Hot Take Yoel Bromero cant wrestle anymore

[JBJ was here]

Plenty of power still, but no knees left for Romero, and probably not much cardio. That'll let him wrestle straight bullrush takedowns against weak opposition, but won't necessarily let him do much against good wrestlers of appropriate size who have knees.

If it was that all your random gym bros would be tossing fools around at 50.

 

[AstralPanda]

He could always wrestle

His explosive style and body type made his wrestling a liability for 5 round fights.

 

[cburm]

UFC did him dirty yoel didn't deserve to be booted..

He should of Ben a UFC icon

 

[Lou Duva]

wrestling isnt that hard bud

 

[NicholasJBasile]

He looked great.

I thought Downey would easily win.

Turns out Yoel doesnt age.

You and me both -- Downey is an animal

Did Belal get 10-0'd too?

Yep. Against a 26-year old 2-time All-American. Of course Belal was just a high school wrestler who spent a little time wrestling at a D1 school.

I don't know freestyle rules enough to comment on this. All of the videos I watched show Romero schooling Downey on what's basically an American football drill where you try to drive your opponent outside the cones. He's certainly stronger, more explosive and more juiced than his opponent. If this were MMA, he'd be driving his opponents to the cage. That might impress the judges a little bit, but wouldn't be considered dominating them in the grappling department.

He had the guts to do it. I poke at Belal a little here and there, but I honestly think he's a good fighter and a decent person (as far as any of us know), and flat out admire his willingness to compete.

Stoked Romero ended up winning, though not without a degree of controversy. Didn't think he win like that though, thought he might have enough left to squeak by, if he won at all. That guy, roids or not, is the 1%, as far as athletes go

Ofc Yoel knows what he is doing but there's no denying the juice is plenty

I don't know much about wrestling either or about Pat Downey. Just thought it was hilarious seeing his comment

 

[DumpsterBaby]

Damn imagine if this is true....That means he is gonna live for eternity as a bald vampire

Still won’t learn English well.

 

[Slapjit]

We got BoMero happening soon

 

[josh345]

Juice boy roid raging here. The wrestling match was all tard strength takedowns against pat downey. Still impressive of course.

 

[Zanmato]

Not sure why but the Facebook algorithm presented me with Pat Downey posting that he was on the receiving end of two 4 point calls that were not legitimate point scoring techniques in wrestling. The comments underneath were in broad agreement but that he was getting handled anyway. Does anyone with more knowledge on the subject have any opinions on that claim?

 

[MMACro]

Legend,one of my fav fighters

 

[HHJ]

Let’s reschedule Romero vs Bo Nickal, which was originally planned for this event!

Bo Nickal: NAH I'M GOOD ACTUALLLY

I WILL JUST STICK W MMA

 

[Left Hook Lacy]

Thats insane. Isnt Downey somer super high level guy? Is he much smaller maybe?

 

[Elvis.]

Bo has enough problems with adding this guy to the mix

 

[Spath]

He looked great.

Yoel already reached max level, so he stopped leveling up




Not sure about the point scoring as I don’t really follow wrestling (real or fake), but I’d think the judges there know what they’re doing… Or are they as bad as in MMA? lol
