watching jason welch is so much more fun than watching winston. winston is like watching a robot that does everything by the book jason welch does moves that amaze people and are insane
Hey FAN, Winston wrestles like Poeta. And Welch didn't do so great against that style, actually he lost by 14. Winston and Poeta would have been a better match.
Winston and Welch - Winston is exactly the type of wrestler that Welch performs well against. He is strong but not as quick. So Winston has improved since his soph year?? Don't you think that Welch has improved as well? FYI - In his jr. season, Welch wrestled in a tournament up a weight class (171) and faced both the defending state champ at 171 and the guy that would win the state championship that year in that class. Welch beat both of them by big margins as he normally does even when he was much lighter in bodyweight. I think the better competitor for Welch would be Howe....Now THAT would be a match to watch!
I think Winston and Welch would be a good match. The only reason I think it will be close is because Winston has size on Welch. Welch should be a 149 in college, not a 157 or 165. He cuts little to no weight for his weight at 160. I do believe that Winston can beat Welch, just not right now.
fan, winston and welch are neck in neck. If you watch a bunch of both of their matches you'd see that winston has exactly the tools to give welch trouble, and vice versa. Also, saying that they wrestled two years ago means nothing. Having watched winston in every state tournament he's been in, it's day and night between his soph. year and this year, and he won Fargo this past summer, nobody even touched him. Welch is by no means in a "league of his own."
Welch took 6th at Midlands - Very impressive for a 17 year old! Winston just lost in the wrestlebacks at Fila to Luke Manuel who was beaten by Welch in the Cal State finals 2 years ago. This coupled with the fact that Welch already beat Winston 2 years ago at Fargo is a good indication that Welch is in a class all by himself and deserves his number 1 ranking.
back to the comments about welch being at the midlands tournament i believe that he got his stomped on by everybody and i dont think that would have ever happened if winston was there hes to powerful to get his pounded like welch
how would you know unless they met and wrestled.Winston went undefeated in NJ.He would have been a 4 time state champ if he didnt get injured Frosh year.He's a tough kid.1 of the top wrestlers in the country.NJ has tremendous wrestling talent at the HS level.Being a state champ in NJ means alot.Especially to college recruiters.Plus having a NCAA champ as coach has been good for all Jackson wrestlers including Winston.
I agree. NJ is such a big headed State. They are in fact one of the toughest States out there. But just because you're a State Champ from there doesn't mean that you're some god. And too add to that Best Coast, Winston has even lost this year. To Cumberly of Ohio. Welch hasn't even been CLOSE to loosing this year, I would know, I think I was one of his closer matches this year when I lost to him 19-11 at Reno TOC.
Dudes- Wake up! While Winston was beating up on high school KIDS, Welch was thumping MEN at the MIDLANDS college tourney as the only high schooler invited. He took down NCAA #1 ranked POETA. R U kidding? He might not pin or tech Winston, but he would major him for sure. NO COMPARISON.
Cubberly tore winston up, the score didnt show the match at super 32, cubbs controled the match, winston is tough, but deffinantely not the top 160 pounder in the natino
There is no 160lber in the country that can beat Andrew Howe from Indiana. I travel the country wacthing the best high schoolers and this kid is the real deal. Built for the big 10. Sure wish he was coming to Iowa next year.
Get your facts straight. Winston wrestled Mendito with a 102 fever and was out of school the previous 2 days. He broke his nose at the All Star and if became infected. He was sick as a dog. I was there. He would crush Welch who is not nearly as strong and almosgot decked in the Calf finals.
about the moves im sry i used to wrestle for ten years did not do that great lsast yeaar when i graduatd and jouinior year i did not wrestle districts and so forth do to injurys both years now its been my experince and wrestling is in my family and i have wrestled great kids and watched alot of matchs over my life now you dont need a lot of moves or fancey ones all you need is a few that you can perfect and manipulate other wrestlers intoyou dont see kids doing flying hook nose cradles from mongolia (you problay dont know wat dat is its a expression my coach for ten years said all the time me and some other guys put a move to it though) but if you can perfect a few moves n make them work why use anything else but your bread n butter y would u use high risk moves( now i did all the time but dat is how i was life on the edge was my motto) or moves you are not confortable with when wat ya got works now i dont know ne of these kids im not from there area either but i am form nj n this kid looks good so stop bashing and untill they meet youll never know (also im not trying to bash i belive it was welsch im just saying dont be so harsh you dont know untill they meet and it is proven good luck to all wrestlers in this torny and all others around the nation
no just reporting what the asbury park press said. i think that was amazing to put his record on the line against one of the best in the state with a high fevor. the young man is tremendous.
Robert did you check his temp before the match? On another note when winston goes against another great wrestler he only has couple of moves he tries over and over. Hes great wrestler but Jason Welch is just better
just bring welch to nationals im tired of hearing this scott would beat him hands down .Why do you think he's going to another tourn .Because he cant beat scott. Unless he is going and does not want scotts mind set to set in .
Winston lost last year at the war at the shore and he lost to an Ohio kid at the Super 32 this year and he won a nail biter at the Beast. He is absolutely awesome, but on a national level he is probably around 5th which means he is sick good. Just think, Meneditto lost to him 3-2 in OT and Alex Meade of Delaware kicked Meneditto's a$$. Also, Winston did not wrestle districts, regionals and or states his freshman year where he was bound to lose at least 3 matches that year. I love Winston, he is what class and humbleness is all about. It's just the media hype that brings people to come out and put things a little bit more back to reality.
Welch isnt going to senior nationals because he was invited to the Dapper Dan Tourney. And Winston didnt get the invite.
