Whew. May not be "over" but at least we know he's in a state worthy of release from a Hungarian Hospital (that sounds like a joke, but wasn't meant to be).
U23s Thread
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
Bo will be on Mat B... has a few matches ahead of him to start.
Second that. I believe in the power of prayers and I'll keep them coming.

Hallelujah, and a huge thank you to the usually very tight lipped PSU wrestling!!!! There was the whole of BWI holding vigil. Here's to a speedy recovery, and thanks to God for our prayers answered.
Once again I was wrong. Not hours, not days, but minutes.
Think there are still 3 matches ahead of him on mat B
Matt B. once beat Bo in a tournament. Revenge time!
Mat B also beat Nico in the room once. We need to put a full court press on Mat B.
I think he's used up all his eligibility. I see him sometimes with his family where I work, so I can ask him--though I definitely don't want him to slap a collar tie on my, so . . .
Bo is officially in the hole!
Perhaps relative freestyle novice Richie Lewis winning a U23 World title before achieving NCAA D1 AA status took some of the shine off the apple....
Well Nomad from Flo did say if Bo wins he will qualify for Olympic team trials. I did read someone else post that, I think in a different thread, but not sure.
Rutgers treated it like he defeated Karelin at Yarygin
So they told it from Lewis' perspective?
Time to hang a new banner in the Rutgres gym

The obligatory coach back crack!! I gave my sons a bunch in youth tourneys!
Further evidence that Cael CAN coach.
Zubairov likes his hands to the face. Can he make it to the end w/o being DQ'd? He's losing to Shahbazigazv 0-1 after 1.
Made it till the end, but loses 5-1 (so the Iranian Bo tech'd in the 1st round wins bronze)--not very different than DT's Budapest experience.
Now, the 86kg medals, then showtime!

Honestly - I was thinking that. Lewis won a world gold at U23 but didn't AA at NCAA 165.
Granted, it is Folk vs Free and 165 was DEEP that year but I would be lying if I said that didn't make me think U23 competition wasn't anything worthwhile and all the best wrestlers go from Junior to Senior and skip that level all together.
For comparison, Mekhi Lewis was a Junior Gold Medalist and his results at NCAAs a few months later spoke for itself.
It's Bo Time!
Bo Nickal, U23 World Champ
I'd venture to guess, OW too.
- 4:54 Passivity on Tcakulov
- 4:34 Bo attacks, gets a step out 1-0
- Bo with lots of strong snaps, may pay dividends.
- 3:16 Lefty Hi-C, and Bo fights for the T2 3-0
- 2:30--Bo stops a shot cold w/ underhooks.
- 2:11 Ankle Pick. 5-0
- 1:50 Another Cael Special. 7-0
- 0:45 Sick duck by Tcakulov. 7-2
- 0:15 Crap, work called and I looked away. it's 11-2 now, and Russia is challenging
- Call upheld (whatever it was), and that, gents, is IT! 12-2 TF
