+ See More - See Less -A dominant wrestler on the collegiate level, Mocco will make his
Olympic debut in Beijing. A freestyle heavyweight (120kg/264.5 lbs),
Mocco had placed runner-up at the U.S. World Team Trials each of the
past three years, and in 2004, he placed third in the U.S. Olympic
Team Trials. This powerhouse heavyweight does have plenty of
international experience under his belt and looks to place high at
the Olympic games.
At 2:57, the guy drilling with Jackson is John Mesenbrink, Askren's high school coach.
that weights class is STACKED internationally
I believe we will surprise some people.
I believe Ben Askren is our only legitimate chance to medal and the guys on the bubble would include Henry Cejudo, Doug Schwab who seems to be coming into his own, and Steve The Monster Mocco. The Russians have a scary team in my opinion and Iran is always right there at the top, both very deep teams with a boatload of experience at this level. Therefore, if we have a GREAT week at the Games, I believe we can walk away with no more than 4 medals, NO GOLDS. Just my opinion, let the mudslinging begin.
