ionel Posted January 2 Posted January 2 ... and they are not replaced with Spencer Lee? discuss ... 1 .
Boring Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I can imagine an entire squad of one trick ponies doing Lee's armbar, over and over and over again. I suppose that's an improvement over locking up and pushing. Naw, Iowa needs to hire somebody else. I hear John Smith is looking for a gig. 1 1

Maybe he was closer to beating Ramazanov than Lee was to besting Higuchi, but he'd still have to defeat Yazdani in the final. There is no guarantee Yazdani would get injured in this match.

Sounds like pure jealousy or anti Iowa hatred tbh. 1 1

He may have finished in 4th place if we didn’t have the stupid 2 third/bronze medals. You are just wrong. The record books show: Lee silver Kurugliev/brooks bronze The other fact I see here You wouldn’t bother to comment if it wasn’t psu/Iowa hatred related. Edited January 4 by Caveira

Pinnacle Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) They were just talking about this concept on the golf channel. Colin Morikawa said of match play golf that in the semi finals player A shoots a 7 under 65 to beat player B who went 6 under 66. In the other semifinal player C shoots level par 72 to beat player D who shot 73. Player B shoots another 66 in the 3rd place match to beat player D. Player C loses the final to player A while shooting another 72. Who played better, the 3rd placer, player B, or the second placer, player C. Edited January 4 by Pinnacle

Expand These people wrestled the same dudes on the same course on the same day in the same bracket? This isn’t golf and that didn’t happen here. Gold > silver > two damn bronzes or a tie for third on a golf leader board

Spencerlee Posted January 4 Posted January 4 It begs the question if people like Dake and Snyder should train elsewhere in the future. They've definitely regressed since joining NLWC. Heck, with all the wrestlers they bought for their club they still couldn't outplace HWCs top guy.
Caveira Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) You psu homers are delusional. Yazdani took what 6 major injury timeouts in that match? It’s all the announcers talk about. All 6 of his major points were one scoring sequence after one of these major injury timeouts after a passivity…. For being injured. Your golf analogy doesn’t apply to this. It doesn’t apply to people in the same wrestling bracket let alone two wrestlers at diff weights in diff brackets. the match https://youtu.be/iYe0VFhhoA0?si=SGvVJepxipFLOhFW Edited January 4 by Caveira

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand You are stating opinions as facts, and then just saying othes can't have opinions. Brooks can not have been closer to winning gold definitionally, since Lee made the final and Brooks did not. Brooks didn't even get to compete against Yazdani, and you're just presuming Brooks would have beaten him, whereas Spencer actually did beat everyone in his bracket except the gold medalist. Brooks didn't beat either guy that made the Finals. 1 You are a voice of reason. - @Paul158
