I was more impressed with Edgar.. Looked 20 lbs smaller and looked more technically sound. He maintained his balance better than Maynard, ate some shots and seems to have a good chin.. As Maynard ages, he will either wilt due to the obvious weight draining, or he will have to move up in weight (where he really belongs).. Edgar is natural at that weight and able to neutralize Maynard for the most part.
Great card, Rogan interviewing the DEA guys was hillariously ironic. And Edgar wrestled at 141 as late as 2005, so he is pretty small for a LW and Edgar is pretty big for one. That was a good fight; I was surprised but Maynard is underrated in my eyes. I don't know who Alexander was kidding, but he was out, and it somehow felt great to see Karo stopped. Alot of people who seemed to be building momentum seemed to lose it tonight. Oh, and while Florian looked good, his GnP is hillarious.
I think it's kind of funny that Karo wouldn't take the Fitch fight because he wanted to protect his title shot, and then got sparked by Alves.
Why? It seemed to work well enough. What else was he supposed to do? That's all Lauzon was giving him, so...
Yeah, took a vicious knee to the gut from Alves, then dropped like a sack. Alves hit him with a couple very glancing blows, and the ref stopped it. The punches didn't really land, so it was probably stopped a bit early. But I don't think he was going to get his wind back in time anyway.
What does opposite each other mean? A rivalry? What's meant by contact? Did you wrestle each other or scrimmage/practice together?
I was just expressing the fact that we were not captains of the same team. No, our schools certainly were not rivals, but we were both part of the Ohio Duals. Different divisions. I had known him for a couple years since he moved in from Vegas. We happened to attend the same Wrestling Camp when he first moved in. We were about the same size at the time and partnered together. I never wrestled him in an actual match, as we just never met up at the same tournament in the same weight class, or the same division. We would drill together and warm up every so often before matches though, when we were at States.
I can't really give out that sort of information. I made the mistake of doing that in the past. The number of State Champs from my city is very few... to give an answer as to what I placed or whether I won would easily lead anyone on here directly to my doorstep. I have kids and there are a lot of lunatics on the net... especially ESB.
You're actually a former female all-state gymnast from Tennessee.....:yep I can tell you this..... I would have probably started for St. Ed's my senior year since I soundly beat a dude who soundly beat the Ed's kid at the MIT tourney.....:hey
I could be. I think it would be funnier if I was a 350 pound bull dike from Seattle, though. Yes, St. Edwards is an amazing wrestling team. I would have started for them too. I beat their starter in my weight class by Maj. Dec. at an open tournament. I also wrestled the West Virginia state champ at a dual meet, the match was built up to be huge.... and I won by tech fall 10 seconds into the second period. The kid was awful.... cradle bait. His division at States must have been disgusting to watch.
No, you really are an ex female gymnast from Tennessee Alan Fried was IMHO the best St. Ed kid I ever saw..... Just because you were a lot better than someone does not make them awful......No state champ is awful...Ohio has a lot more competition (population or something about being on the wrong side of the Ohio River :yep ) than WV...... I can't say I beat a WV state champ like that, the best I did was a WV runner up...I won 15-5 if my memory serves me correctly..... anyhow it sounds like you were a very competitive wrestler, and judging by your posts (the ones I have read) you're also a pretty darn good debater (let me add the caveat that being a good debater doesn't mean that one is right, just that they are more persuasive in appearing right)
