Henry Cejudo : Speakers & Interviews

I'm Ben Ashmore Jr., Ben Ashmore's gay love child from adoption pre-anti gay marriage laws.. and ii took after my dad- I'm a fellow gay, as well!

to the haters henry is gettin some bejinj with his gold metal around his neck were are u coach chavez borman jr

Yeah, cuz I'm sure Don has accompished sooo much. Didnt you get cut from the JV team? Oh yeah , there was the year you placed 5th out 6 kids at an elementary takedown tournament. Wow Don, we are all eagerly awaiting your gold medal match at the 2012 Olympic games in London. Why don't you share your wrestling pedigree? That's right, you don't have one. Just keep bashing people from behind a computer screen as you daydream of one day reaching maturity.

Cejudo just won the gold medal. I don't know how him being a Mexican-American gets so many people pist off? He just won our country a olympic gold medal in great style and all of us should be proud.

All quiet on the racist front....

Cejudo was awesome. His conditioning and mental toughness was obvious, as was his will and technique. His single is quick as hell and the guy is very confident. Way to represent!!! Can't wait for Schwab tonight.

What does everyone have to say now?

You are a tough guy. Share the focus with the others. I know that gives the others confidence . You guys worked so hard during camp.nobody in the world worked as hard.

henry cejudo is the greatest wrestler of all time, gable and the rest i know they were great, but henry raised the bar, they dont call him the wiz kid for nothing

i was watching him on the olympics last night. but what makes me more excited is that he just improved morale for Schwab, Askren, Hrovat, Cormier and Mocco

Congrats Henry!!! Way to represent the U S.

I hope NBC primetime coverage gives Henry some well-deserved air time tonight. I can't help but think back on the brutal Brands' conditioning sessions and the mountain sprints Henry was doing, as seen in the Flowrestling videos, and how he turned it on in the 3rd periods of his matches. Congrats to Henry.

Hey ALL THOSE POEPLE OUT THERE THAT WERE TALKING DOWN HENRY AT THE TRAILS. DO YOU LIKE APPLES???? HENRY GOT THE GOLD!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Wii boy you the man, congrats to you, you showed them all. Congrats to your familia also tell Angele job well done!!!

dddddddammm shorty you did it. you fucxxxkn did . dddddamm i cant believe it.

U did it u really did it Forever an Olympic Gold Medalist

Told you bunch of haters!!!! USA BABY!!!

Congrats Henry,

All your work has paid off.

Also Cubans are p.ussies at wrestling

Cejudo has 2 wins against Moreno - Cuba (Bronze Medalist at Worlds) and a win against Kudukhov - Russia (2007 World Champ / 2006 Silver).

This weight class is tough. If Henry doesn't make mistakes he could win gold or medal.

busted his. is busting his. earned his spot. what else is he supposed to do. this sport is competative. he won. won. won. henry cejudo came out on top. he won. he won. stop hating. childish ignorance.

isnt this about wrestling. does it matter what race the wrestler is. just let the better wrestler wrestle. it is so pointless and ignorant to dance around the fact that his parents are immigrants and that abas was injured. its over. henry cejudo won...period. his race doesnt change that. cejudo won 2 out of 3. not just a fluke one matcher. all the racists on here need jesus.

No wonder americans are hated all over the world. I can't believe all the racist posts here about HC going back to Mexico, etc. HE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, BORN IN THE USA, OF IMMIGRANT PARENTS just like most of you, or are you native americans?=indians? You BETTER SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTHS. If he wins, then you'll say he is american, right? Gringos, you deserve the hatred ALL the world feels towards you.

all of you cejudo haters should just shut your mouths until you learn to respect our olympians.

to- "GO BACK"
You're ed. You'll never be half of the person that Henry is and you're just jealous. You don't even understand half of the work that Henry has put in so just shut your mouth before you say something even more unintelligent. And he definitely didn't cheat to beat Abas. So just grow up.

