Why isn't Flo fanboying Meyer Shapiro to an embarassing extent?

[Hammerlock3]

This is a real prospect, and Flo is oddly unwilling to spam repetiive cotent about how he's the 2nd coming. Its almost as if they have decided to make real content with insights into the sport as opposed to just trying to cash in on cheap hype.

Thought they shifted off of pushing true frosh hard a few years back?  Like... and oath sort if thing or something.

It has come on FRL and they have talked about it there.  It just isn't in an article ir an 'official' sort of manner.

Probably because the world champ at 74kg might very well be in the same weight class, 157, and I know who I’d take in that match.

Who would you take if Meyer were wearing a PSU singlet?

The guy who teched every opponent he faced at a heavier weight.

Seriously. If Messenbrink can make 157 and not lose a step, not only is winning 74kg that much more impressive but it makes him that much more likely to win 157.

That said, I’d prefer he take an OLY RS.

I’m just giving you a hard time. Mesenbrink has a lot of promise. His freestyle accolades have been very impressive. 

[Husker_Du]

CP has been pretty effusive in his praise of Shapiro.

he did a solo vid of the topic. quite a headline.

Yeah.  That was a stupid take by Le Duke.  Hardcore bias there.

You understand that Shapiro and Messenbrink are the current 70kg and 74kg U20 world champions, right?

You said World Champion not U20 World Champion.  There is a clear and distinct difference there.  You don't think there is?

Imagine the hellfire LeDuke would bring down upon someone who suggested that Rakhim Magamadov was the world champ at 86 kg!

Yes, I do.  For instance,   I don't think that David Taylor would be able to beat Stevan Micic at 57 kg.

We’re talking about Meyer Shapiro and Mitchell Messenbrink.

Do people discussing them NOT know that they are U20 world champions? Like versus like.

Also, given that I said “teched his way through”, it was pretty clear I wasn’t talking about Sidakov. Who had several close, non-technical superiority wins.

Apparently for several people it was quite preposterous and unclear.

I understand your case.  It is still wrong.  You can't have your apples, choose the pie, then when everyone cuts up their apples of choice go and say "OH BTW ONLY RED DELICIOUS CAN BE USED FOR THIS APPLE PIE RECIPE."  You have to include that sort of information, lest you be shat on - which happened... you were shat on.

Interesting to note.  When Messenbrink defeated Levi Haines, LeDuke insisted it was luck.  Haines was tired from the tournament and Messenbrink's skills wouldn't translate to folkstyle.  In fact, he only won because he scored in freestyle positions.  A claim was made that Messenbrink would never perform as well or better than Haines throughout their college careers.  This was a claim that even TBar wouldn't agree to.

Now that he is a Nit, he's the next four-timer.

Pardon me for believing that there is a difference in the coaching abilities of Casey Cunningham and the Cal Baptist staff.

Are you blind? See bolded text. Please note that that was posted ~10 hours ago, and I don't have the ability to time travel at this juncture.
