Spencer Lee Knee Brace
- Thread starter 1032004
- Start date
same thing he wore at senior nationals last year. Freestyle has a different type of rule where the large knee brace like Lee and Bull wear is not acceptable...hence why Bull didnt wear his. Since they wrestled other guys outside of HWC unlike Myles Wilson wore his since he was wrestling Kennady.
Got ya, thanks for the explanation. Didn't remember what he wore for Sr Nats last year
I've been thinking about the infamous knee brace ever since Lee didn't wear one at Sr. Nationals last year. Why does he still wear one? Is it truly precautionary? Seems odd that he would still wear it if it was precautionary.
I'm pretty sure Marinelli tore or slightly tore his ACL and that's why he wears it but why does Lee?

Spencer injured his knee before the season started last year. Look at the knee sleeve he wore during his sophomore championship run and compare it to the brace he wore last year. Last years brace was about stability. I’m not sure if he’s had surgery since March. We shall see when the season starts.
Keep wearing it. It hasn’t been a problem so far and if he can tech dudes with a monster brace and save a knee, I’m all for it.
I was watching the 2018 semifinals yesterday and if the HWC has another event then Marinelli needs to face Imar. That match was physical.
That would be a matchup I’d like to see. Imar hasn’t been on the mat for a while that I remember so he might want a tuneup.
I wouldn't call any sort of match with Marinelli a "tuneup". I'd call it a God damn war.
Depends on where you see Marinelli and where you see Martinez in the pecking order of 74kg. Martinez is top 3 to only Dake and Burroughs and took a match from Burroughs, while beating 4th/5th ranked Nolf handedly in their best of 3 at the WTT by scores of 9-4(was 9-2 before Nolf got in with 4 seconds left) and 11-2. Nolf is higher in the pecking order than Marinelli, so I'd probably say Marinelli would be a tune up for Imar. You don't want some straight up scrub, but you want someone that you would realistically beat handedly but still presents a fight. Imar would beat Marinelli pretty easily IMO and it's not a slight against Marinelli but more so a compliment to where I see, and where I assume Crablegs see's, Martinez relative to the best in the world.
The pecking order is irrelevant in this argument. A "tuneup" is usually considered a cakewalk. You're confident Imar wins pretty easily, conversely I'm confident it would be anything but easy. I'm sure Imar walks away with the win, but it would be a hard fought win. If there's one wrestler out there that will punish you for winning, it Marinelli.
Also, James Green walked into that match thinking he was going to steamroll him and did that happen? No, Green even admitted as much. The Bull doesn't have the offense yet to beat the top tier guys and I never even hinted at that. But that doesn't mean he's an easy beatdown for anyone.
This is a perfect time to participate in these “see where you are at” type matches. A match with Imar would be another great example of this for Bull Or Kem. I would also like to one of these guys go against Massa, the gap will close with each one of these matches.
Jaydin Is right with the top guys in the US and this last match was by far the best I’ve seen him, I would like to see him wrestle JO or McKenna if possible.
Spencer is a world beater there is nobody at 57kg on this planet he cannot beat if he is healthy and wrestling his best. I think the best matches for him would be guys with international style like guys from Russia and surrounding countries, but Setting up any matches with guys outside the US right now Is pretty much out of the question, Maybe A match with Joe Colon or Vito would work.

Nolf’s knee was really banged up for those matches. I would think he’d give Imar a better test if healthy.
But now IMar is hurt
