"I said I think it's a "winnable" match for Stoll. Kyle Snyder, the friggin' Olympic Champion, is obviously the favorite. I just happen to think Stoll is a bad match up for him and think he'll give Snyder a helluva match with a chance to pull off the W."

What is wrong with this statement made 24 Hr ago?
 
Snyder is a 2015 UWW world champion - but he is not a " friggin' Olympic Champion." To date Snyder has never participated in an Olympics.

As Erie pointed out, first Snyder is not yet an Olympic champ.
Second, the Iowa heavy is not a bad match for Snyder. The Iowa kid pushes in, but his offense (from what I have seen, 4 matches) is predicated on reacting to others' movements or pushing off the mat for stall calls. The kid is a horse and does move well after slamming his weight down onto an opponent. However, a really strong, athletic opponent with way above average shots and finishes probably chews this kid up. Which is what Snyder will do.

Gwiz took Stoll apart and Snyder's style/athleticism is a lot closer to Gwiz then the slow moving giants that Stoll has been getting his wins against. Heck, he was lost against the smaller Maryland guy before he hurt him.
 
It's not Wildturk pushing this theory, it's Gobblin I believe. Big things wrong with the OP.
 
Yawn. Surely nobody has ever said anything as silly on our boards. Saner heads will prevail, either directly or by ignoring it, either way no need to go over there and correct it for them.
 
The "smaller Maryland guy" -- you mean the 6' 9" Dawson Peck? A lot of dancing bears are lost against him.

Gobblin was just sticking his neck out with a very bold prediction. He has earned that right imo. He thinks the size/style will present problems for Snyder. I hope he's right, but don't share his positive outlook just yet. Stoll is getting very good very quickly.
 
Lyco my dear friend, we were at the World Championships together!! I know we were drinking profusely but one should not confuse the World's with the Olympic's. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!!!!!

Tiger, you were agreeing with me, right?
 
This thread is even funnier to me this morning. Lyco you hungover bud?

...and I see you at least used an "r" in the word "thread" Turk!!! Me thinks the vodka for breakfast diet is working for Lyco.
 
Vodka for breakfast? In a bloody Mary you bet! 2 pickles, no olives, spicy with a dash of horseradish. Worstershire, celery salt, course black pepper, Touch of A.1. Steaksauce. Yum!

You are correct WildTurk I did indeed attribute the quote to you incorrectly and am sorry. I believe is was Gobblin.

Absolutely agreeing with you. Snyder is a complete matchup nightmare for Stoll, not the other way around. Unsure how anyone could think different after what Gwiz did to him.

I must be confused from all the time spent at the bar before and after the sessions. Was a great experience with good friends.
