I see on the Scramble someone mentioned Daton Fix is going down to 125 for Big 12's. Has anyone heard if Fix has certified at 125? If this was the case, is Daton running from RBY or trying to stop Spencer from being a 4Xer? I feel like this does not help the team much leaving a weak spot at 133. Mastro may not even qualify at 133. Thoughts?
Fix to 125
- Thread starter Inspiteofourselves
- Start date
Seems like a really bad move for the team. Seems like a pretty tough cut for Fix who’s been at 133 his whole career. Maybe the cut is easier for him now that he’s off the sauce?
I would be extremely surprised, but I guess it’s possible if he is not taking dads juice mix anymore, He is large at 133. Mastro may be better at 133 he seems to be pulling a lot of weight, I dont see him in anywhere near the podium though.
this rumor has been around for 4 years. i highly doubt it's going to happen now, especially after he moved up from 57 kg in freestyle.
Oh boy do I hope so. I’ve waited years to finally bet all of those okie state fans. Here’s to hoping it happens and here’s to hoping they show back up to bet. Double boots won’t be enough.
would be a great final match to spencers college career.if fix doesn't lose to glory
I was joking a bit, but There is no denying what happened and that his father was involved.
That is assuming Lee gets the #1 seed and doesn't have to battle it out in a #2 #3 semi with Glory or Fix. Who knows. Figs is looking pretty tough in his own right, more matches and we all saw what happened at HWT last year with seeding. A shortened schedule for number of matches who knows how and where seeds will land. Personally I would love to see Glory, Lee, Figs, Fix all at 125. It would make a win mean more to beat a deep field. But who knows when it comes to rumor mills.
Figs probably won't be the starter and he hasn't beaten anybody this. Continually surprised at how much hype he's gotten.
We’ve heard this speculation how many years now? I highly doubt it happens but if indeed true, he would be better off dropping for the dual on 2/19 so he can reconsider prior to tourney time when he realizes his perceived advantage will be negated by the weight cut. I don’t think a sucked down Fix is all that close.
I am not saying Figs will win it. But saying he is a nobody and hasn't beaten anyone is a little off. Beating Cortney and Matt Ramos at Cliff Keen doesn't count? Guess Spencer beating Cortney in the NCAA finals doesn't mean anything. Lee is only a 2-time champ going for 3 because Courtney is a nobody. (Insert eyeroll)
Hard to believe.
Daddy better start making some more shakes then.

didn't say he was a nobody. he's a top 15 guy, but hasn't shown he's a finalist contender at all yet.
he also didn't beat courtney at kliff keen lol. he also got taken to SV by Michigan's back up at that tourney. as soon as Courtney came back, Figs scratched from Midlands. I'd bet on their starter for the postseason being Courtney. He's much more proven.
He would get his ASS kicked by Lee! There is a reason why some of the best are going up to 133. Vito for example, there was also some talk about Glory? If they want a title, I guess they could hope that Lee is far bellow 100% or they have to try their luck at 133.
I honestly hope this happens. Before last weekend I would be a little worried due to health, but after watching Spencer deck Drake in 90 seconds, I would love to see a sucked-down Fix try and take out a pissed-off and motivated March Spencer Lee.
If you think an undefeated three time national champ doesn’t get the number one seed, you’re crazy. Figs probably not even the starter on his own team. You’re starting to show your intelligence in this matter.
reminds me of the guys who thought hendrickson was going to break into the top 4 at heavyweight last year just because he was undefeated. didn't even make the r12.
1. Glory hasn't actually wrestled at 125, has he? Maybe the first few matches this year. He seems to be having trouble getting on the mat at any weight lately.
2. That's probably why Fix is going down. He heard Glory was going up and he's dodging him like everyone does.
3. I hope Lee gets more conditioning in before Fix, because he'll get tired of chasing him around the mat.
Yes, because 125lbs is incredibly small for an adult male and can't make that weight.
Yeah I had to see who I had on ignore and once again, my original step to ignore was reinforced. What a knucklehead.
Wouldn't it be fun to see Glory, Fix, Vito, and Spencer all 125. Add in Cortney or Figs, Ramos, McKee, Bennett, and whoever gets hot and on a run at the big dance and we see a bracket buster weight. Who knows how the guys coming down handle the weight cut, who knows how the guys coming off injury are conditioning wise. In other words this is why the Real March Madness is held. This is why the matches are wrestled. I would love to watch it happen. I doubt it does. But think of the exclamation point that Lee could put on his career. Beating one of these guys for #4.
I honestly don't see any of the guys dropping. It would also be a shame to gut 133. I want to see Fix, Glory, RBY, Vito all letting it fly at 133.
Anyway you look at it. Wrestling fans win with good wrestling come March!

Uh, we are talking about 1 kid going down, and the kids I talked about who have been career 125s in college! If Lee wasn't there, they most likely would be.
If we’re talking just for fun I would love to see Spencer and RBY
Is there a special class on how to be a jackwagon if you are a psu fan? It’s like an assembly line just keeps dropping them off over here
🙄
If I’m Daton fix, I want to beat the guy in the national finals who has beaten me the past two but maybe that’s just me. The only reason he would drop, is to try to deny Spencer his 4th. And I’m all for him trying because he has a better chance of beating rby at 133 than he does with Spencer at 125.
But…. we need someone to beat RBY, so there’s that…
Rby is a terrible matchup for him. And Spencer is a terrible matchup for anyone at 125. He has to pick his poison. I truly believe if fix rides rby out for a period, he could win. Just run, ride him out and escape. That’s probably his best chance. Because as good and as fast as fix is with reattacks, rby is better. Fix 2-0 or 2-1 is the only way he wins. Who would you want to win that match dub? Never mind the team race…
Rather see RBY win that one, never mind team race. What about you?
FWIW Courtney started in a big dual vs Cornell over Figs.
Figs missed Midlands with an illness. Figs did go OT and win against Ungar. Courtney didn't have much of a problem with Ungar which definitely gives Courtney the edge currently
