#28	Tim Lee November 21 at 11:30am missing 25 pounds or so from leg missing........... so body of a 149 or 157 pounder maybe???? EXACTLY. So we create a disparity so that a handicapped wrestler can wrestle? Bull! It should be mandatory he stand upright so that a normal take down can be initiated! Feel bad for the guy who have a handicap going against a handicapped wrestler. reply
#27	Ohio November 21 at 10:43am How strong is Robles? I would like to talk to some of his opponents for there feedback. He lifts and returns obe to the mat with one leg. His arms and back are incredibley strong. Once he's in tils positions it's almost a done deal. We are talking Div. I college wrestling. Amazing. Way to adapt and overcome. I just hope he doesn't wreck his hip and knee with overuse/over compensation. Also when he is caught underneath a sprawl he doesn't have both knees to support or help with a base. The consequence is a lot of pressure on his low back. He is very creative with his adaptation. Smart and athletic. In interviews presents as a very classy young man. reply
#26	Team India November 21 at 9:50am he has a excellent tilt from a cherella he somersaults forward with his opponents arm between his opponents legs. remember to stick ur hand between his captured hand and his body. somersault forward and u got back points try it evreyone. reply
#25	Ok Fan November 20 at 11:21am Anthony Robles likes to figure 4 the head. reply
#24	Steven Wallace June 12 at 9:12pm anthony robles is a god wrestler and he is one of my favorite wrestlers but i think a good way to score on him would be to shoot when he first try to go to his knee reply
#23	Daniel Moreno April 23 at 9:05am This Guy is amazing never seen anything like it reply
#22	?? April 22 at 10:24am so does his coach still make him run in practice? lol reply
#21	Anonymous Coward March 24 at 9:18am crazy that when he shot in the kid couldnt funk to a leg so he didnt have much to work with... ha awesome reply
#20	T Goat March 24 at 3:41am This is amazing to watch. Wouldn't proper strategy be to run around behind him? Even if you don't get there, you tire out his arms. There used to be a rule that if you wrestled a BLIND wrestler, you were required to be in contact w/ him at all times. I wonder if that would apply to a one-legged wrestler. I mean, how much mobility can he have? reply
#19	Tagyourit March 24 at 1:00am If he had his leg he would be a natural 149--scary thing is he would even better..but it does ask the question does the lack of a leg actually make him more mobile? Especially on bottom? reply
#18	Anonymous Coward March 21 at 10:48am is stronger by a ton reply
#17	Anonymous Coward March 21 at 10:47am what is he suppose to do???? with his leg he would be 157 probably, so he is stronger than all of his opponents by a ton reply

#15	Richard Giggetts March 2 at 1:01am man thats a huge 125 pounder dude. reply
#14	Anonymous Coward February 11 at 10:01pm how and the hell can you even wrestle somebody like that. you cant even do nething, all you do is let him shoot on you and it cant be to hard for him to get in on a leg, when all hes does is run backwards. reply

#10	Anonymous Coward December 25, 2008 at 11:06pm I have wrestled an opponent who was missing a leg (from birth) in Robles same scenario. He was in my conference and I watched and competed against him many times over the years. I can say in my scenario that there were many matches he won in part because he had "differences" that had not been encountered before. Everyone he ever wrestled had two legs but almost none of his opponents had ever faced his unique scenario. Opponents would spend 80% of the time trying to figure out how to to attack a larger opponent who remains almost prone to the mat. The #1 glaring difference you face when wrestling an opponent with one leg is the superhuman grip and forearm strength of a larger man who uses those limbs disproportianately on a daily basis. I am not afraid to state that my opinion is that he has an advantage the first or second time you wrestle him, there is no way to prepare for those scenarios. I think the one-legged wrestler has a disadvantage after he faces the same competition multiple times and strategies are developed to attack and counter. Truly a unique scenario and truly Robles and those wrestling with these differences are special and inspiring individuals. reply
#9	Anonymous Coward December 24, 2008 at 5:33pm it is rediculous to say that robles has an advantage but... how do you score on him? reply

#4	Anonymous Coward December 19, 2008 at 11:29am O. Blanc is all american material. A. Robles should be on the podium this year. Robles looks physically strong for a 125 lber. reply
