I think Greg needs more conditioning, I don’t want to be a hypocrite and act like I can move with 265 gold medal material but he’s the only person I’ve seen consistently get to Gable’s legs. As the match went on he ran out of power to finish and chase.
Both these guys are from the state of Minnesota. Gable from Apple valley and Greg from simley which they did wrestle at least once that I know of that Gable won
Pretty much spot on in my opinion. I couldn't explain it better. I see Greg as being a huge threat after Gable, not as dominant maybe (Steveson is the type that comes once in a long time) but man... Kerkvilet is getting better in every area. There will always be others but they seem to repair, improve, or cobble together one strength at a time while Greg is smooth with transitions everywhere.
it's still sad to see gable retire, he couldve been the next cael sanderson or jordan burroughs but I'm happy that i lived in a time where i got to see this guy wrestle. Never have i seen someone so dominant in any sport before where it didn't feel like he had 0 competition even at the world level. But I'm glad he got to end it on his terms unlike so many other athletes.
Sanderson never won a world championship but yes he was 2004 Olympic champion. Far from Jordan Burroughs repertoire. Sanderson did lose quite a few international competitions.
I'm from Brazil and Gable is responsible for my love for college wrestling, I followed his wrestles and even cheered for him at the Olympics and I hope to see him more in international wrestling
@@bobklein1665Cael won 4 natties in college and never lost a match. Ended college career in 2002. Qualified the weight in 2023 & won the Olympics in 2024. He’s was like 24 then basically retired from wrestling and built PSU. He would have won plenty of WC if he wanted to wrestle till he was 38
That adjustment in the 3rd to get the takedown around 7:52 was incredible. Kerk through out 3 shots to force stall/ get a quick 2. Gable feints, baiting the shot and snaps through it for 2.

Gable Stevenson is an icon, he grew up in my neighborhood before I was born, he went to my elementary school and to my high school, but he’s a lot older than me. He’s always been someone to look up to in my wrestling journey.
@@joppo6997 cohlton will chest wrap and unless Kirk puts on some muscle and weight, I think Cohlton can easily flip the situation. Gable was a good combo of speed, movement, strength and weight But I am excited to see that match for sure
Yeah he's only 6'1 fighting and wrecking bigger dudes at every level. Can you imagine him in 8th grade fighting senior varsity wrestlers? His only loss in school came as an 8th grader in the state championship. Kinda like his college career..he needed that loss to Cassar to fuel his fire and take training serious because he would just steamroll through guys without putting in 100% effort.
@@BrendanSlob True. He was cruising through basically all the other guys and then Cassar, who was on a mission in 2019, beat him on a last second takedown. One of the few times Gable has ever faced someone of his own stature and athleticism.
@@rickhammond2473 Gable being 265 is such a stupid excuse for losing, theres nothing stopping other heavyweights from gaining weight/muscle, he’s in a different league, wrestling against the worlds best and not just college athletes
@@rickhammond2473 then why is gable quicker and has better takedowns than kerk? And what’s stopping kerk from getting so big himself if it’s just a cheatcode to wrestling

I was hoping he would be able to take Gable down once
Ya he gassed. High elevation cardio would do him good.

He did have competition with Anthony Cassar that beat him twice doe
dude isn't retiring bro he is finish his college career and is gonna go to wwe and when the olympics come back he will go back

Gabe can move and make it look easy......the sign of a champion
Gable has beaten him 3 times, once in high school, last year and now, I believe

That road runs thru coltsn shultz

@@joppo6997 idk how your coming up with that? He's already got a win over him.
Those two men were just so tired, yet still were gracious to each other.
Wow.....just a quick agile guy.....none of these other dudes have this gift....at least no like Steveson....
Gabe makes them all look like they are big for no reason. 🤣🤣🤣

@@vaderentertainment8879 Dude..he's 6'1 and it's listed on all his bios.
Flashback in the late March of 2022
Great match
Steveson was great no doubt, what Cassar did was more impressive to me considering his high school career and eligibility problems in college.
Rematch coming this year. Greg needs to work on extreme conditioning and finishing. He can beat gable but it will take everything he has.
Yannis dad was a national champ in 1991... congrads to pops also
He's back :o
You did not spell Kervliet wrong in the title
I agree with Geno Capri. Greg’s grip and upper body strength against Stevenson was honestly insane to watch. He’s gonna destroy next year no doubt
He needs to come in with a good performance to beat Cohlton
How does rise time work
Its ridiculous how easy gable makes every match seem
Negative ghost rider. Dude from Arizona will be number one as a heavy weight!!!!!
Both are in WWE now 🔥
LOVE TO SEE OUR MINNESOTA WRESTLERS KICKIN BUTT.
Who's here before CJI?
Carlos Spring
I've wrestled Greg and he's actually terrible 😮
The current NCAA HWT champ?
The wrestling 🐐 gable Stevenson BLM ✊🏾
This is hilariously boring to watch
Then dont watch it
This is great high level wrestling
You Definitely right about that
The day Gable retires from work is the day he packs on the pounds he already has a belly,sheesh.
That’s why he’s a heavy weight bro
bro acting like it’s like an unseen thing for a heavyweight to have stomach fat
@@rickhammond2473 bro he’s a smaller heavyweight compared to everyone else😭😭
