Katie 1,076 Report post Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) If JB is moving to 79kg, doesn’t it make sense for him to train with Chamizo? I bet they could learn a lot from each other. And they will now be only a short train ride from one another (Philly to NYC). I think it could make a lot of sense. As they say, iron sharpens iron.

BigTimeFan 1,141 Report post Posted August 6, 2021 On the one hand it makes all the sense in the world yet at the same time he didn’t need any of that to become JB in the first place so who’s to say what’s going to make the difference. Separate question: why precisely does JB have to go 79kg. Is there really no selection process for 74kg? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,103 Report post Posted August 6, 2021 Chamizo is probably going to go 79 if he goes to Oslo. Or might really get into the NYC nightlife to ease the pain and give 86 a shot? 1 Grecojones reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olympic medalists get an auto-spot for 2021 worlds in a few months if they remain at the Olympic weight. So Gilman, Dake, Taylor, Snyder, and Gable are all automatically on the team if they choose to stay at the same weight. If they go a non-only weight then they are in either the semis or finals (I can’t remember which) Edited August 6, 2021 by bnwtwg My phone thinks “Snyder” is spelled wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Definitely an option, too. NLWC offers a lot. There is a bit of a difference in that the drive to State College is 3.5 hours, while the train to NYC is 1.25 hours -- a difference of 4.5 hours round trip. Anyway, JB has a few more options now.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Because Abdurakhmonov, Gomez, and Nolf don't offer much? Call it a hunch but I very highly doubt Chamizo is interested in a revival of faith that Carl's team is well known for. And JB doesn't need State College as much as State College needs JB.

State College appears to be doing just fine for itself at the moment lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestlingnerd 3,012 Report post Posted August 7, 2021 I think Chamizo has more to gain from wrestling JB than the other way around, and maybe JB is entertaining another Olympic run. JB is easier to scout than Chamizo, who has to be one of the hardest guys to prepare for. Some of the stuff he does regularly is ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do believe you are vastly over and underestimating the respective parties in this scenario. NLWC is the best room in the country right now, but they build a specific wrestler. If you think collar tie wrist —> ankle pick will set you free, that’s the place for you. Notice how gilman and snyder both picked the state college club up pretty nicely. More realistically speaking, it depends which weight JB wants to go. If he’s staying 74, he’s going to be out of luck, NLWC is for 86 and 97kg guys, NLWC has a terrible track record against dake at 74kg. If either of those dudes want to win anything again, they need to go full rocky III and move to dagestan for a few months. 1 denger reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoNotQuietly 1,175 Report post Posted August 7, 2021 Remember Jordan Oliver joined NYRTC so he would get Chamizo and JO as partners and input from Kendall Cross if he did some training there. Sure some of the NJRTC guys like Nate Jackson would be around now that they merged. Some real wrestling brilliance could come out of that.
