Minny dual predictions

[edquinn06]

125-McCrone just beat Flynn so I give Cruz a chance here. I’ll give it to the higher ranked guy tho. 0-3
133-Drake by dec, pushing for major 3-3
141-dec Minny, could be major 3-6
149- dec Parco, could be major 6-6
157-dec Temmer. Hopefully he performs first and entertains second. Could be a major then. 9-6
165-dec Cali 12-6
174-dec PK, might see Brands 15-6
184-dec Minny. Gabe could win if he wrestles the way we know he can. 15-9
197-dec SB, Minny will try to keep it close. 18-9
285-Bonus for Gable. Hoping for major but could easily be tech. 18-14 IOWA

 

[GableBeer]

I expect bonus for Drake and Parco

 

[Spoons]

How many matches does Ferrari have left 1 or 2? I am going to say he will wrestle against the Cowboys but if he has 2 left don’t be surprised to see him against Minnesota. He could also just against Minnesota as well. I guess all I am saying is it’s a little early to say especially considering we don’t know lineups yet.

In Wells’ two years in college, none of his 12 losses have been by bonus. Granted, he’s never wrestled a national finalist level guy like Ayala (closest was probably Ragusin last year) but Wells is difficult to score on.

I do not think he will beat Ayala by any means, but he’s actually pretty similar to Nebraska’s Van Dee and I see their match playing out the same way. One maybe two takedowns the whole time, trade escapes.

Parco, on the other hand, will indeed bonus.

Shawver beat Wells 8-2 last Sunday, that's the closest he's come to getting bonused in his career.

IMO, Iowa's best chance for bonus are Parco, Kennedy and Ayala. Minnesota will almost certainly get bonus from Steveson and Vombaur.

BK with the upset.

BK with the upset.

Ok, whatever you say 3boysportsmom............. 😁

 

[dtripp26]

BK with the upset.

Love BK but Gable is only losing to some neck beard guy from a country I can't spell, or a roided up dude in tights.

 

[Hawkeye in DFW]

BK with the upset.

At 54 years old, if I had some of what you are smoking I would be dead. Tech fall coming and I love BK.

 

[Sportsmomof3]

I didn’t write it! 🤣 BUT I never count him out when he “toes the line”. Look, Ben will give it all he’s got!

 

[Sportsmomof3]

🤢

 

[HawkeyePA]

Fellas, It doesn't matter if you think BK has a chance to beat Gable Steveson... It only matters that BK thinks he can beat him and gets on the mat and gives it his best effort which I am sure BK will most certainly do. Upsets never happen if the matches aren't wrestled.

Just ignore all the predictions. People will always say who they think will win. Some will be nicer than others. I know it's hard reading what's said about Ben. Some here will keep doing it because they know it pisses you off. My suggestion is hit that log off button and check back in April. Most here know Ben will compete his ass off whenever he steps on the mat. Wrestling guys like Gable and Hendrickson will only make him better down the road. Enjoy the stretch run and we will see you back here in April.

It just sucks because I love the inside perspective parents and family have to offer to this forum, but I get why they would stay away. All too often people say things that just make me cringe. Sometimes posters need to think about whether they would say the same thing if a wrestler or family member was standing right in front of them and if you wouldn't, don't post it!

Big Ben is getting plenty of love in this thread!

As a wrestler he should be preparing to win, that's the mentality you want. As a parent you believe in your kid no matter who they are playing.

As a fan it's easier to step back and look at the match more objectively. I hope Ben pulls off the upset of a lifetime (preferably in March!) but understand that is a tall task against an Olympic champion.

Pre dual interview. Spencer says Takuto Otoguro is visiting soon, will be nice to have him here.

Isn't the guy like 30 now?!?!
Seriously did he have some COVID year or something? Sorry if I missed it.

I see you tagged my post. I love BK and will cheer for him in every match. However, the title of the thread is Minny dual predictions and predicting that Gable will bonus BK isn't hate. It's the most likely outcome. If I would have said disparaging things about Ben, then I would deserve the reaction. Also, if I was talking to his family and they asked me for a prediction, I would say the same thing while cheering loudly for BK.

I was actually replying to West2East's post. Not sure why yours was tagged with it. I think I fixed it now.

He's only 24, still pretty young in comparison to a lot of guys the last few years. He was a freshman 2019, soph 2020, Covid free years 2021, junior 2022, redshirt 2023, Olympic redshirt 2024, senior 2025.

Same start year as Teemer.

 

[24timenattychamps]

Same start year as Teemer.

Also same age as Carter and Greg

 

[the24fan]

Gotcha.
damn seems like Steveson has been around forever.

 

[Spoons]

Same start year as Teemer.

What’s that make Starcrap then?

 

[Spoons]

They have a shot at beating us but here’s my thought.

125: Upset special Cruz gets a BIG Win 3-0
133: Major Drake 7-0
141: Major for Minni 7-4
149: Dec for Parco should be more 10-4
157: Major for Teemer 14-4
165: Major for Cali 18-4
174: Dec Brands 21-4
184: Dec Minni 21-7
Hwt: Gable gets a tech 21-11.
A lot could be different could lose 125 and might not get any bonus pts. Still just don’t seeing Minni beating the Hawks

It's gotten to the point where reporters are scared to ask questions Tom has them answering their own questions lol

 

[sdvike]

Gotcha.

So quit college wrestling but took a redshirt while doing pro wrassling and an Oly shirt while playing football for the Bills. I don't know how it works but was he also enrolled in and taking college credits during these years?

You skipped 197 and only gave Gable 4 points when you said tech.

I like the pick at 125. That would make it next to impossible for the Gophers to pull out a win.

 

[sdvike]

Add 1 for them and 4 for the good guys.

As much as that - if they would not say something about their own son they should probably just think it and leave it at that.

 

[Spoons]

Sorry just came in from pushing snow and wasn’t thinking straight. 🤪

A rent free tenant in your head. Your reflex to respond like this to somebody just because of their affiliation speaks more about you than about me.

He will be 25 in May. Which is really neither here nor there. Imagine BK’s body in 4 or 5 years!

Spoons! Don’t predict tech. My nerves are already off the charts! Shit. C’mon Benjo! Fight kid. Maybe we should start the dual Hwt? 🤣🤣🤣. I HATE waiting the whole dual. 😭
