I think it's worth noting Aman is always better at ranking series events because of the +2kg. He pulls crazy weight to make 57kg. Also, fun note he beat Luke in Lukes first cadet finals.
After watching Cardenas against this field a weight up and comparing that to what Yianni did to him at the open I am a bit more firm that I think PJ is a year or two away from beating Yianni.
Been talking about how I find it crazy he took 4th at trials do you know if its a tough pull for him? I am super high on Rocklin and burnett but they are not Anthony knox.
I think its worth noting cadets is 2, 2 minute periods which I think makes a huge difference I also think he looks like a pretty big kid even at 57kg so the cut may have sucked for him.
Does anyone know what u23 weights are even up for grabs? I believe 57-79 at least all have guys that won it through senior open or trials if they want it.
That's fair I guess I should say I think there are a lot of talented guys for their age but Ignacio just lost twice at cadet trials 4lbs lighter. Now he lost to rocklin zinkin who I think is a stud and grey burnett on criteria who won the weight and is also very very good. However watching him kinda kill this field after taking 4th at cadets gives me some pause.
Very true I think that weight is unbelievably weak but still he is cadet eligible and blitzed the field. Really wish Luke wrestled. Knox could bring us a medal but Luke was probably as close of a lock to get gold as you could have and its so hard to know where knox is at with the competition hes had.
He has not wrestled anyone that is a particularly big 74kg but he himself looks really small still which makes sense he said he was just going to wrestle his walk around weight.
