Sanderson to Compete in WTT

Flo Wrestling 2 years ago

Flowrestling has received word from Al Bevilacqua that Cael Sanderson will be competing in the World Team Trials on June 10, 11. This will be the second time Cael has competed since he won a gold medal in the 2004 Olympic Games. He wrestled at the Northeast Regional and won convincingly and was of course head coach of the NCAA championship team Penn State.

How do you think he will do in the trials and if he wins how to you think he will fare against the international competition?

Sanderson vs. Herbert who is going to win? I don't really know, but I bet it goes 3 periods in each match, and maybe it will take 3 bouts.

That is one thing I do not miss on FLO. The lack of LIMarty's presence on this site is refreshing. Thank God him and FLO butted heads and had a falling out. It was only a matter of time until FLO could not stand his BS.

I hear LIMarty is coming out of retirement as well.

I know if he does step on the mat it will be a case of "Man among young man", too much horsepower. Cael already knows this. therefore "No" he will not go.

We'll see (I hope) but to insinuate that Max Askren is ANYWHERE near Sanderson is unrealistic and irresponsible. Cael is not 45 he is 31 he will tear Askren apart. Herbert has shown that if you stop his single leg he is stagnant on offense. NOONE at this weight has the offense Cael does. You forget who this man is. Even if he has 1/2 the offense he had in 2004 he has twice what anyone else in the weight has to offer. Oh and the gas tank comments??? When are you morons going to realize that a gastank is really not that important in this era of freestyle. Simply not that big of a factor when you wrestle for 2 minutes sit for 30-45 seconds and breath and then wrestle for 2 more minutes. Technical flurries and position is the key. Cael wins with a grin.

"Flowresting.org. This is a plea.

Please stick to uploading videos for viewer's sake, and stop making all these forum topics. It eventually just turns into a bunch of uneducated (Wrestling-wise) idiots shouting their stupid opinions, and it really makes me doubt the human race as a whole.

That is what a forum is about, OPINIONS. There are a lot of other things that you can do on Flowrestling other than reading the forums. If your going to get on here and just complain then , JUST DON'T GET ON HERE!

max all the way.he wil scramble out of the ankle pick like its his job.

It has been over two months since the Northeast Regional in Brockport, not two weeks like stated. Cael had plenty of time to get in shape for WTT. And add in the fact that you don't need to have great conditioning to win in freestyle nowadays, Cael in my opinion will win this tournament with ease if participates.

Cael was gassing during the last tournament. herbert has a tank. askren has a tank. its only been a coule weeks since then. wrestling simulations is different then an actual match. cael coached varner so he knows where hes good and strong. a teacher like cael is always gonna be up one or ten on a student. is write of a world silver medalist, 2 time us open champ, 2 time ncaa champ, 4 time aa in the prime of his career is pretty dumb.

BobbyRicigliano 2 years ago

hope he does well. dont think hell make it. if he gets past askren (doubtful) hell have herbert to deal with. no way
I thought people were just being obnoxious thus my sarcastic post. If people don't actually think Cael is a heavy favorite at this weight then they haven't been paying attention. He has consistently beaten world team members Les Sigman and Jake Varner in simulation matches, and Varner is arguably top 5 in the world right now up a weight class. Cael easily teched the 3rd place finisher at US Open up a weight class, Max Askren is a freestyle novice who is not in the same league. Herbert can hopefully give him a competitive and exciting match if he wrestles like he did at '09 Worlds, but he's been very inconsistent since then.

...Are you suggesting I used a thesaurus for the word defy?? You sir bring shame to Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski and true dudes the world over. Either of you care to actually contribute something about Cael or just yell empty insults like adolescents?

Jahwon Akui 2 years ago

nobody really thoughttt taylor would lose to jenkins and alot of people thought the silver medalist herbert would beat Max so i think its fair to say Max will a shot a beating cael even tho Cael is the fosure favorite hear but im taking Max (if he can get threw the field) in a huge upset over Cael

bobby boy you are a turd. Quit using the thesaurus and trying to look smart. "I defy anyone to type it without an asterisk."

BobbyRicigliano 2 years ago

Haha, must be low-grade censorship. I have successfully typed circ*mstance multiple times, I defy anyone to type it without an asterisk. In order to keep this post relevant, one of the (many) things that separates Cael from this pack of American wrestlers is his incredible footwork. Cael is constantly in motion, but none of it is excess, it's to keep his opponent responding to his movement so that he can dictate the pace of the match. A 2x World champ like Sajidov maintained such phenomenal positioning that he still managed to avoid Cael's trademark ankle pick - that's an anomalous case. The Northeast Regionals didn't have any notable competition, but it did show that his footwork is just as active if not more so than back in 2004.

BobbyRicigliano 2 years ago

After Max Askren techs Cael 6-0,7-0 without trying then all you Cael Sanderson fans can eat turds!!!!!! In the interest of full disclosure, I'm being 100% sarcastic and I'm sure the others are just trying to get your goad with the absurd proposition that freestyle novice Askren beats Cael let alone easily. Vehemently defending Cael's abilities in this cirstance makes you look just about as dumb as them.

Anonymous Coward 2 years ago

Anyone that thinks Max Askren will be Cael is SMOKING CRACK!!! Max is good, however no where close to the level of Cael. I watched Cael's matches from the Northeast regional and even though the quality of opponents are not what they are going to be this weekend it didn't even look like he was trying. He is always in shape and battle tested based on his experience. He will DOMINATE THIS WEEKEND and then all of you Max Askren fans can eat turds!!!!!

seriously guys? you are a bunc 2 years ago

of tards. Askren couldn't hang with Cael. Cael is the Greatest American Wrestler ever period. The only person in the weight class that could give cael a match would be herbert. He looks big, but probably will cut the weight just fine. For those of you that think he will walk thru the worlds or cruise to an olympic title-you should be riding the short bus. No American wrestler will ever cruise thru the worlds or the olympics. If he gets a good draw, feels well, and wrestles great he could win worlds or the olympics. But cmon guys askren won't beat him, and when he wins the wtt, worlds will not be a cakewalk for him. He won't be able to hit his ankle pick on those elite guys-watch his olympic finals match. That scoring of 2 and 2 could have gone in Moon's favor.

Justin Bieber could beat Cael.