i like to say congrats to henry great job glad you rebounded well from the nationals. he inspires me so much because one of my good friends i still remeber today beat henry in middle school and my friend no offense now is really nothing and he worked so hard to get where he is at now. good luck "Shortie" at olympics

Crowd=haders

Henry all i know is that are going to do good.. train hard give it all u can.. the PEOPLE that dont like u can go to HELL because all they are showing is that thay wish that they can do what u can and i bet they want there sons to be like u but they cant because i guess your not good enough for them but.. all of the people who talk are the biggest hader's because u are young have alot of talent and best of all u are a LATIN AMERICAN and none of these people cant change that and either can u but u are pround to be there and so am i.. all these people can talk as much as they want because u are to GOLDEN CHAMP and u WILL BRING back the GOLD and best of all u will represent the US and all these people are going to be kissing ur feet.. wait! not ur feet ur ASS and all of them are going to eat up all there words.. i just wish u the best..
!TRAIN HARD! !BRING BACK THE GOLD!
Good Luck...

if you do some research you will find that cejudo beat the crap out of simmons already. henry is amazing and proved that he deserved the spot. all of you trying to defend abas need to realize that injuries are a part of wrestling. sure, abas was probably not the same guy at the trials that he was at the last olympics but he wouldn't be able to wrestle at the same level in beijing either.

go USA!

most agree Cejudo very strong, but may or may not have reached master status yet. Time will tell. best of luck. As the beloved Olympic Silver medalist stated "he's the future". for better or worse.

Henry Cejudo is a Legendary wrestler I seen him win his third and four state titles in Colorado.People give him credit he won. Critic always find negative things to say Henry has tons of talent dont be surprised if he comes back with the gold Stop hateing apreciate

Cejudo was stahling big time, had no technique only trying to weak snap, poor shots. Clearly not on the same level as the legend. However due to the unimaginable buring pain of torn knees/ankles, anyone alive would never even consider puttin shoes on. Abas is Legendary!

I went to the trials at saw:
Henry won match 1 of 3 with agility and speed. Abas won match 2 of 3 because of experience and will. Henry won match 3 of 3 because he got momentum and Abas realized that he was losing before the match was over. Abas showed a lot of pain, but there are no excuses in wrestling. Abas showed up to win regardless of pain and fell short. Both are great wrestlers and their match was fun to watch. I think that Henry, who is representing our country, probably has a better sense of patriotism than those who push the "mexican bigotry". I guarantee that the ignorant posters only wish they could be in his league. Gold medals are given to those who earn it, not always to those we think deserve it.

abas is a good looking dude when his head isn't shaved. Cejudo is an ugly mother fukker

By the sound of it Abas might be in trouble with the law. rematch in 5 to 10

loves to kiss coocoocaca all day long and begs for more. we double dare you to wrestle Abas again.

enrique looks like the missing link and he smells very much like CEBUTTO! if she did kiss them both someone gots sloppies and was kissing the others kookoocaca - yeah babee.

She kissed them both. let's see you wrestle tournament and come out smelling like roses. Abas is Fugly himself. this ain't america's top model. But if it was america's ugliest, i'd give it to abas.

hurry hurry give this beaner a bar of soap he's stinkin up the joint. in more ways than one. HC really ridin dirtee.

I hope chun didn't chuck kissing this fugly dude. I bet a milla he smells like dead elephant azz mixed with old man balls. yuk!

is an awesome wrestler wonder which wrestler she was rooting for? her video is on here, too bad they didn't ask her? Who was she dating when she lost to patricia? Hope she does as well as miranda or better.

They both dated Clarissa Chun. She made the team this year by beating 2004 olympic bronze medalist Patricia Miranda.

i have an idea for a shirt Super Spic , able to leap on to an injured leg, and cook tacos in a single bound. He should be banned and deported. Abas is the class act. Wrestling's Savior and Angel

WoW, the announcers should of mentioned something like that. Or are we being Punked right now! Ashton?? where are you? real or no real?

