Cody going for some big hits. Connects a bit. Nickal says ok, let’s wrestle. Attempts TD. Does eventually get it. Gets back control and eventually gets a leg in. Cody keeping chin down. Round ends with Bo in control. Landed a few elbows. Round 2 - this is a fight. Kicks. Bo decides enough, let’s get to ground. Works underhook to knee pick I believe. In control. Cody turns up towards him. Bo in full Mount. trying to set up arm triangle. Can’t get it. Working elbows lightly. No real damage being done. Starts to punch, Cody bellies down. Bo has back, body triangle, …. Eventually gets a choke. Done.

Since I know Dana reads these boards …. I bought the PPV. Wouldn’t have without Bo being on it. Good job Dana. BTW that 2x Olympic Gold Judoka, Kayla Harrison, is a beast. She is going to wreck the field.

Chuckle. Your opinion is reasonable from your perspective. I get it. I simply pointed out an inconsistency in your post. I’d also suggest that many many of the folks that subscribe to Flo or otherwise see their content aren’t following the sport as closely as you may think. I have friends in this boat.

Did you read his post? If so, reread it. He disagreed with much of what Pyles said. And yet you say he isn’t disagreeing with anything.

Stood out as a no sh*t Sherlock video?? That would mean that the video contained thoughts that are obviously true. And yet it seems that you are disagreeing with most of the statements in the video. You are not making any sense at all!!! Are you usually this confusing? (Huh, ragging on people for giving their opinion turns out to be pretty easy!)

I don’t think so. Vito had a lot to say in the matter. He expressly wanted to wrestle the college season and did NOT want to take an Olympic red shirt. He wanted to graduate college. If took red shirt would have to leave college for the year. Vito had a ton of agency in the decision making and how this all unfolded.

Do you honestly believe what you posted here? Honest Q. Seem like many doubt Sad’s stated age. I’m curious if you do as well.

INJURIES SUCK!!!!! Not surprised about this news. Had real injury issues. Weight pull would be tough. Sounds like the weight pull is aggravating the injury. Guy is amazing. Hoping his healing period does wonders for him.

Does he do freestyle much?

Perhaps to older folks. But I’d say time has moved on. If there is a face for US wrestling now I’d say JB or Taylor. If Dake is an option in this poll, Taylor should be. My vote - JB. Has reached the pinnacle more. And has duration going for him as well. I get the Smith votes though.

Page 2. Anyway … seemed like a good interview. Ryan didn’t tear Pyles a new one. Ryan made incorrect statements. But he made it clear that he was reacting based on his perception. Pyles made fair and good points. I appreciate Ryan acknowledging some of them (Ohio State wrestling benefits from good funding). Also appreciate that Ryan is stressing that ‘win at all costs’ is not their approach. He feels there is a right way to act in life and in coaching. Very interesting that he talks to team about transfers they are considering. Sounds like he has a big focus on being forthright with people and his team. Wants to be able to look people right in the eye and know that he himself is fully above board. Seems like a great role model. Pyles made fair points. The original poster here and some others are so wrapped up in their bias against Pyles that they project negativity where it is unwarranted. So be it.

I’m picturing a situation where the wrestler pinned everyone he/she faced in the first period (including freestyle)…. Except for one opponent that simply had the recipe to beat him / her about 5 to 4 each time they wrestled and let’s say prevented two or three out of four NCAA championships. Yes - I can see GOAT talk. But they need to be super dominant.

Just watched the Forest vs Tomasello final … wrecking ball is right. Wow. That was a butt kicking. Started with a sweet counter shot that was a fireman’s! Executed so well. Then another TD off a slide by I think. Tomasello seemed to not have any idea of the risk he was in on that last 4. Forest knew it and launched him. Really impressed

No!!! Damn it!! Told my wife we can go do something at 4:30 …. Freaking people with the curveball. Oh well.

Piles just said finals 4pm

I’m seeing all consi after this match.

U20 world bronze. I just had to look him up. https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/high-school/wrestling/2023/08/17/camden-mcdanel-bronze-medal-u20-world-freestyle-wrestling-championships/70609506007/

They need some time tappers for these refs. Many have no clue when time gets to 0.

It’s about many. Warner as well.

I’m always a bit surprised when some continue as active wrestlers when all signs suggest you have reached your peak and are now on the descent …. And your peak wasn’t all that close to the top.

Is there a set start time for finals (looking for Eastern time)?

Bo is on fire. Constant motion. Constant threat. So damn impressive. Snyder won senior worlds at 19 correct? Can any of these young wonder kids do the same?

For the love of …. Let this die. The artificial drama falls flat constantly. Great wrestler, shit actor / suspense builder. Time to move on.

Down to one ticket. Harder to sell one, so I’ll take less.

Hi - I have two extra tickets, section 226. Anyone want them for what I paid for them? $213 each. All sessions.
