Flo 150 lb bracket

[Wrestleknownothing 1,452]

I only caught part of this on FRL this morning and could not tell if they only had 5 of the 8 slots filled or if I only heard 5 of the 8, but the 5 I heard sound pretty dang good (to be Pyle-esque).

1. Bajrang Punia
2. Jordan Oliver
3. James Green
4. Bryce Meredith
5. Anthony Ashnault

Anyone know the other three?

Also, the purse grows to $60k+

Bajrang is getting $15k just to show.

Bajrang is not getting paid $15k to show. Only difference in the agreements is a travel stipend that represents the difference between a US flight to Austin and a flight from India.

Holy cow! A flight from India to Austin costs $15,000?!!! That’s insane!

[mbowlsby 11]

Ha, not quite. The stipend is for $750. 

[jchapman 1,320]

Green can make 150?

[IronChef 1,074]

When was the last time Green or Ashnault was this low? 2019 NCAA finals for Ashnault I think. Has Green been below 70kg since the 2016 trials?

Ok Flo - nice work, nice work.  Keeping my subscription going!

You're really going to make me deep dive The Wrestling Room aren't you?  Pretty compelling screenshot of his contract that says otherwise there.

Not sure what to tell you. Every other athlete has seen Bajrang's signed agreement to confirm that it matches theirs (outside of the $750 stipend).

its almost as if something can be on the internet and not true at the same time.

Please do, I’m banned from there, on four different accounts, and I just don’t want to put forth the effort tbh. I’ll shoot you $5, or donate $10 to charity of your choice, for a pic of the contract.

Ashnault probably walks around within 2-3 lbs of 150

Quit making sense, Spey.  You do that far too often.

Ugh.  You pick the charity.  I'll dig it up if I remember later.  It doesn't matter much to be, to be frank.  Just thought it was funny.

[GoNotQuietly 1,168]

If James Green at 150lbs is similar to James Green at 70kg, then the top three of this weight is really interesting with him, JO, and Bajrang!

Does anyone think any of the other guys can mess with those three? Seems to be a big separation from my perspective.

It’s ok, I made another account and I’m in! I can’t find it though :/ if you do, let me know. Either way I’ll add another $10 to my monthly donation to AFSP.

Would Green try to make 65 for the Oly Trials? Honestly, he has no chance at 74. If so this could be a test weight cut of sorts. He makes 150 to see how he feels there and then makes up his mind.

Green is probably our 4th best 74kg guy.  3rd best if you were to rank all eligible athletes today (IMart is on the mend).  I'd not say he has 'no chance' then.

I wouldn't pick him to place 3rd, however going off results he is our #3 right now.  He is 462-0 against Nolf, isn't he?  That said, I would pick Nolf, Massa, and Cenzo over him right now at 74kg on top of the aforementions Imart, Dake, and JB.

In 2016 at 65kg Zain beat him 9-2, but outscored him 9-0 outside the first 25 seconds.

The 2019 NCAA champ at 149, who has not wrestled below 154 since then, is walking around within one hard workout of his NCAA weight from 18 months ago? Why hasn't he wrestled 65kg at all?

Wasn't he injured at BTS against Green shortly after his NCAA championship and didn't he say afterwards that his focus would be getting healthy for a 65kg run?

Whataya mean one hard workout? Hydrated 152 would be one hard workout from 141....

According to Lou he walked around a skipped meal away from weight.
