ionel Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 For the betting folks in Iowa and beyond, which is more likely: A) Gable & Ferrari face off in the 24 hwt final or B) Trump beats all charges and is elected 47? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump for sure. I think there's a greater than 50% chance Gable wrestles at NCAA's. Ferrari I'd probably put around 10%. And even if he does I wouldn't pick him to beat Kerk or Hendrickson right now.

If Ferrari listened to a good coach then yes absolutely. Dude's just a big boring oak tree and I genuinely feel that an all-in Ferrari would have beaten him. Won't happen, but if it did that's where my money would have been. And if Ferrari comes back he won't be all-in OR anywhere near where he could have grown to. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrickson>Focus yesterday today and tomorrow. Styles make matchups and Hendrickson is a really, REALLY bad matchup for anyone.

bnwtwg Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 1 minute ago, ionel said: So what is it about Hendrickson's style that can slow down Focus' speed and strength? Nearly identical speed which I would give a very slight edge to Focus, identical functional strength, identical gas tank (which when extrapolated to heavyweight is likely to be better for Hendrickson), identical defensive technique, and significantly better offensive technique in one move + chain wrestling + counter-offense-to-offense wrestling by Hendrickson. You can't back up against Hendrickson because he is as long as Focus so the edge game advantage goes out the window; he has a motor that has only been one REALLY stupid brain fart match from going 100mph all the time; he has better chops taking third in a tougher weight class than a freshman, albeit outstanding true freshman, won. And if you want to go to a FS comparison he would likely break Focus' ribs. And the crowd would roar. Alas none of this matters because either 1) Focus never wrestles again, or 2) even if he does return, he has been out of the game for too long at the highest level where he rightfully earned his place. To pivot - we all know GS would win, but I would like to see a motivated Steveson vs Hendrickson match and I think the results would open eyes for a few sequences. 1 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ferrari could keep it close due to his neutral skills, but I’d take Hendrickson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
