How do you guys feel about Gross-RBY? Before the Desanto match, I would say Gross convincingly because of RBY's struggles underneath guys like Lizak and Erneste last year, but now I think RBY's lateral quickness might give Gross some major issues, especially since Gross doesn't have as much pop this year.

Gross seems to have some length. Will be fun

 

[District four]

I'm calling a cradle right now by rby he seems to have worked hard on that move I can see him getting it tonight

 

[RandyL]

[tombrosious]

Yes, hard to believe.

Gross is a huge talent, is very experienced, has great coaching and is majoring everyone since the first Desanto loss. RBY is on a roll but I have to list him as at least a slight underdog in all honesty. A minor decision against will still be a big confidence builder and keep him in play for the conversation as a NC, if he somehow pulls it off i will be ecstatic and he then becomes one of the favorites.

Wick will also present a style and body/length challenge for Cenzo but I see him controlling the match and winning comfortably maybe 3-5 points.

No Verge

Gross has in the past won beaten some top wrestlers with one big move where he was not the better wrestler -- Rivera and Wilson feet to back, Micic with a tilt. It wouldn't be s terrible surprise if this happened again tonight.

OTOH, RBY will be the quickest wrestler Gross has faced in a long time.

Should be a great match tonight, and maybe also 2x in March.

Woo hoo

 

[LemonPie]

Worst match I've ever seen RBY wrestle was at nationals last year against Erneste-- who was like a poor man's Gross. But that was a 7/8 match and Im still feeling good about this matchup!

Dont be jinxing RBY!

 

[86PSUPaul]

I have no idea what stalling is anymore....

i thought Brandon was battling to get up, and he gets hit with stalling, of course top wasn’t really doing anything to turn him either...

 

[psualt]

Nice claw ride. Clearly not working for the turn

Where are you Tom?

 

[dunkej01]

This JD honey has me thinking I would give my left nut for a stud 125... .

[86PSUPaul]

And about ten seconds in Brandon takes one step back and fans are yelling stalling.

 

[pabison]

All Barnett is doing is hanging on. Why no stall call?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

125: Brandon Meredith vs. Eric Barnett

Per 1
Barnett working double under hooks early, but nothing on the trips or anything else. Nothing thru 1. Barnett shoots from way outside, sprawl by Meredith, nothing. Meredith reaches, nothing. Barnett reaches again, blocked. Barnett shoots a single, nothing. Blood stoppage with 25 sec left for Meredith. Not a surprise, as the nose plug he had in got knocked out about 10 -15 sec before the stoppage. Barnett sort of shoots, blocked. End

Per 2
Meredith takes down. Stall warning on Meredith. Blood stoppage for Meredith with 1:05 left. Barnett throws in a leg, but then loses it. Meredith worked up, back down, works back down, and tripped back down. Back up again. End A rideout. RT @ 2 min for Barnett

Per 3
Barnett takes bottom. Hehits a roll, nearly got a reversal, but just an esc. Then Barnett gets a single, Meredith fights it off a bit, but eventually gives up the TD, 0-3. RT is locked for Barnett. 1 min left. Stoppage with 16 sec left for stalemate. Meredith to his feet, but can't get away. End. With 3:15 in RT, it's a 0-4 DEC for Barnett

3-0, Wisky

 

[expectingtofly]

What would a Meredith-Howard match look like right now. 3-2 Howard?

 

[SRATH]

Wiscy coaches begging for stalling, pathetic.

 

[WildTurk]

133 off to a great start!

 

[dunkej01]

Holy freaking scramble

 

[Crunched]

RBY looking good .. loving these scrambles!

 

[Treelion66]

RBY is slick!!

 

[Chainsawcity]

Hound doggie, Gross vs RBY, this is gonna be one of the matches to pay admission for!

 

[dunkej01]

This is big because the 4NF wipes the 2 R away and RBY goes down...huge confirmation for the good guys

 

[El-Jefe]

 

[Lovethissport]

Can’t watch...what is hapening

 

[SUPERTODD]

What a freaking match! Damn these guys are wrestling at a crazy high level.
