Love watching Bockman wrestle so that would be fun. Seeing Bastida wreck Kueter would be great. Somehow seeing Riggins beat Brands would maybe be the icing on the cake. Lots of good ones
CyHawk Wrestling Week Discussion
- Thread starter TheJackWePack5
- Start date
I think 12-19 is being generous or 13-19. I think it could end up being 9-22 or 10-22. So in that case I have us covering in all scenarios.
Paniro is wrestling.
125 - ISU slight favorite
133 - Toss up
141 - Toss up
149 - Toss up
157 - Iowa slight favorite
165 - Iowa favorite
174 - Iowa favorite
184 - Toss up
197 - Iowa slight favorite
HWT - Iowa State favorite
125 - Terukina dec Peterson 3-0 ISU
I don't know what to expect here, haven't seen Peterson down at 125 and its hard to know what version of Kysen we are going to get. Still, ISU is the favorite here. Kysen has some really nice wins in his career, lets hope we get the good Terukina.
133- Frost dec Ayala 6-0 ISU
I think Ayala is too small for 133. Frost is hard to finish on, I like those two things for ISU. Frost has a great gas tank, assuming weight is no longer an issue, I think that helps mitigate one of Drake's best asset's (his own gas tank). I like Frost here, although last weeks dual match was not particularly inspiring out of Frost.
141- Redding dec Block 9-0 ISU
Guessing it will be Redding though I have no inside info here. Block is pulling a lot of weight and will be a lot bigger than Redding. People tend to forget that Redding was a R12 guy a couple of years ago, I don't always think he gets the respect he deserves. I think he gets it done here.
149 - Parco dec Echemendia 9-3 ISU
Really waivered on whom to pick here, going Parco because he has looked so good this year. Parco is good in all positions and I think will be able to negate some of the positions where anthony is really good, particularly upper body in neutral. I think you have to give Parco the edge on the mat. I know he has the horsepower for 149 but I will not be surprised if we see AE go down to 141 after christmas.
157 - Teemer dec PJ 9-6 ISU
I see this as a one exchange match. Favor Teemer due to PJ change in weight +Teemer has looked nails this year. PJ was not super impressive at GV. Both guys wrestle more close matches than they should, This will likely be a 4-1 or 4-2 final score. Certainly a winnable match, just need to win the exchange or two that decide it.
165 - Caliendo Major Dec Gaitan 10-9 Iowa
Caliendo is Iowa's best wrestler in my opinion. He's a throwback Iowa wrestler who just keeps coming. Gaitan missed time + down a weight is a bad combination against a guy like that.
174 - Brands dec Riggins 13-9 Iowa
Keeping this to a decision as there is familiarity there and Brands has played a lot of patty cake in his matches this year. I think it will be close but I don't know how riggins is going to score.
184 - Bockman dec Arnold 13-12 Iowa
Upset special! I like what I've seen from Bockman this year. These guys are built similar and both hold extremely good position. I think it's a close match either way.
197 - Buchanan dec Carroll 16-12 Iowa
Think this will be a challenge for Carroll - he has limited Folkstyle experience and Buchanan is extremely savvy and good on the mat. Excited to see how CC stacks up regardless.
Hwt - Bastida dec Kueter 16-15 Iowa
Hope yonger is good to go. If so I think he wins comfortably. Kueter out-athletics a lot of heavyweights and Yonger is simply a lot better at doing that than BK is.
Overall should be a great dual with a lot of great matches. Narrow path to victory for the Cyclones. Will learn a lot about where this squad is at.

Who know with MJ. Could get majored or have a thrilling win. He's the biggest wildcard on the team
I think E Frost, Redding, Ech, Bockman, Carroll, Yonger definitely go.
I think Paniro probably goes.
I am not sure on 125, 165, and 174. Guessing Terukina, Euton and Riggins

I would love this, but I think it is a bit too optimistic. March might be different…
Totally guessing here, but I don’t think he wrestles if the dual is decided.
Just a few uneducated opinions based on the discussion here:
* I hope we see Meza. I just have absolutely no confidence in KT, sorry dude, prove me wrong.
* Similar, but slightly lesser feeling about 141. Redding could squeak out a win or get pinned. Would rather see JFrost if he's healthy.
* Teemer has looked great this year (and the end of last year), but don't forget that Cody trucked him last year. If PJ is healthy, he absolutely has a shot.
* I also agree that Caliendo is a stud, but also don't forget that he was getting pounded by Hunter Garvin until Garvin gassed. Granted, part of that was MC's gas tank, but I don't think this is automatic bonus points for the Hawks.
* Similar to above at 197. If CC can hang for 3 periods, he's as talented as SB.
* I'm afraid the duel may be out of reach and we won't see YB. If that's the case, it's the right move...unfortunately.

As an aside, does anyone know if the PPV will be available on replay or to 'start from the beginning' after it's in progress? I will be traveling and likely won't be able to catch it from the very start. Website does not seem to indicate one way or the other.
It all depends on how 125-149 go. This is either a super close match coming down to bonus points potentially or a Iowa beatdown. Still on the fence if I should buy the BTN+ match or just listen on Varsity Network
