I remember facing Brucki back in High School... Hes a lot stronger than he looks it's crazy. I remember just shaking his hand it cracked mine. Hes always been this big though even as a Junior in high school. He ended up tech falling me, with 3 seconds left in the period. My goal was just to not get pinned. After the match I even had a black eye from the crazy strong cross face he had.
I'd unironically consider this to be an all time great match. Not because it was close, but just the looks of both. One looks like he's a bodybuilder, and the other looks as if he just got done streaming Fortnite all night.
i’ve long held this opinion, but Brucki doesn’t look like he was struggling even a little bit. he looks like he kind of gave up, he wasn’t trying to open up Nickal’s grip or move a leg, he just kind of spread out his arms in defeat.
why would princeton wrestler just walk out of bounds right after doing 95% of the work for an escape and 1 point...which bo was practically giving to him at that point...now he must start all over on the ground with 1 of the best wrestlers on top...definitely not an efficient use of his energy...in my opinion
Bo said he didn't cut weight his senior year while I guarantee Brucki walks around at like 210 or 220. Bo may not have a super impressive physique but he's clearly strong af.
Because Bo was still on top so it just him staying on top. If Brucki escape an got 1 point and Bo did that then he would have gotten 2 points for a takedown.
Love that cradle game. Pushing so hard for that near side cradle that he baits Brucki in to giving up the far side. Side note - love that Brucki kid, excited to see him do work this year at 197.
HOW is Bo SO good at that go behind? Like he’s skipping around the #4 kid in the country like it’s a middle school kid who tripped trying to hit a single. Just unreal.
Dolf Dervish Because the first one is not a takedown, its a mat return. You get points everytime you do something in the match that results in you gaining complete control over your opponent, and since Nickal was already in control prior to the mat return, he didnt earn any points.
Bo has leverage because of his technique. A much stronger man will lose to a man who is a bit weaker but a better Wrestler. Edit: Muscle also takes away from endurance. Take it from a guy who has Wrestled, BJJ. boxing, then powerlifting and bodybuilding lol. My lighter self would whip my heavier selfs ass probably haha.
imagine being rated fourth, 32-1 and you just handled. my good friend said it best about Wrestling (fighting in general). "There's levels to this shit"
man- he faked out Brucki with where he was going with that cradle lockup like Jordan Russell in the nba finals. He locked it so fast I had to rewind 3 times.
TF its only 2-1 ( o has 1:25 riding time) Brucki gave up at 3:20 no set up and a half azz shot... it was over then. Like he got paid to throw the match... just no heart in it
Brucki looks stacked in this video! Despite the match result, I bet Brucki could lift heavier weight than Bo in all aspects (Squats, bench, curls, etc.)
Good job Bo but yeah I don't see him at the 2020 games J'Den Cox has that locked up. He did get a gold in the U23 doh. I'd like to see Bo follow in Ed Ruth's path and get into submission grappling, mma not so much. He should go train with lovato in okc or Travis Stevens.
At what point is a name a “household” name? I mean I’ve never heard of him. Almost nobody I know has heard of him and the fact your daughter said his name might have a little bit to do with the fact YOU are a wrestling announcer.....

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the ref? He was all over that pin! Lol
Matthew didn't even notice and he was like inches away😂
@@DaBrock6 he was all the in there! Lol
Da Brock omg fr 😂😂 I was so focused on the pin I didn’t realize he was slithering all around there😂😂
Hillarious, he did a full circle
Your absolutely right. That ref circled looking at the angles. He got the right angle quickly, and called a pin exactly when he should have.
Princeton guy intimidated and outclassed. Couldn’t counter Nickels quickness and technical expertise. A different level.
Yes yes yes holy
Insane, Bo looks so laidback and also looks weaker compared to Brucki. Truly shows how good Bo Nickal is...
This^^^
Dudes an alien quite literally

Noah Upchurch yeah he went to my school Carl Sandburg high school ___ he comes a lot I’m on the freshman team here
Noah Upchurch brucki is huge what do you mean he’s stronger than he looks
naeson Skyline GT-R he has less muscle than most 197 pounders
@@sirsams552 are you serious? You know he isn't talking about Bo right.

