Maybe it's like they're finally realizing in MMA now that cutting just makes you gassed out and have a cramped up stomach, so weighing 10-20 lbs more doesn't really matter since it's about skills and cardio too?
I remembered wrestling 🤼♀️ when I was getting pinned and I farted 🔥 so the guy released me and we were back up to the neutral position. I got 1 point escape
@@jackblah5842 I feel like those are the two best sports for kids. Gymnastics helps with overall athletic, and so does wrestling. However you also build discipline.
@@rico14 Lol I was a big time judoka and went to many competitions for many years (I'm only 24 now but don't compete anymore), and I did wrestle for 2 years and I started hating folkstyle, I was about to quit completely and then a friend and teammate told me about an upcoming freestyle tournament. I asked what that was and he told me, I said, "Sure fine I will come. But just to watch." So I went and saw some really solid ranked HS and college wrestlers going at each other and I immediately realized I hated folkstyle because it was not the style of wrestling for me, and I realized I loved freestyle a lot more.
Nah it’s kinda like when there is a panel of judges in a boxing or mma match, you never see the judges smile or cheer….they’re analyzing everything, staying calm, not showing to much emotion. Parents are Watching the match from a professional standpoint. Not as a fan or for entertainment
I was in Bo's weight class in high school in Texas and we graduated the same year. I never got the opportunity to wrestle against him but I really would have loved to. I just remember him effortlessly destroying everyone at state. Dudes a monster
It's more likely that he remembered the positions he exposed himself in wrestling other matches and avoided doing that. When you're outmatched, you first have to keep the match close and second figure out a way to land something late. being a hero and getting stuck again doesn't really prove much.
@@frankiegarza9549 I saw Zain Retherford win state title in Pennsylvania innnnn 2012 I think it was, but that was before anyone knew him as the “Zain Train” in college. He was impressive even then. Quick as hell too.
Y’all don’t even understand what moore going through . He can’t any mistakes without Bo correcting him. Y’all prolly don’t understand what wrestling like to wrestle a god like Bo , without him embarrassing you
Jesus is Fake *presses x to doubt*... Moore didn’t cross his feet and looked way more compact and technical with his wrestling (like the commentators pointed out) but still lost, that doesn’t discredit him or anything but it goes to show how good Nickal actually is
One of the things that is so interesting about watching Bo Nickal wrestle is the way he can get into a bad position, and you're sure he is going to lose points, but he fights his way out of it almost effortlessly. At least it looks effortless.
It seemed like Bo let it stay close. Moore nearly ties it in the third but Bo wiggles free. With about 30 seconds left Bo flips the switch, gets the takedown and locks up the nearside cradle. Perhaps out of respect for Moore he just holds his position instead of going for the pin like he did in the dual.
Bo looks like one of those wrestlers who was a little over their first weight class they had in mind and then bumped up so he can eat and still dominates
Watching the two of them run into the arena, it was night and day in terms of their builds and athleticism. Obviously Kollin Moore is very athletic but watching them run in was likely watching a brick saunter vs a soccer player sprint. Bo's movement is just freer... less hindered by muscle despite having plenty of it. True athlete. Probably could have been good at just about anything if he wanted to be.
Moore has to have nightmares about cradles from Bo... got the feeling that if he wanted to he could have stuck his head in the hip at the end and put Moore on his back...like the dual meet that year.
Poor Moore. This season he no longer has to worry about having to wrestle Bo but look who he will have to face this year from Penn State. His old nemesis from Kent State, Kyle Conel! Kyle has wrestled Moore twice and beat him twice in 2018 (both in NCAA's). Got pinned and lost by decision to Kyle.
It amazes me how often college matches end with the score so close. You see guys who go undefeated with wins with scores like 2-1. Bit a win is a win right. Those who lose the match just as sad and devastating at this level. Same thing at the Olympics.
@bullyfaguireproblem is in an actual fight a boxer stands literally ZERO chance against a wrestler. That’s something that every boxer & boxing fan is forced to live with now, in 2023 everyone knows this and the general public know it now too. Bo Nickal literally destroys every single boxer that exists. Period. You can say “it’s gay” all you want, but the truth is, Bo could make your favorite Boxer his wife, ones the hammer & one is the nail, the boxer will always be the nail… now that’s “gay” 😂
Dont give up Moore, hes a monster! How tf did that late shot not score??? It's not often you see an over penetration when it comes to a single or double leg takedown.
He isn't beating someone like Gordon Ryan. Just not going to happen. Edit: Had no idea they had already grappled. Yeah, Gordon Ryan is just a different animal.
I rooted against Nickal as an Ohio State fan and a fan against college monopolies- but I gotta say that Nickal was special in college. I mean, I think Snyder's feats were much more historical- but Snyder never quite made it look as easy. Moore wrestled a decent match here and had opportunities- but Nickal was just too tough to finish a takedown. I think Nickal is more impressive than Nolf. I honestly think that Hidlay was robbed against Nolf. Winning with an injury was impressive, but still....he shouldn't have won in my opinion. Yianni pulled a cradle out of his but against Meredith and was gifted a win verse McKenna. I can't really think of any guys who made winning look as easy as Nolf- Even Retherford and Steibber had to work for it at times. I will say that Spencer Lee is on a different level. I'm not sure how he will fare in international style, but he could beat any wrestler in the world at folk style at his weight.
You don’t know know the level the Zain Retherford was at coming out of high school. Junior world team member, cadet team member, Powerade finalist. State champ, you name Zain’s done it. Bronze medalist in 2019 (should’ve won it but he just hadn’t fully grasped the rules of freestyle until now, 2022). So no, Zain dominated everyone. Beat Sorensen like it was easy. Teched the guy In his second title.
I wasn’t really a fan until I’ve started watching his wrestling matches, he’s wrestling dudes that’s look like they on the steroids and he natural af and he’s dominating them all with his technique
its gotta be crazy frustrating cael watching some of them wrestle, like cael sanderson was a different monster, Bo is a legend but cael is the GOAT, that man literaly never stopped attacking all of his wins were high scoring
Would ya look at that how humble he is after winning. I’m sick of these champions thinking they’re gods after a win. Perfect example of controlling your emotions.
I have no idea what the rules and regulations of wrestling are but its still fun to watch the competition between two guys basically fighting. I understand fighting.. like boxing or MMA much better lol.
I was wondering who would be the first to make such a sophomoric observation. Way to be observant Caption obviously stupid. I'd love to see you say that to his face. He would twist you into a pretzel .
Imma just say it, I don't like it when Bo Nickal helps his competitors up despite them not taking it. I know that sounds petty, but I don't think it's a sportsmanship move. I will agree sometimes when a guy will actually accept his hand to get up, and that's respectful, but when they refuse it, Bo will go out of his way to pick them up at the hip or something awkward. At that point, I think it's just a domination move. Some examples I've seen are him against Moore at their meet and Hokit and round 2 of the NCAAs
You might be looking too Much into it. I think he’s just being sportsmanlike. But keep in mind it’s a combat sport where one man is literally attempting to physically dominate another, that’s the truth. There’s genuine conflict Going on in there and it’s in a competitive environment, so even IF Bo was kinda “big brothering” his opponents I don’t have a problem with it.
Nickels like and athletic more examplosive faster Askren without the funky dad bod. When he stands straight up and baits him and does things that your taught your whole life not to like that and has success it does remind me of AssChin.
Jesus is Fake would it just take too long? Or just be stale mate of not trying to be pinned? To the casual fan, this is hard to watch. Did i grow up on mats? No, but ive been rolling a few years and not completely ignorant to combat. Am i dumb? yes. Dont you guys want this sport to grow?? Growth would eventually bring more money to these guys that kill themselves for years with no real fiscal return ... look how BJJ is slowly evolving with EBI ... or polaris.
@awesomeguynamedjon it's not hard to not get pinned, it would be easy to just stall If he even got close, matches would never end, and they have hundreds of them to go through at these tournaments so yeah, you are stupid
Thanks everyone very entertaing. One thing to say but first. That to know a trick is better to know a move to that to learn your own move is valuable insight that you can't know how to make it up. That you need to know that you can make your own move like a Glide dropping suplex. Lastly how very much smarter like a flying in suplex on the mat. And how cool is that but you'll never expect to be able to take that is n to ultimately know now that know college names are difficult but to know everyone's college like OSU Oak State University and not too confusing much harder a name to know very simple.
Nickal looks like he just rolled out of bed without cutting at all, and won the ncaa championship without even trying
Nickal is that guy that naps at tournaments and wakes up right before a match
Maybe it's like they're finally realizing in MMA now that cutting just makes you gassed out and have a cramped up stomach, so weighing 10-20 lbs more doesn't really matter since it's about skills and cardio too?
@@MichaelStix only if you're cutting wrong does it do that, when you watch your diet and do it right without starving yourself, you will be good..

