*****OFFICIAL PITT DUAL THREAD******
- Thread starter The-Dude-Abides
- Start date
We didn’t even think he would be back at the beginning of the season.
I'm giving my outstanding wrestler award tonight to be split between Block and Mo. Great effort by both. Now if Peterson and Bailey would only get with the program, haven't they heard Iowa is touted as the relentless non-stop score points score points team?
Gabe better be in great shape, because he hasn’t faced the kind of constant pressure Kennedy puts on.
Spooner- wanna take this one.
I think EM earned the award outright. He beat the #4 kid tonight.
You don’t think they face each other in the room? Like regularly?
Frame wise yes but he looks thick.
This is worthy of a new thread. Then we can all respond on how PK looks great.
Well, he put in most of the work during the match. Surely should have bought him some grace later on, and he wasn't close to running IMO (even if he was, that's smart at that time). Besides 1 stall call was meaningless to him at that point.
I think the last sequence that scored, was Mo's only legit offense of the match. Not that he didn't hang in there and fight, he did, but he was outshot by a wide margin on legit attempts. Stout was clearly the more active guy throughout. But try as he might, Stout couldn't increase his lead, and it wasn't a big enough lead for one bad thing to happen, and Mo made it happen fortunately.
I'm always confused on the stalling calls. I thought it was more about holding center and engaging. I thought Mo definitely did that, especially in the last minute.
The real reason I'm confused is because there is zero consistency on how it's called. Lol
Fair. I just think when a guy puts in a great deal of work early and often in a match, he gets the benefit of the doubt later in the match. Stout did that without a doubt.
Mo's great defense got him out of a very tight spot on a really nice shot when Stout had his ankle, again. That sequence ended up costing Stout the match, cause that baby was over if he converts there.
Stout outwrestled Mo IMO, but he didn't win so it doesn't matter.
Big Mo stole one by hanging tough, and I'm damn happy for him.I dunno if Mo can keep doing THIS, but man what a story and he has firmly established that he belongs.
Angel Rivera did a great job tonight. The match was well reffed.Angel……….
Drilling with some live goes is different than a full live match with a lot on the line. I'm not convinced Brands would replace Kennedy this year for losing one match to Gabe. May get Gabe more matches in second semester, which would be good for both guys.
Agree, one of his better showings in a long time. Not much controversy tonight.
Mo was engaging but not attacking the first 2 periods. If he would’ve been dinged for stalling I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. Stout was not engaging and was evading action at the end and should’ve been hit with stalling. But oh well it didn’t matter.
We didn’t? Those of us that can count did, I guess.
? It’s fine. I doubt he beats PK and that’s ok. Quality depth plus 2 more seasons for him to make his mark.
But but but the one guy said Ferris 31 Flavors something something.
Most aggressive I've seen Gabe. Good for him.
Unlike Peterson & Bailey, who had unranked opponents with mediocre records, Kueter's opponent was ranked #12. And Kueter was wrestling only his second match of the year. But your points are valid.
He just got back from being dinged up my guess is that had something to do with that. Have you watched him before or was that your 1st time?
Stout scored on a weird sequence that can be fixed, imo. Early on Mo was stepping in and faking shots. That left him wide open for a real reshot. He finally stopped stepping in while faking shots and had better results.
Definitely he tried spinning backside when the pressure wasn't there to do so. My guess is he knew immediately what happened. He forced that
This is the first time I have ever watched Ben Keuter wrestle. Obviously.
Welcome to the greatest sport on earth
I’ve come to appreciate the consistent dog in PK, but Block really impressed. I think you have something there.
I’ve always liked block and thought he had some potential. His length I think will give some guys problems at his weight. Think the cut to 141 was too much last year and coming off a serious knee injury, good to see him wrestling the way he is. Good opportunity for him coming a week from tomorrow against a top 5 guy.
As for Kennedy he finds a way to get it done, ran somewhat of a gauntlet at national duals and picked up 4 good wins there, was nice to see him get over the hump against karchala.
Be nice but i don’t think he would qualify, wrestled until the end of January last year.
Probably not his last competition was in late January but the way they've been giving out medicals lately anything is possible
Guess they are both bots..............
Crazy how Facundo came out the same year as PK but still has 2 years left after this year.
I’m not a bot. I’m a Nigerian prince in a tight spot. Please send $500 dolllars and my family will repay you in gold and rubies.
