Sorry man, but I hate this take and viewpoint. All the heavyweights are just as athletic these days.
As long as his cut isn't unhealthy he's always better off trimming down then adding bad weight to go against guys that are truly bigger than him.
the results speak for themselves. he will never be as athletic as those guys. the only advantage he had was size.
we’ll have to see how he handles the cut to 197. that’s going to be a very tough 15 lbs
He has a point...Cass wrestled HWY his whole career but moves down and now has to be able to move like a smaller guy. He was very athletic as a bigger guy when he was around 270. But, body locks are tough when you are the smaller dude which he was against Carroll. Just so tough to transition to leg attacks when that wasn't really your thing. Long term, health wise, I totally agree with you.
Add good weight. Bulk up and get stronger, not just get fat. The level of athleticism has clearly increased in the heavies in recent years, but it's still lower than the lower weights.
Great start for my nephew. Took out the #2 seed. 4-0 win.
Cox also looked semi-dead. Lucky to escape that one. At least he made it to weigh ins, though. LOL.
and he was still pretty lean and athletic when he was big. not much bad weight on him.
And he'll never be as athletic as the new breed of heavies, Cass unfortunately is in a limbo state.
Kerk, Parris, Steveson, Hendrickson, all those guys are naturally bigger and more athletic.
Gwiz is also probably more athletic at this point, but he's also naturally bigger. He's likely the last of the old breed of heavies and we'll see how he does against Kerk soon enough
So pick your poison.
This and the audio is terrible. Why is this on peacock? How is peacock still a thing even?
I've been watching the quad box exclusively just to get Sparks instead of the other announcers.
On the PSU forum they say you can log into NBC sports app with log in info and watch.
I haven't had any issues with audio.
Try power cycling your modem & router and disconnecting the wifi from any devices you're not using.
Yep, stream quality has been junk for me on both my tv and laptop. Almost making Flo look good
Dom Bradley apparently still around, too. LOL.

Spencer shoves Nico from center of mat to out of bounds but doesn't get push out point bc ref called Nico down. Such a dumb rule in that circumstance....
Spencer is just too strong for Nico. Impressive win.
Did the ref really just stop it for blood time as Spencer was pinning Nico? Wtf is that.
This might be the best version of Spencer we've ever seen. Scary thought.
Classic. Turn over if it hurts.
I'll tell you what, if SL knees can survive these twists and turns, he'll be okay.
