I think he could beat Gomez for the spot. Especially if he had spent the last year putting on weight.
Now that's one of the most scientific analyses that I have read on the cesspool in a long time. You're putting @IRONBIRD to shame.
You don't have to feel the same way, but I stand by what my eyes saw. Not going to bully me into apologizing for having an opinion based on my own observation rather than message board conjecture.
Ah, internet says he's massive, fvck my eye test, that settles it.
Guess we'll see next weekend. Kind of ironic that Austin Gomez was able to deck Desanto and RBY at 133, yet nobody thinks RBY can be effective at 57kg.
I never said he wasn’t going to be effective. Gomez wrestled his RS Freshman year…yea he had some big moves but Desanto majored him in the Rd of 12 match because he didn’t have much in the tank. Even back then, there were reports of Gomez having a tough time cutting. His final three years of eligibility have been two weights up.
Yes. With today's training /nutrition methods, I believe many guys from the past would be competitive with today's wrestlers. Some guys would be just as dominant as they were in their day. Some guys are just so mentally tough, they refuse to lose.
See above. Those guys didn't have the advanced training techniques of today, but if they did have, would be just as good.
I'm pretty sure Desanto got off his back, so he didn't deck both.
Sorry. This is a crossover from two threads, but I'm too busy to change it up now.
I hope Richards and RBY qualify the spots, because I want to see Spencer crush RBY in the Olympics. I think it might be a decent match at 61kg if Spencer moved up. I think the cut is too much to 57kg for RBY.
Sheeeh…. Even my efforts at guessing girlfriends’ weight back in the day seems more scientific.
it would be a valid discussion if people had any idea or insight into rby's cut
and when the best information we have is "i stood next to him and he looked small so his cut can't be that bad", it's clear we don't really know what we're talking about
even you didn't know what country he was competing for...hard to get much validity from discussion that starts with a lack of information like that
This is supposed to be a thread about Spencer, not RBY.
For him it's about winning not just making a team. He can't win at 65kg
I learned not to guess ages and weight a long time ago. Guess you did too since you said "back in the day" lol
As far as the weight, the only thing that mattered to me was the eye test.
Could have been 250 if they looked like this. 🤣
I wouldn't have cared.
When they wrestle, if Spencer wins, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I'd be pretty shocked if he didn't. I will cheer for him if/when he represents our country. However, if he loses, he was wrestling at less than 50%.

You should. It's not some stain on your character or a criminal offense... but you were wrong and you are wrong. When presented with evidence, you SHOULD change your mind.
It's ok to be wrong fella.
The old “lap” scale I take it?!? My lap scale is highly calibrated.

Not sure if this will remain the same or not if one mat has quicker matches than others.
Nate Jackson has won both matches. Pantaleo and Facundo also with wins. Both Lee’s coming up shortly.
The livestream link doesn't quite work -I can see the mat assignment schedule, but live stream doesn't launch. I'm clicking the screen everywhere seeking any rabbit hole to watch

35 second TF for Spencer. TD and 4 turns with a gut. Opponent was complaining about Spencer pulling or bending his fingers to his corner. Not sure what he wanted them to do.
Still trying to grasp the qualification process. If Zane doesn't qualify 57 next weekend, anyone know what options remain for USA to qualify the weight? Any way that Spencer could have a say in qualifying the weight?
How does Spencer get in total match shape when he rarely goes past a couple of minutes?
Spencer is just so good at turning. Its almost like if you get taken down, its over quickly.
If I recall there is a last chance tournament for those not qualified and I think it is after our OTT process and the winner of that can qualify the spot at the last chance tournament
Thanks. It looks like this would be the World Olympic qualifier with the last 3 quotas up for grabs. It is in May after the Olympic Team Trials in April to pick our reps. I assume the OTT winner would be able to wrestle in the last chance qualifier to get USA the spot if needed? Hard to find clear info on all the qualifications details, and it seems to change year to year.
Those singlets are terrible. Looks like he pissed his pants. Why would they put a dark spot there?
The last guy I remember wrestling at the last chance qualifier was Jordan Oliver. He didn’t place top 2 or 3 and the U.S. didn’t have a 65 Kg. Repay the Olympics. I don’t remember if he won the OTT or not.

There is an argument that the way to build endurance is mostly low intensity. The idea is consistent long low intensity workouts. Then you sprinkle in a bit of high intensity sessions but you don't need to do a lot of them. Theoretically he could get his high intensity in one day of training each week.
Wash, rinse, repeat. Almost identical to his first match as Lee with the TF in ~30 seconds.
Unofficially, I have 62 seconds of total mat time so far.