Anybody that wrestled Nickal and was able to get to the 2nd period did a great job.

I mean this is his third time winning I would be unimpressed but proud too😭🤷🏾♂️
Coach Nickal was my HS wrestling coach. Great guy and his wife is also a great person. Bo comes from great stock.

Man Bo is a monster! 30-0 and it's just like whatevers, big ups to him!
It looked effortless...
I think Bo wanted to saver his last match
Yeah, as cool as this match was and how 197 was Bo’s best weight class, there could’ve been more points scored
It was
The pat on the back at the end is the best part
It’s sad to see him go. Thank u for all you did bo.

Its like kollin moore already knew he would lose, no effort.

He saved Moore ten years of therapy.

I like his haircut in green.
he is very strong and very fast
hiver chaud coundnt have said it better
In the middle of the first quarter Moore was leaning on bo bo could have popped it and shot
saw that too
Edog Fannin don’t tell bo what he can do bitch
Here because Gordon Ryan will face Bo, didn't know who he was looking forward to the match
Too bad its clean athlete vs roided athlete. Gordan Ryan will be much bigger
I have Gordan winning by rear naked face squeeze.
Gordan will have to sweep him to get top position. Obviously he's not going to be able to take Bo down.
damn scotty sire go hard
I know people might disagree but as somebody who doesn’t know a ton about grappling I find wrestling to be much more spectator friendly than bjj.
Yup just alot more fast paced
BJJ needs to have rules to that rewards aggressiveness and punishes passivity
WELL there is catch wrestling. Which is between freestyle and nogi bjj.
Wow. Bo is so tactical.
its gotta be crazy frustrating cael watching some of them wrestle, like cael sanderson was a different monster, Bo is a legend but cael is the GOAT, that man literaly never stopped attacking all of his wins were high scoring

It’s like listening to his dads calling his match

When will Bo Nickal leave so someone else can win
Uhh miles Martin
how does he even hear
