Stayed in character the entire time.

"Jacob wrestled the angel, and the angel was overcome."- Paul Hewson

Not in the joking mood?

You misspelled "burwikk"

The answer is: RBY.

Hater! You can't call out someone's lack of activity if they win a match! P.S. Didn't the hands to the face send it to OT?

No. I really think RBY is an all-time great, as I have said in previous posts. He also seems to be a pretty nice guy, who is generous to his young fans. I also liked when he credited DeSanto with making him better. I will root for him if he makes Team USA in freestyle, and I will root for him in MMA. I do not think he is better than Spencer Lee. I, and others, have noticed that he employs certain tactics in big matches and does not exactly have a high offensive output. Sometimes, he actually runs. In what universe is that hatred?

Maybe RBY is just better? It happens.

No. I think that video has DeSanto hugging RBY's leg on the ground for seven minutes.

Have you seen the RBY/Fix matches? Tactics.

He has admitted to this.

You are missing the point. Or maybe you are not. Are you saying RBY has gotten better at stalling/running away/negative wrestling vs. top opponents?

But I heard he was going to be better than Neal!

Quite a while back, some of my buddies lived with a greco national team member. Very low stipend, and I would be surprised if it has gone up much since.

Here is the point: the other poster tried to see that RBY was a far superior version of the SAME type of wrestler that beat Lee twice (Rivera). That is patently untrue, as shown by the 2020 result. SeaBass only spent one year at the same weight as RBY, and defeated RBY head to head. I also would have to question whether RBY would have been able to go up to 141 and beat Rivera. No one is trying to say Kemerer and Starocci have the same style or are similar types of wrestlers.

Well, those guys either graduated or cleared out. Suriano 133 the next year, and then back down to 125 with no Lee. Keep in mind that for the Bresser loss, Lee was still working through his first ACL and wasn't even wearing an Iowa singlet. RBY has certainly improved, and is an all-timer, although against better competition his primary strategy seems to be avoiding wrestling and then picking his spot. (No plural)

Lizak 2x?

Understood. But i am replying to a person whom brought up Ronny Bresser..., so I think it is probably fair game?

Yep. Gross not in Lee's class, but can defeat the unbeatable RBY. RBY was scared of bottom. A real mat wrestling machine!

Again, If there wasn't a ref, Lizak would still be on top of him...

I'll make it easy for you. 3x champ > 2x champ and guy who gave up 3:00 RT to Ethan Lizak and majored by John Erneste at NCAAs.

How is RBY a better version of SeaBass? Rivera beat RBY the last time they wrestled! lol And is a world medalist!
