Frank C 5 Report post Posted May 20 (edited) I really like to see him win the spot. Been sticking with it. Close. Tough challenge but would be nice catch a break for his work. Edited May 20 by Frank C 1 Plasmodium reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,449 Report post Posted May 21 I wouldn’t be mad, but I’d be shocked. He just lost to Cenzo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spladle08 1,171 Report post Posted May 21 He's just not beating JB. But also I'm an Oklahoma guy so always cheering for him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nom 1,208 Report post Posted May 21 I’d be happy for him. But would like to see his toolkit expanded before making this prediction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhs67 2,099 Report post Posted May 21 Ringer is susceptible to being exposed once in a blue moon. Look what Martin did to him. He still proved to be right up there until hos ACL tear and would have been a factor at 86 KG OTT had he not done so. There won't be a stronger 79 KG in the field today and he will not let himself het in that same position with Joseph. He isn't IMar. I expect Ringer to comfortably win each match today. 1 bnwtwg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnklePicker 649 Report post Posted May 22 Great match vs Joseph. It seems Vincenzo is much smaller but man he's able to hang strength wise with Dieringer and that last TD was super clutch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le duke 452 Report post Posted May 22 Ringer works IMar over pretty well, has nothing at all for Starocci.I wonder how much longer IMar and Ringer will go.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,101 Report post Posted May 22 Imar is done. This kills me to say it, but it’s the truth. His trajectory had he taken that first match from JB? Oh boy……. But he didn’t. And major shoulder injuries are career killers, as evidenced yet again by “pushing” his rehab. Unfortunately on the Senior Circuit he is a 79 gatekeeper where he has no definition or conditioning to be the standard necessary. He’s in a tough place - continue building as a coach where he is excelling, or be selfish and cut back to 74. Ringer dropping twice was a bigger shock to me. He has everything going for him, except the biggest underdog of all time in the champ killer Cenzo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's always calm, never tired and pretty awesome. 1 Elevator reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,101 Report post Posted May 22 Cenzo has always been an underdog. 2x champ, 3x finalist, 2020 contender. Never the favorite, and with losses to say why. But gatdamn does he show up when it matters most. 2 wrestlingnerd and Le duke reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has everything going for him, except the biggest underdog of all time in the champ killer Cenzo. I feel like Dake exposed him and showed he's a bit of a plodder a few years ago. Cenzo's motion was Dake-like at times in their match, which made me remember that series. Ringer is really strong and has a solid core offense, but once you figure him out, he can't adapt. The more athletic guys like Cenzo will always give Ringer a hard time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Le duke 452 Report post Posted May 22 Yeah. He tried to muscle Starocci around and couldn’t do a damn thing. Didn’t touch a leg or come close to scoring. IMar, if he can get back in shape, is still a guy I’d like to watch (at 74kg).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to say it like this, but I think he had one really good day. I don't see him getting back to that level of commitment and training and peaking like that. The past few years can't have helped his mental game. I think Nolf would beat him soundly, not to speak of what Dake would do to him. Methinks he's done.

Huge life adjustments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
