Iowa fans are convinced Lee pins RBY. For a real challenge Lee should take on Starocci. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few neanderthals on HR that might think that but to state that (all/most) Iowa fans are convinced of a Lee pin is a mischaracterization of the fan base. Hawk fans have a lot of respect for RBY's skill. We would simply like to see a little less dancing and a little more scoring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dancing" or not Desanto and Fix didn't score a single offensive point in a combined 6 or 7 matches against RBY, right?

Ok, but why is the criticism of RBY who is the only one scoring offensive points, and not of Fix or Desanto for zero scoring offensive points? Couldn't you say the exact same thing of Fix and Desanto -- when they "go", it's breathtaking to witness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you say the exact same thing of Fix and Desanto -- when they "go", it's breathtaking to witness? The difference is that I believe RBY is simply better, and by a decent margin so my expectation is that he should be scoring more than he is/has, even against my guy DeSanto. DeSanto is a bruiser, I love watching him wrestle but I wouldn't say it is "breathtaking" int the same way as watching RBY wrestle. Fix is also a shuffler/dancer but with a boring ride that involves grabbing the opponent's junk. I don't expect Fix to score many points against RBY nor do I criticize him for failing to do so because I think RBY is simply better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Iowa fans I've encountered believe the ADS is better than RBY and RBY only wins because he employs illegal stalling dance moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feet2back Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) no way Iowa has to worry about Lee getting picked off at 133 and RBY...No doubt Iowa has a better chance of winning with Lee at 133 but it won't happen because they want NO part of Spencer possibly losing...There are HS kids that would beat Penn State at 125lbs why would Iowa wrestle Lee at 125lbs if he is Truly The GOAT or does Iowa protect Lee Edited January 26, 2023 by feet2back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWW Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 RBY doesn’t beat any top 10 wrestlers by much. He clearly stalls and then when his opponents get frustrated he counter wrestled. I think if Fix would just stall like RBY he’d have beaten him numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWW Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 On 1/18/2023 at 7:01 AM, Interviewed_at_Weehawken said: Well, those guys either graduated or cleared out. Suriano 133 the next year, and then back down to 125 with no Lee. Keep in mind that for the Bresser loss, Lee was still working through his first ACL and wasn't even wearing an Iowa singlet. RBY has certainly improved, and is an all-timer, although against better competition his primary strategy seems to be avoiding wrestling and then picking his spot.
