Anyone hear something crazy recently?
pokemonster replied to Hammerlock3's topic in College Wrestling
Nowadays, it only seems like people care when this kind of stuff happens to the common man. It doesn't prevent you from being a politician, movie star, athlete, president, etc anymore. People go "oh my gosh, that's weird" and then move on as if nothing happened. Now, if you're working a 9-5, expect to be fired and divorced. -
I would like to settle the p4p discussion for 2025 and 2026
pokemonster replied to Truzzcat's topic in College Wrestling
CP posted a youtube video where these phenoms aren't quite like the phenoms of the past... i.e. Jax, Bo, Blaze have all been getting legit senior freestyle training for years, so they're already there. Idk if I'd expect them to jump many levels from their college careers like other guys in the past have made... They're also all 19 years old regardless of their varying grades. I might bet on PJ Duke being the top contender... He's the youngest of this bunch at 18 and I feel like he's just gonna keep getting better. Ladarion Lockett is probably my favorite, but I have a feeling his style is gonna result in a few more losses i.e. less likely to be the top P4P guy. -

Could be bs... but some dude deep in the comments on Minnow's "not good" post said he knows the officers involved and it's true, him and about 10-15 others were busted in a sting last night and it'll come out in the records in 24 hrs or so. hoping that it's a case of mistaken identity, but Robert Kraft did similar stuff and got off scot-free... -

Are there any legit sources or just the same stuff on Twitter circling around? -

Tons of people talking about something with Kyle Snyder but almost everyone is saying it's not true and a case of mistaken identities. Not sure what the other Kyle Snyder did though. Then you get guys like this: -
Bo admits he didn’t cut 37 lbs - fake news
pokemonster replied to Caveira's topic in College Wrestling
I thought it was obvious that it was a troll job and not intended to be taken seriously, but confirming it on the SHAK MMA video is weird. Now I see why people believed it. Makes him look like an even bigger idiot now that he looked tiny compared to de Ridder and got spanked like a lil infant baby -
What's this mean
-
He's fluent in English, little accent. That wouldn't be why he's not doing as much media. And Bo is a douche. Him and Cassar both. Cassar "they'll come crawling back" stfu please, nobody likes your little ragtag PSU wannabee MMA fight club and you're all hyping eachother up like you the best thing since sliced bread. And why tf is he not wanting to fight? Get your ass in the octogon, the last thing you need is more time away from the cage when you fold anytime you're hit. His comments on his podcast were absurd. Like somebody above said, nobody wants to suck Bo's d more than himself, Cassar the PED champ a close second. And lastly, PortaJohns point about being better then Gaethje and Chandler on their feet... C'mon man.
-
Is this accurate?
-
I'd argue if Bo spent less time trying to become a striker and more time becoming what Askren was in MMA, grappling and bullying people / hammer fisting tf out of everyone, he'd do better. You keep referring to Askren in the UFC when he was a shell of his former self and obviously out of shape. You keep dismissing his Lawler win.... Tell me how often your arms go limp while you're consciously and actively defending yourself. Quite the defensive move by a veteran like Lawler. This is why people are focusing on the Askren part of your comments.

Should Bo Nickal retire from MMA?
pokemonster replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
Ben's loss to Masvidal was a fluke knee to the face and he was undoubtedly out of shape while in the UFC. He gave it a go for the hell of it and cash money. Hell, he's in better shape now running the academy than he was then. -
Do you know if Bo does much training with MMA guys or is he just training with his yes man crew in state college? All the clips I've seen are him training with Cassar and Carter Starocci and such, which sure they're great athletes, but they're not experienced MMA fighters... I know he's got some MMA coaches there, but if I recall, his striking coach is also an up and comer trying to get into MMA.
-
I did my best to create a thread in the MMA forum and it failed.... sigh...
-
Whoops, I guess he was 185 and 205.
-
No doubt liver shots are devastating... it was hard for me to tell if he was cringing from those shots or the soft face shots he was getting hit with, or both. If it was both, that has me a little worried about his comfortability with getting it.
-
That's what I noticed as well. His wrestling isn't gonna be effective if, once he gets them on the ground, they have the advantage with submissions and such and he has to let em go. And spot on with the body language.... I haven't seen somebody react to those soft clinch punches like that in the MMA.
-
From the eye test, Bo absolutely looks significantly smaller than his comp in MMA. They are known to do ridiculous weight cuts (take a look at Alex Pereira for example, somehow he made 170 and he looks massive for 185) which is probably part of it. With that being said, Bo has never looked very intimidating from a size or muscle point of view. He's always looked smaller and less ripped than his competition and it's never held him back (him vs Gabe Dean for example). Very unintimidating physically.
-
How does height factor in? Say a 6' 230 and 6'5 dude have the same exact proportions, muscle density, etc, is one more explosive than the other?
-
If they're both American, then you pick either Dem or republican. If there's no difference, move on to race. Then religion.
-
Mineo knows a good deal of Iowa fans aren't bo Nickal fans and he gets his rocks off by trying to make them look bad, even if it means backing up PSU. He's a goof.
-
So yeah, weird post by CP. The 2 or 3 years Dreshaun and Mocco give up to Mirasola is much more impressive than 7 or 13 lbs imo.
-
One thing I found pretty cringe during the open was his use of first names for specific wrestlers as if he's buddy buddy with them. Didn't feel like unbiased announcing. Anyone know how much dreshaun Ross weighs? I feel like he's one of the few wrestlers nowadays who isn't a 19 year old junior.
-
You're an idiot if you think Pico has an arrogant persona. Not even close.
-
He sure did
-
It was an obvious troll yet everyone is using it as an excuse for why he lost. If he cut 37 lbs, then what the hell did ridder cut? Cuz he was way bigger.
