I know this is up a weight but.....
If people are putting Dayton on Spencer's level and then not predicting him to demolish Lizak, I have no idea why they are making predictions. Lizak was no where close to putting Spencer in any danger at any point, if Dayton is that good, he should have no issues with Lizak.
I think he beats the back pack easily and loses to Gross.
Good point. I think Fix chooses bottom and escapes from Lizak. He is not the point scoring machine like Lee, so I expect the score to be close, but take Dalton with a solid 4-1 win.I know this is up a weight but.....

Has Lizak ever turned a good wrestler?
he was beating TG handily until Gilman decided to turn it up and get the pin. He turned Picc like a top on the back side to end his NCAA tournament last year.Has Lizak ever turned a good wrestler?
Yep turned him a couple of timesI think he turned Gilman early in that match that TG won down the stretch.
Besides Gilman, he also turned Tomasello in the Big Ten finals, I believe.Has Lizak ever turned a good wrestler?
I can’t find writeup of Lizak v. freshman Suriano, but it was an 8-6 match. He might have turned him once. I know he rode him hard.
Thanks. I figured it was a TD or a quick turn.If I remember correctly, there were no back points in this one, just that tough ride by Lizak. Suriano had a bunch of takedowns, but gave up one to Lizak. I also think Suriano chose neutral in this match.
I highly doubt Daton Fix is afraid to go bottom on either of those guys.
I know we like to discredit wrestlers from other teams, but he's an undefeated 4x hs champ and world champ. He's not afraid of anyone in the country. Just like our very own Spencer Lee.
Also, turned Picc multiple times to get the win after being down like 7-0.Besides Gilman, he also turned Tomasello in the Big Ten finals, I believe.
Ya. Just ask Gilman how to wear him out from the bottom.Yeah, Lizak can ride, ask Gilman- he ain't too shabby. As dangerous on top as anyone not named Lee. Guess we'll see early where Fix is. Really hope both the Gross and Lizak matches happen.
I think this is the first time (apologies if I had missed prior occurrences) I am seeing 'Dalton' Fix, and while i have no animosity towards the young man, I love the spirit wrong-naming opponents.Good point. I think Fix chooses bottom and escapes from Lizak. He is not the point scoring machine like Lee, so I expect the score to be close, but take Dalton with a solid 4-1 win.
Will take Gross to win 6-5.
I think Fix takes both matches. Both Gross and Lizak are better on top than Dayton, but I think his takedown versatility is the X factor. He’s also got an elite gas tank and the ability to win close matches late. I’m very excited to see him vs Suriano.
Daton Fix was ranked higher than Spencer lee in high school. That wasn’t an oversight by flo or Intermat. He is damn good.
Will he replicate Spencer’s success? Who knows. Does he have the talent to do so? Absolutely. Remember this is a guy who (like Spencer) has tech’d his way to an age level world title.
I don’t think we see them go one on one until Olympic trials. I am fairly sure they are the same weight.
Fix was rated higher because he had more good losses.
Spencer has only one
It was done after Spencer lost with a torn ACL to Desanto. And no Daton does not have more “upside”.I was under the impression Flo said when it did the swap that they were saying Daton would have more upside and that’s why.
Maybe willie or Christian can stop by and let us know what prompted the change. I honestly don’t remember. I just recall the swap out.

IMO there is no way Fix beats Lee 3/10 if its at 125, and if its folkstyle. If Lizak and Gross have a hard time riding Fix, I will change my tune, but until he shows his mat wrestling abilities I'm going with Spencer at least 9 out of 10.
The problem with Suriano vs Fix now is it will never compare to their epic whose number 1 match. No matter how great that match is this time, it simply can’t compete.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, please do yourself a favor and watch. And I’m not saying that because it’s Nick and I heart Rutgers. It really is worth the time.

Yeah I have to agree with this. Last year when the back pack could only ride SL for 27 seconds, told me all I needed to know about how elite that kid was. Anyone have the gif of Lizak mouthing "fuuuu" after Spencer got the reversal? Classic.IMO there is no way Fix beats Lee 3/10 if its at 125, and if its folkstyle.

I'm not sold yet.I wouldn't be surprised if Fix goes undefeated.
