Didn’t Gabe beat #6 Alred this year and lost close OT match to Fishback? Brock M is ranked #7? So why would Gabe be considered a big underdog/ not tossup here?

Beau M is ranked #11 and Kennedy is #3 and this would be considered a pretty big upset/surprising result if Beau won. That’s nothing comparable to how much you are downplaying Gabe. Don’t let Gabe’s no ranking fool yourself, he’s got elite defense and if he wasn’t behind Angelo he would def be ranked in the top 10 at 184 rn.

He's not a "big underdog". He could win, but he's definitely an underdog. I don't give a flying F about rankings, and I'm sure Gabe would be ranked if he were the starter. I'm basing that on watching those guys actually wrestle. Gabe has elite defense and is really good at losing 4-1 SV1 matches to elite wrestlers at this weight. That's what I expect again. If it were 174, I'd give Gabe a better chance. He looked like a midget against Fishback.

Fair enough, just don’t be too shocked if Gabe wins.
