parchypyle Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Who wins tonight? Is McKee gonna wrestle? Alot of matches could go either way imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorwrestler Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 If McKee makes weight he’ll go. Could see this being an even 5-5 split. MN takes 125, 133, 149, 184, HWTNEB takes 141, 157, 165, 174, 197 Honestly, there isn’t a single match I feel 100% on. McKee has been known to lay eggs in duals, Nagao is unproven and Dryden has a weird style. Hardy favored but Bergeland former AA could upset. Blockhus always keeps matches too close. Lee beat Robb last year 4-0 but looked horrible lately. Sparks/Bubba is a wildcard. O’Reilly/Labs has always come down to the last seconds. NEB 184/197 super talented but young.

We’ll see how dual season shakes out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 125 - McKee dec Cronin (3-0) 133 - Nagao dec Dryden (6-0) 141 - Hardy dec Bergeland (6-3) 149 - Blockhus maj dec Morton (10-3) 157 - Robb dec Lee (10-6) 165 - Wilson dec Sparks (10-9) 174 - Labriola dec O'Reilly (12-10) 184 - Salazar dec Pinto (13-12) 197 - Allred dec Foy (15-13) HWT - Joles dec Davidson (16-15) Blockhus gets the major for Minnesota to win the dual. Toss-ups at 141, 149, 165, 184, 197, HWT. Should be a great, evenly matched dual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks very polished and huge for the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorwrestler Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 In what universe? You’re right, I shouldn’t say “always”. But it did last year at the dual, and then the next time they wrestled O’Reilly tore his ACL in the middle of what was a close match. They had a lot of fun exchanges last year. The match in 2018 and 2020 were not close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the score and not the tempo or pace of the match in which who is controlling where and how then sure. It was close. Labs was never in danger of losing. "I know actually nothing.

nhs67 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Lewis could win every match he wrestles the rest of the year 3-2 and the only matches that would actually be close would be Starocci, Foca, and Labs.

This one had three, one that tied it, and I think O’Reilly was in deep on at least one more shot in the first. Mekhi wrestles an entirely different style. Regardless, though, it won’t be close this year. O’Reilly doesn’t look like the same wrestler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatWhiteNorth Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It's getting fired up... McKee? Nah, probably not. Just makes the dual that much closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorwrestler Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It’s pretty incredible the difference you get in McKee in a dual vs in a tournament. Either that weight cut is absolutely huge or he’s just not great at managing it at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
