Lee & DeSanto - Thoughts?

[leeps]

These guys are competitors, friends, and great teammates. They both have an awesome energy about them and DeSanto a little more edgy. It's great and that's what makes them each great.
How big/narrow do you think the gap between these two is in the wrestling room? Again I know friends and different weights, but when they are grappling do you think its a 2-3 point match? How tight do you think it is?
We all know how great Spencer is. DeSanto is also very good. They no doubt make each other better. I just wonder how close they are skill wise and what the score would be in a match if it were to take place today. Thoughts???

Desanto is beatable, Lee is not.

Desanto is beatable, Lee is not.

Desanto is beatable, Lee is not.

Decision? Major? Tech fall? If they were to wrestle today.

Desanto is beatable, Lee is not.

I love Spencer as much as the next guy, but doesn't he have like 5 losses in his career? He's certainly not unbeatable.

Lee is on another level right now, it’s scary how good he is.

With these two guys you could wrestle ten matches and get a different outcome. My money would be on Spencer in most of those but DeSanto can go and take down anyone. Be worth the price of admission and could actually happen in freestyle competition down the road.

This is the first year he is full health. Knee his freshman year, and mono his sophomore season.

If you don't think Spencer Lee is on another level compared to his first two years...

This! Lee seems to have a gas tank now, to go with his vast technical skill. This year Lee has looked awesome.

Lee vs Desanto? Desanto is bigger, so not exactly a fair match. If Desanto cut to 125, Lee would easily handle him. If it was 133, I'd probably still favor Lee, but close. Desanto has past wins over national champions at 133 in Suriano and Gross, and iirc, a close loss to Fix.

I’m assuming TnT wouldn’t let Spencer wrestle with his left arm tied behind his back?

kinda like the marinelli,kemerer 1,2 punch myself.

 

[millhawk]

Wouldn't bet against Lee...but AD's size, length might give Lee a problem.

 

[Is_there_vodka_in_heaven]

Definitely an interesting hypothetical match to consider.

Definitely an interesting hypothetical match to consider.

Yep. And that's as far as it will go while in black and gold. Beyond its Spencer as he has the freestyle portfolio where AD doesn't.

If Spencer takes him down early, he's in deep doo-doo, which is what I believe would happen.

Not sure how it could be staged, but for S’s and Giggles it could be a fun opportunity for new facility fundraising to have a wrestle off before next season...