It was so fun to watch Bo. Absolute magician on the mat.
Nickal's reach around is all the way to his opponents hip. Amazing
Sucks man. We didn't get to see how 197 played out this year at the tournament. Brucki, Moore, and Adams would've been amazing.
All 3 of Nickal's takedowns were scored on very soft attacks by Brucki on the legs which were too obvious and easy for Nickal to counter..
“Just shoot on me, I double dare you.” HARRRD to beat Bo Nickal when he’s this focused.
Bo doesn’t even looks like a small 184 😭. Yet dominated a top 5 opponent who’s a monster himself at 197. Crazy
When you have the talent of bo and then your coach is the greatest wrestler of all time.... it's a winning combo.
i’ve long held this opinion, but Brucki doesn’t look like he was struggling even a little bit. he looks like he kind of gave up, he wasn’t trying to open up Nickal’s grip or move a leg, he just kind of spread out his arms in defeat.
Yeah I saw that he didn’t even fight the grip or anything he just kinda took it.
Agree! Then again, I think Bo's strength was more than there in a BJ Penn sort of way. Deceptive until you wrestle him!
Bo,Randy Lewis and Wade Schalles are the 3 most exciting wrstleds of all time says me.... Who else?😅
Very interesting to watch how a smaller wrestler handles a kid who is very big and muscular.
Brucki was 32-1 and he got abused by Nickel as if he were 1-32. Wow.
Great content man, keep up the good work.

This dude is going to smash Pereria.
Nothing like aatching them struggle before finally being forcedcto submit.
0:06 1:28 3:35 5:42
That pin set up was awesome!
it almost looked like some sort of fake attempt on the other leg
Yep this is at another fucking level
You can tell he keeps some moves secret from damn near anyone
How do they weigh the same? Bo obviously looks much smaller. Does he just have a higher muscle and bone density or what he doesn’t look taller?
Bo said he didn't cut weight his senior year while I guarantee Brucki walks around at like 210 or 220. Bo may not have a super impressive physique but he's clearly strong af.
Bo Nickal is a freak of nature. 45 seconds Brucki shoots on a brick wall. Nope!
Bo ...you beast.
Guys an absolute power house
So effortless lol
Yo the ref was checking what deodorant Bo was using. Up in there
Makes it look so easy
1:36 can anyone tell me why this doesn't count as a takedown?
Because Bo was still on top so it just him staying on top. If Brucki escape an got 1 point and Bo did that then he would have gotten 2 points for a takedown.
Scary cradle. No one escaping that.
He was like dad holding his son. "Alright wife, give baby his milky bottle and then it's nap time."
Brucki was robbed! 😅
Penn state has the best
glad he lost the fairy hair
They move so fast for their weight bracket. Crazy.
197 isnt insane heavy
Plus theyre ripped and lean af🤣
Bo nickel is a dangerous dude
Hi 👋
Brucki looks so physically mature it's hard to believe he's a true sophomore.
Brack Slaughter genetics
Brack Slaughter who knows could be roids or could be genetics
@@emilio7616 maybe both
He looked the exact same in high school.
@@emilio7616 "oOOoO bIG mUscLeS eQuAlS sTeRiODs"
Bo Nickal made that look so easy, against a 32-1 opponent!
They nerf him yet ?
Should come in the next update according to Activision.
TTundragrizzly how much for the season pass
@@a.marentes9337 more info will be in the supply drops.
It says in the Epic Games patch notes that they are taking his special attack and stamina away by 5%.
Bruh they lied, they nerfed his shots that's it
The Princeton guy looks like a FKN TANK 💥but nickal still pinned him
Nickal destroyed him, but then nickal got rag dolled like a baby in freestyle back In January
@@NAC4U It's amazing what happens when your coach can't bribe the drug testing system to not test their athletes.

Frfr jorge dude looks hugeee
@Jason
Yea nickal different breed
Nickal makes great wrestlers look not so good.
Bo also makes bad hairstyles look good.
Did he lose a bet?
And J'den made Bo look the same!
Made the #4 ranked guy in the country look like a jv wrestler
So we're all just going to ignore that they had an oldtimey analyst talking like he's dubbing movies from 1940s?
lol "The Penn State Slammer is the butter and eggs man here, puts the old slam a bama and down he goes to the floor, good night Nancy!"
@@moonpiespotlight4759 i swear wrestling would be 100x more popular if the commentary was like that 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 that’s a great point
We will truly miss watching Mr Nickal in the NCAA
Thomas Urben on to the world stage. I believe he will be better than Dake and Burroughs
For sure
@@TheDude-yw4kn you are a fucking idiot for thinking that
Well u can now watch him in the UFC, he just fought on the main card and made hype around him once again lol.
@@Omgiamsotriggered it will never match the magic of college wrestling
No one's going to say anything about the refs swiming moves toward the end. lol Killa officiating.

