Ii coupd be wrong but it looks like only 125 was updated.Glazier at #13, thought he'd be much higher, actually.
HWT shows Ben Kueter, so I don't know. If and when it gets updated, hopefully it gets posted. Majoring the reigning Big Ten champion is quite a big deal.Ii coupd be wrong but it looks like only 125 was updated.
It's updated, they do all weights simultaneously.HWT shows Ben Kueter, so I don't know. If and when it gets updated, hopefully it gets posted. Majoring the reigning Big Ten champion is quite a big deal.
So, will it be #1 Ayala vs #2 Ramos this Friday?
InterMat has him #2...with the way 125 has been I think 2 is a bit high but we know how good he can be and he's a guy Drake will probably face 2-3x this year.Flo has Ramos ranked 8th.
With you on that. Definitely like how he responded after giving up TD. Strong finish - I think he knows he can beat anyone at the weight class on a given day. But to your point, 125 is like the NFL this year.#1 is not a good place to be at 125 this year. Just sayin’
Should be.So, will it be #1 Ayala vs #2 Ramos this Friday?
Agreed. Trying to rank 125 is a crap shoot. Drake just needs to continue on the path he’s on and he should finish high on the podium in March.InterMat has him #2...with the way 125 has been I think 2 is a bit high but we know how good he can be and he's a guy Drake will probably face 2-3x this year.
Let's get a feel for him now!
It'll forever be too soon.Revenge match vs Ramos. I wonder if Lee urges Drake to Avenge me!!!!
Ramos didnt beat him, his knee/health did.Revenge match vs Ramos. I wonder if Lee urges Drake to Avenge me!!!!
Excuses are for wusses. Ramos did beat him. Even Spencer gave Ramos credit. The version of Ramos that day was better than the version of Spencer that wrestled that day. Ramos did not wrestle the legend of Spencer that day, just the Spencer who was, all of his history (good and bad, injury or healthy) included.Ramos didnt beat him, his knee/health did.
Spencer would say otherwiseRamos didnt beat him, his knee/health did.
I think this is a preview to the Semi's or finals come the national tournament.To not give Ramos credit for the win and to view him as the biggest threat in the weight outside of Fix/Vito sucking down is foolish IMO. Ramos is powerful and has plenty of tricks. I would put my $ on Ramos today at 125. Ayala has really progressed though and Ramos on paper has regressed, this will be Drakes biggest test all season.
I'm hoping both coaches let them have at it!So, will it be #1 Ayala vs #2 Ramos this Friday?
Good for Drake, many of us thought he was a champion in waiting a few years ago, then the injury and such happened.I'm hoping both coaches let them have at it!
Ramos is not in Spencer's league. It's really sad that Spence has had the medical issues.
Ramos with a healthy Spencer is a ragdoll room guy to Lee.
Fact.
Agreed, Ramos has the funk and strength, his skill level though and head to head match comparison shows he's not in Spencer's league.I don't know, Ramos put a scare into him right in the middle of the season last year when Spencer was wrecking everyone and looked as healthy as we'd ever seen him. He still pinned Ramos afterwards but Ramos showed he had some tools and wasn't intimidated. Whatever Spencer had wrong with him down the stretch wasn't evident during the Purdue dual and he almost got pinned there too. Spencer was kind of like Mike Tyson in that a lot of guys were probably beat before the whistle blew and then smashed in seconds, while other guys like Ramos and Rivera didn't have those same reservations.

Spencer needs to game plan better for him and realize he's a unique challenge.

I think Drake has proven he's a contender. A win against Ramos makes him the favorite!Drake gets better and more confident with every win. The Ramos match will be a great test. A win tonight proves DA is absolutely a title contender.
What in the world would make you think that?I'm curious if Spence will have a difficult time cheering for Drake.
Amen my friend!Good for Drake, many of us thought he was a champion in waiting a few years ago, then the injury and such happened.
He's looking very much improved, hungry, and the part now.
Get em Drake!!
My brother sat behind the Lee family at the SS Saturday night. Said it seemed to him like they were there just to watch and cheer on Drake. Before the match started Larry was yelling something at Drake hyping him up and Drake looked up and acknowledged him. From that interaction it seems like the Lee’s are 1 of Drakes biggest fans. My brother said it was a pretty cool interaction to witnessI'm curious if Spence will have a difficult time cheering for Drake.
Well said!I think Drake has proven he's a contender. A win against Ramos makes him the favorite!
