Is anyone else more than slightly annoyed that DePrez is the #3 seed and Cardenas the #2 Seed? How?

If Zahid had joined team Mexico, they could have qualified 97 KG as well.

He extended himseld too far. He went upper body against someone who he should not have. Then it was the quicksand from there.

Coward.

Sure you were. Your anti-American rhetoric is embarrassing.

So I wasn't wrong?

Puerto Rico is legitimately part of the US, dipshit. They legitimately have congress representation.

Damn. It is so hard to not feel for Richards there. Stoked for Gomez and Cruz... but Lee and Richards not winning hurts my heart.

To do what? Also lose? Because that was all he did, too.

Also, I know it is Folkstyle and they aren't the same thing... but for shits and giggles I went and seen how Wrestlestat compares Gomez and McNeil... and they're saying it is very much a match, which I believe. Respect what Gomez has done, but he has exerted a shit tonne of energy to get that win, whereas McNeil has been on the mat like 65 seconds total.

He beats everyone not named David Taylor for those who don't claim Myles Amine (I do).

Valencia beating Torreblanca is a far bigger upset. Guy has won six golds at the Pan Ams since 2015 and a silver. Here is his results against USA on the Senior MFS circuit... - 2023 Pan Am Games - WIN over Mark Hall via DEC 3-1 - 2023 Pan Am Champs - WIN over Mark Hall via TECH 14-4 - 2020 Pan Am OGQ - LOSS to David Taylor via DEC 8-0 - 2020 Pan Am Champs - WIN over Alex Dieringer via DEC 2-1 - 2019 Worlds - LOSS to Myles Amine via DEC 3-2 - 2019 Pan Am Games - WIN over Patrick Downey III via DEC 7-2 - 2018 Worlds - LOSS to David Taylor via DEC 8-0 - 2018 Pan Am Champs - LOSS to David Taylor via DEC 3-2 - 2018 Yariguin - Loss to David Taylor via DEC 4-4 - 2017 Pan Am CHamps - WON over Gabe Dean via DEC 6-4 For Valencia to beat him is a great feather in his cap.

Johnny D also got handled by Gomez when last they wrestled. He can STFU.

So Anthony Valencia beat Torreblanca. The same Torreblanca that was like 15-0 against Blue Dragons Jr.

@Husker_Du, @BobDole, either of you care to join?

It wasn't me. I let my bias fanboyism control my destiny, even if I know I am not going to win.

I would rather not Zoom for the specificity of keeping it exclusive to these forums, @VakAttack. Also, I am old and technology sucks.

Dom Bradley is on his descent with his 800+

I agree that it should be irrelevant. I also think that it isn't overlooked in the eyes of human rankings.

I mean... 'beating' Focus obviously didn't help him in the rankings.

A former national champ that hasn't won a title in years, or in other worlds a non-qualifier since 2021(?).

It "doesn't" count, but you and I both know that coaches will count that L as much as they count ASC losses. They do but they "don't" you know?

Unfortunately, there isn't much movement for him that can be made at B1Gs either. He loses to anybody but Glazier and he will drop. Unless someone else (in other conferences) takes a fluke loss or three as well at conferences.

Method of win as well as the opponents defeated are factored in to rankings as much as losses, gents. At the end of the day the highest ranked guy he has beaten is Allred, who has actually had an identical record as last year thus far, but has been beaten on in his losses (four of five were bonus losses, included a Tech loss to Cardenas). I know for the sake of argument he has one loss, but every human that does the rankings knows that he also physically lost to Focus as well. The ranking makes sense.

I mean... you can go frame by frame on the video of it and see it is in the entirely wrong spot on his knee.