@Paul Walters As a wrestler, yes...he is extremely and deceivingly strong.
It’s called brains🙂
This guy in the UFC….definitely a career I’ll watch,for sure.😎
Absolute domination. Bo is truly a human wrecking ball
same takedown three times
I guess nothing beats speed in this sport and Nickal had it in spades.
Bo is perhaps the only blue-haired grappler in the country that I can´t whip.
Wtf was that 8 move set up
HOW is Bo SO good at that go behind? Like he’s skipping around the #4 kid in the country like it’s a middle school kid who tripped trying to hit a single. Just unreal.
Holy shit. Look how ripped Patrick is compared to bo. Skills over physique
wow that's a rare finish for a D1 197lbs match! Nickal is a beast!
Imagine those kids at 6:28 thinking there gonna meet no nickal 😂
I go to psu n I met him in sams club buying meat with his girl lol
01:37: Nickal *dips* Brucki.
No points.
05:30 something: Teeny tiny move & Brucki basically goes to the mat.
2 points.
Why?
(I'm literally asking)
Dolf Dervish because in the first one nickal started on top so it was just a mat return not a takedown
Dolf Dervish Because the first one is not a takedown, its a mat return. You get points everytime you do something in the match that results in you gaining complete control over your opponent, and since Nickal was already in control prior to the mat return, he didnt earn any points.
This guy is OP
Dude is jacked
His daughter did not randomly say Bo Nickal!!! Cool story though bro!
Haha!
That guys STRONG future hulk by the way
Brucki has such a weird stand up I’ve never seen one like it before
Aidan Oshea it’s called a pop up and it works pretty good but basically any stand up works good with the waist hand control
Det Yelram that how you should hit a stand up, literally explode up and really use back pressure to create space
@@firstnamelastname9215 Exactly
The thumbnail dident even have to watch but did anyway
Nickals snap, fuck
Stud
Why didn’t he fight hands when he was on his back
So fucking smoothe
Big muscles don’t win matches
1:36 howd he lift him with one hand like that
great ref and great wrestling
Bruchi looks so much bigger

Astounding stuff!
An example of speed and technique vs. strength and technique.
That announcer needs more Bo in his life...
Wooops. Make that 32 and 2. You go Bo! Making it look so easy!!
A D1 wrestler, a 4th seed in a national tourney taking half azz shots smh. Deserved to get pinned.
You are in no place to criticize. You will never sniff this high of competition.
K.L. agreed its easy to think you know what to do when youre watching
dumbass
Watch the sammy brooks matches and see what happens to someone who gets too aggressive with nickal.
Relax folks, I get it you have a man crush for Nickal... If you been around the sport long enough, you know what a half azz effort.looks like
the refs forehead was on nickals arm to look for that pin
Brucki did not fight that cradle. He had enough
They call him Bo Adderall for a reason.
Brucki is nice, but a little too stiff.
TF its only 2-1 ( o has 1:25 riding time) Brucki gave up at 3:20 no set up and a half azz shot... it was over then. Like he got paid to throw the match... just no heart in it

Some guys are just freaks of nature

Levels.
Bo went off!!
Brucki spends all of his time in the weight room. Unfortunately for him, his opponent spends all his time wrestling.
Ok boomer
"Here we go" hahaha like if it was a ride
Seriously, holy shit. That last pin, he was definitely thinking, "aw hell, here we go."
Did he just set up a body triangle
It's called the Peepee Exposer.
Make it to the UFC 155, and we will feed you to Arman for lunch buddy.
Wtf he fights at 185 ☠️
Why would he cut to 155?, he'd destroy them with respect
@@TopG20002 Your right, he couldnt make 155. He is prob gonna be a middleweight or light-heavy. We will see, he got a UFC contract I heard!

I love the way Bo mixes jiu jitsu in there with the wrestling I would love to see him compete in MMA
Logan Bos I was. Thinking same thing. Put him in there with Khabib or Maia and see how he does
Sean Redman Nickal is a really good wrestler don’t get me wrong but calm down with facing Khabib or Maia
Some Loser well he would kill khabid due to wieght. maia tho is differrent
