wrestleFan12 10 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 Good stuff. Gross is such a savvy wrestler. RBY looked good, too, and almost pulled it out at the end. BTW, this may be RBY's best shot at winning a title, simply because the competition will be so stiff going forward. The redshirts come back next year: Fix, Micic, Suriano, and possibly Vito*. And then there's Rivera and DeSanto. Add in RBY, and there's 7 legit title contenders at 133. Nuts. Whomever wins the title next year will have earned it. * With Tucker graduating, and with Greg D. coming in at 125, I think Vito bumps up to 133.

TBar1977 3,839 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 From a pure tactical point of view, that is my personal favorite match of the year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russelscout 1,573 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 With my understanding of the rules, I don't get how that first shot by RBY is not a takedown. He has both legs covered and Gross is on his butt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suriano isn’t coming back, and fix may be 125, it would definitely be OSU best line up and he wrestles 57 kg pretty much year round now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn - that is an insane list of potential guys at 133 next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has both legs covered and Gross is on his butt. His body was out to the side of his legs. While he did have them wrapped, the way you see it called is with your body covering the legs, not perpendicular. Black and white of the rules aside, that and the one PSU reviewed should be takedowns. These matches, especially high level matches, that get won by the guy spending the whole match bailing out makes me wanna go all @LJB on folkstyle rules.

As such, it is being said that Nick won't be returning and may be going right into MMA. Mind you, these are still rumors at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about sitting on an ankle and not improving your position? Also, did you miss the part where Gross spladled RBY? That might have had something to due with winning the match.

Another example of I guess according to the black and white rule it was called the right way, but I don’t like that that is the right call. I also agree the spladel situation was clear points for Gross and the advantage he got out of the scenario was right. Not saying the wrong guy won. I‘m saying the guy that won did a lot of bailing out. 1 jchapman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lurker 1,397 Report post Posted February 18, 2020 I understand that. It just gets into that big long discussion that’s been ad nasuem on here about rule sets and what different rule sets lend to. Honestly I was just trying to throw a little crack at LJB. 1 jchapman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
