Shapiro

[BuckyBadger]

The Cardenas match for third will be interesting.

Against everyone else he has looked superior. He goes out against a guy like Andonian, totally unfazed by his dangerous and unconventional style. He seems comfortable in those dangerous positions and actually comes out on top in most of them, which I haven’t seen anyone else do against Andonian.

Both times he wrestled Cardenas he hasn’t seemed as aggressive and loose in his style. It’s hard to say if that’s because he hit his head or if he just struggles with a real physical type like Cardenas.

I’m looking forward to that 3rd place match to see how he performs.

With 7.5 bonus points, Shapiro has as much as Brooks.

Shapiro wrestled 2 more matches than Brooks did, though. I'm glad he's doing OK. I feel like he's in good hands with the Cornell staff, with the precautions and care Yianni must be getting after the Pan Ams wrestle-off. Head injuries are no joke

he wrestled two extra matches but they were worth half as much!

all kidding aside, these two guys are going to go at it for two more years and you love to see it.

In fairness to Shapiro, you can't score bonus in a loss

I wouldn't be surprised if they never meet again.  Shapiro has the frame to wrestle up a weight or two, once he fills out.

especially because he's on record that he doesn't like to cut. whether he would go 149 or 157 was an open question in the preseason.
