wrestlingphish 701 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) 3 minutes ago, lost said: But Lugo never scored Fun fact, that is not a requirement for your opponent to be called for stalling! Interesting, I know! In fact, you can score 12 points in the first period and then be called for stalling. It's a really wild sport.

Mphillips 895 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 Just now, VakAttack said: Yes. Yet he took all 4 of the committed attacks and was the only one ever close to scoring offensive points. That's not how it works...C'mon Vak...You know this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Poopy butthole 67 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 Oddly enough, despite the loss, I feel better about Lugo being a potential high all-american after that bout. Going in I felt really iffy about him being ranked #1. Still think he is a long shot for the finals, but I hold Sasso in really high regard and that was a really close bout.

Sasso was really impressive in the scrambles what with fighting off all of Lugo's attacks. I think what gets me jivved up at least is that, going in, I expected Lugo to be very defensive and look to counter attack, so I was pleasantly surprised to see him initiate all the shots and ultimately frustrated to not see any reward for it.

goheels1812 612 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 If I were an Iowa fan I’d actually be encouraged by that match. Lugo was close to scoring multiple times.

Sasso never really threatened Lugo. Yup. I saw Lugo as an underdog in that match and all the Iowa fans I've spoken to felt the same (given Lugo's loss to Sasso at Midland's last year). I don't like the loss but if you consider Sasso as a title threat, like I do, I think you need to keep Lugo in the conversation. 1 goheels1812 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treep2000 973 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 This was a "feeling out" win for Sasso, and a giant confidence booster. Mark my words, his offense will open up bigly very soon. 1 madcat11 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingnerd 2,773 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 Definitely one of the ugliest wins in recent memory but beating a 1 ranked Hawkeye in a packed Carver is an impressive feat for a freshman. Kudos to Sasso for staying focused and forcing the ride out. Lugo wrestled about as well as you can in a loss. I’d like to see a rematch. 1 Erminio8 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Poopy butthole 67 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 Just now, Perry said: Lugo is overrated He, Murin and Warner are probably floating a little too high in the rankings based off of early season wins. That being said, I think Murin and Lugo are wrestling better this year than last and I expect better finishes at the end of the year for them. Just curious, where do you think they belong?

goheels1812 612 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 The matchup I’m curious to see at 149 is Lugo and Brayton Lee. This is just pure gut feeling on my part, but I think Lugo gets Sasso if/when they meet again. But I think Brayton Lee wrestles similarly to Lugo and I see that as a 50/50 match.
