GR8 wrestler........ Truth is Fix went backwards with his wrestling at OSU under Smith...... used to be a scoring machine..... now its only counter be defensive and move backwards all 3
Yeah it's sad. I remember watching his Fargo/Ironman matches in high school and the guy was a scoring threat at any position. Now he's muted offensively.
tbf he still was a scoring machine...if his opponent wasn't as good as him. In the close matchups or just against a good opponent he'd shut it down. One of the more frustrating wrestlers I've seen.
I am a Hawkeye and I don't begrudge Gilman for moving to PA. I will always like the classy Thomas, and I will always enjoy watching him wrestle. He trains hard as nails, nobody can buy that kind of stamina. He wrestles every second of his matches, and keeps it classy.
I would love to see him in mma. His style would work better for it. I feel he’s just a tad slow against these world level guys like Gilman. Not that he can’t beat them I just feel he’s a power type build that would work well with mma ground and pound or bjj
@@vigilr6595 realistically he would be able to dominate to an extent purely because most mma guys wrestling ain’t that good but to be a champ yeah he would 100% have to change.
@@DawsonFisher-we7qm BULLSHIT !!!! He gets to the finals in the NCAAs 4 times & doesn’t score an offense point ! How’s what im saying BS ? Your ignorant! What I’m saying is TRUTH ! He can’t do crap against the TOP wrestlers
If Fix were a 4x NCAA champion we wouldn't be telling him to retire. He'd be winning on an elite level. I love Fix. I've followed his career. He is one of the greatest but , he has never been able to win against the best of the best. He has a lot to offer probably as a coach but probably not on the mat anymore. Always a bridesmaid never a bride. But no disrespect is meant by any of us. He just doesn't have what it takes at this level to be the best.
He’s beaten top level guys in freestyle. He’s beaten Gilman before just beat suriano beat desanto multiple times. He realistically beat suriano in the finals but refs gifted that win to suriano with head gear pull and stalling with double boots in
@@michaelmiller4777 I said realistically. Sure suriano maybe could have won later on in overtime but Fix did get robbed with the grabbed headgear and stall call for no reason on top. Ive seen some bad reffing but ignoring the headgear pull is insane to me
