Really... did you fell out of a cocoanut tree or sumthin'? D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Mr. PeanutButter Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I didn't think Brooks looked that bad, really. Got beat on one exchange and that vicious bow seemed to have taken a bit out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle26 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Did you all skipped the Higuchi match? He looked amazing too. I think Spencer can do it too, but I’m not expecting it to be easy. I think it’s going to come down to how many turns he can get. I predict Higuchi gets more takedowns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyhoyle Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 6 minutes ago, bnwtwg said: What, that David Taylor can't beat the person who took him out over the course of multiple matches? You see it in NCAA where a guy who is worse beats somebody in a wrestle off and then underperforms against other competition. It seems like that’s what happened here. Brooks didn’t look great in any of his matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denger Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Lee looks fantastic. Higuchi also looks fantastic, and he's been here before. It's gonna be a great Final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truzzcat Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 AB won the spot and deserved to be the guy I think we need to stop saying DT would have won because we do not know that. I wanted DT to be the rep but if anything this should show he was not on the same level he was a year prior I still think Brooks was our best rep before knowing draws and everything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like that’s what happened here. Brooks didn’t look great in any of his matches. I saw David Taylor lose to Cox 4 times in two tries a year apart. I saw Brooks beat Taylor handily two matches in a row. It happens, even to the reigning world champions and it's why they wrestle the matches. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks looks more on the level of Jake Herbert/Andy Hrovat battling for medals than Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. The Taylor that Brooks beat was not the Oly/World Champ Taylor. The Oly champ Taylor beats the Bulgarian. But the Taylor that wrestled at OTT? Not so sure.

Takuto_Otoguro Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Can't say Taylor would have 100% won, but he is as close to a lock as there is. Especially after watching the weight. I have seen better versions of Yaz lose to Taylor. Yes, Taylor would have won this weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alliseeisgold Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I think brooks is getting judged too harshly .....he didn't look bad...it's just his style ...one in which is not likely to win close matches like NCAA against foreigners. Even dake loses close matches to foreigners. It's all stylistic. Taylor 100 percent would of dominated this Belarus guy. ...and brooks would fare better vs yazdani then the Belarus will. Just like brooks did vs Taylor Brooks would of given yazdani a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
