The Match That Made Austin Desanto Cry

RBY was clearly employing a stall ride. 🤣 Racoon tears.
Oh man, what a classic fight! I grew up watching Sugar Ray Leonard. One of my all-time favorite boxers. And I know you were comparing ADS to Duran here, but RBY’s speed, quickness, footwork, finesse, and fluidity do remind me of Sugar Ray.
Man I miss those days of boxing. Grew up on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Friday night fights and the championship fights on HBO and Showtime.
Yeah, between Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Sugar Ray, you just didn't get much better around the same weight. Sugar Ray was my favorite of the bunch (and he did/does remind you a bit of RBY), but they were all supremely talented boxers.
What we don't see, is crazy Tom grabbing his knee and twisting it then pointing at Cael. I kid, I kid
I would pay big money to watch him during the first Dean vs Warner match as the bow and arrow was applied.
If I’m not mistaken but wrestling is a potentially dangerous sport with a good chance of injury , even though they try to prevent injuries .
Or could this revised assessment be what happened??? 🤔
😊
"Excuses are for wusses"... except for the endless excuses spewed by a significant portion of HR posters.
Loved the match. How about posting Weeping Warner?!
The dull voice, sounding as if we are about to hear an analysis of the Zapruder film, followed by “the time Austin Desanto” cried is outstanding comedy.
I actually heard a rumor, and I won’t tell you who put me on to this. RBY had plans of actually ripping off Desanto’s leg from the knee down, grabbing the mic, holding it over his head, pointing at the Iowa bench, and cutting a WWF promo threatening to do the same to Spencer if he ever got over mono or some other sickness and dared to go to 133.
clearly the knee got tweaked the first time RBY pulled the foot out so he could cradle. Nothing illegal about it. Either ADS had an existing knee issue or that 'tweaked' it. The second time was it... By stopping the action the inj def was appropriate
I know, another capt Obvious moment here (for some of you
)

I sometimes read the HR posts for comic relief. The one about who would they rather have now, ADS or RBY is typical gold. Of course the majority want ADS because of his exciting matches and not multiple national championships. I’m sure these are the same people who got participation trophies and were happy about it. Of course, when someone tries to talk rational, they immediately bring up their go to Sandusky comments. That’s when I think even they know they lost any type of credibility or argument.
I recall that, in the full replay of that match with AD walking off the mat as RBY's hand gets raised, AD forgot to keep limping.
in all fairness, he did limp twice when he first got up......two-limp minimum in CHA that night
No it's bar arm, not a chicken wing. 😝🤣
It always amuses me when they cry about his bar being called PD. It's a chicken wing and illegal. Most knowledgeable fan base my butt.😇
The second cradle, there was no pulling of the leg or any awkward positioning of the knee whatsoever- ADS’s knee was too close to his head and the cradle was right there. Austin knew the match was over and he broke.clearly the knee got tweaked the first time RBY pulled the foot out so he could cradle. Nothing illegal about it.

IIRC, even Tom Brands after that match basically admitted that Austin was not actually injured, but was “freaked out” and folded mentally because he was not used to being put in that position.
Basically he was spooked but not actually injured. Straight from the coach’s mouth.

You might be right.
You should still list number 5) he cried "no Mas, no mas" and quit.
Whatever happened it scared the hell out of ADS. Moving forward he never took an angle off any shots against RBY. He would shoot and as still and quiet as a mouse would shelter in place.

If you watch after the match, ADS is telling Brands “I can’t go” and Brands isn’t remotely sympathetic. You can lip read him asking “Are you quitting?” before telling the trainer to not help ADS and said “Stay back, let him quit” then he pointed at ADS while saying something to Terry who didn’t seem happy either.
Does Terry ever look happy? Even after Clark won his national title and Terry is begging Clark to be part of Clark's special moment with his "toss me" request Terry looked miserable.
I actually have exclusive of a locker room interview with Desanto after the match. This is the first I have shared this.
Reporter: Austin, what happened out there tonight?
Desanto: RB

You guys are harsh. It was several years ago and Desanto never beat RBY again. Let it go. Mock HR’s choice to re-choose AD all you want, but imo, still ragging on DS for panicking isn’t a good look. Now his attempting to hurt people, or threatening media members, that’s still fair game 😉
That’s a dirt ball move on your part.I actually have exclusive of a locker room interview with Desanto after the match. This is the first I have shared this.

I freakin’ love it!!!
Here you go, the Dean vs Warner match starts at 50:00, to cut to the chase and the ensuing screaming, go to 1:00:20.
I believe it is fair game. GIA HR brought it up and stated how RBY intentionally tried to hurt DeSanto, and would do the same if Spencer wrestled up. This gives evidence that is BS.
Nope, I am fine. I don’t think I posted anything other than it is fair game.
NOW I KNOW what DT should have been doing that night Bubba caught him in that cradle!
