessly. Bo could have medaled this year at 86 had he gone down. Honestly believe he’s top 3-5 in the world at 86 or 92. 3 Housebuye, TBar1977 and misterc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmm53 467 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Nickal's tournament apparently included dominant wins over a Junior World Champion, the defending U 23 World Champion, and the 2018 Russian Senior National Champion. Not too shabby. Does Nickal now go up or go down in weight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pamela 1,334 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Does MMA figure into Bo’s decision to go up or down a weight for FS? I don’t know the weights or weigh-in rules for MMA but maybe he has a target weight class there too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
