Just for the record, I don’t think it’s cheating. My only point was if he wrestles like that he should get called for stalling at a higher rate. I’m not even saying he should get called every time he does it. But if he does it without shooting from it (bc I understand it is part of his offense eventually) for extended times then call him. Bc when he doesn’t shoot from it it’s a defensive stance that clearly stalls the opponents offense and opportunities to score.
Are you talking about RBY? The comparison came from the fact RBY also wrestled on one knee, correct?
+1
I don’t recall RBY wrestling from a knee. Perhaps it happened from time to time, but AF seems to do it anytime he isn’t engaged in a tie. Do you have any specific matches in mind that I could watch?
I would move laterally and attack towards his right side (my left) with my head right into his, but I’m sure folks have tried this.
But it was never disputed AJ pushed the pace when he wrestled...Angelo just lays there and pretends to fake to show he's kinda doing something...
Angelo shot 5 times to Plott’s 0. Scored on 2 of them. The critcism should be placed more on Plott and not Angelo. A true freshman controlled the pace, the ties and the score.
It’s purely my opinion — Plott is an exceptional wrestler but I feel he is very limited which is evident since he follows Hamiti who is not. Plott has a sweet single to the left and a decent high crotch. I haven’t seen much more. I am more impressed with his mat wrestling than from neutral. If he and Ferrari were equal on their feet which they are not, then it would be advantage Plott all day long.
Shots from a knee were most of those. It wasn’t called but it’s hard to put pressure on a guy on a knee without giving up your ankle which is exactly what happened at least 2\3 times
Oh the Irony, you and your boys wanna scream for the hills when an "outsider" visits your cesspool to speak the truth yet here you are on the enemies page, soft skin disease?
no he's just running his mouth, as a mod he thinks he's a god now and likes to trash talk everyone that doesn't agree with his take
Anyone wrestling against a Ferrari will have to find a way to not let the knee position beat them.
You can say that after every loss. I thought AJ was stalling and I think Anthony is stalling, IMO. I get that it's not usually going to be called, but if he and AJ end up doing that all year next year and it never gets called I'll bet they change the rule and make it a point of emphasis sooner rather than later.
There is a counter and plan to beat that. It is obvious that wasn't executed.
I don't like the smell of this post Fartz. The down on one knee topic is an old one and it is not bullshit. And no, not everybody was not fine when AJ was doing it. I've made it very clear how I feel about any wrestler that uses this stalling tactic or any other stalling tactics for that matter - stalling is bad for the sport of wrestling. This has nothing to do with being butthurt about losing to Iowa or Ferrari for me. For now it is legal in folkstyle. I have hoped for years that they would change this rule. You do not see long periods of inaction in freestyle - and not allowing a wrestler to sit on a knee is one big reason why.