Rumor has it these two date or dated the same girl wrestler. maybe there was a little animosity between them. oh well No love lost. So who got the girl? Which girl wrestler is she? did she wrestle at the trials?

did cejudo do an illegal move in the match? i saw the picture but it looks like wrestling to me. can any refs explain what happened? was he penalized?

compare the two post final interviews from Jake D. and Henry C. can you spot the difference. these two young guns are great for our sport but the one ego tripping is not. even brands knew how much to keep his mouth shut and if you got nothing good to say don't say nothin. let your Wrestling do the talking! dummy

Its disgusting that so many people from our American wrestling community are racist.

ignorant people think he is blatantly disrespecting abas like he means it to sound that way. i believe he just has a lack of intelligence, and what he said came out sounding terrible. i believe he was angry that people were going to say he only won because of the "hurt knee" so he said that it wasn't as bad as abas made it look. which is entirely believable to me. Cujedo has over a decade left in his career, and i will likely be our olympian for multiple olympics. I believe as he ages he will grow in maturity, and the black mark on his name will begin fading away. He just wants some respect, because no one backs him up. He's young, and has a lot to learn still. But regardless of how you feel, he is our Olympian. Support our team, or not, he's representing us all. He's a great wrestler, and at just 21, is going to the Olympics. He's got talent, quit all the disrespect.

whats funny is HC family is from mexico and you talk the trash you do. saying he should go back to mexico. what about the other races. thier families come from other parts of the world. but the US cant handle a hispanic doing good for himself. you talk that this is a mans sport and the kid should go home. i dont hear anyone saying anything about the kid from MN and he did a great job they all deserve to be there.good luck to all wrestlers!!!! go USA!!!!!!

Congratulations Henry!!!

You proved to us all that you deserve to be in the Olympics representing the USA.

IS ARE AMERICAN OLYMPIAN NOW SO DONT HATE YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE US MEXICANS GOT BALLS AND WE DONT BREAK SO STOP TALKING CRAP BEFORE I PUT U TO REST PLAYA

this little wet back is a cheater. send him back to mexico or jail or both where he belongs. is he even a citizen

What did he do? Or are you just talking bad about Abas just to get a reaction?

Abas does not like all you talking crap about a future Olympian, and both Abas and Cejudo respect each other, so lets just not stick up for a guy who does not need to be stuck up for!

Abas is an american and will root for Cejudo, so follow his lead and do the same.

I was going to post some true but unflattering facts about abas, but I will not stoop to your level.

Lets just say Stephan has some legal problems awaiting his return to Denver.
He is not a great role model, but one hell of a wrestler. I am very suprised by the negative reaction to Cejudo on here. Now that I can see the video, I think you all need to chill out.
Anyone who saw the match saw Abas was tired, no big deal, he stalled a little to catch his breadth, it happens to everyone. Calling him a possum for taking a breather is not really a big deal, and it is not disrespectful either, IMO
Anmyway, good luck Abas and Cejudo

so what is it exactly that your talking about. Will it change the view of all the
HC haterz and the abas fans. Tell us all so we can judge for ourselves.

You backward a$$ redneck take off your sheet,stop licking Abas balls and get a clue. Your boy got beat deal with it. You obviously have nothing to say so you have to get racial. Henry will represent the U.S.A. and will do it well. Go to your kkk meeting and quit crying already.

give the guy some credit. looks like the country isnt ready for a latino to bring home the gold. good luck HC

cheater = garbage

cejudo should get deported and Represent Mexico.

cejudo is an "Un Educated " mexican whos next real job will be picking lettuce in the fields of california. cejudo will not make it far at the olympics he will be beat by real true champions who will not show this punk kid any respect and work to injure and put him out

Abas will be at the wrestling camp for ken chertow taking place at Fresno State July 8th-13th maybe you should re interview Stephen Abas and talk more with him about what he has learned in life and what the sport of wrestling has done for him.everyone learns lifes lessons and he is human like everyone else.

man all u guys that are writhing mean things about henry all wish that u guys can be in henry's shoes..... u guys cant do what henry can.......
good luck in beijing.......

DONT LISTEN TO ANY OF THESE HATERZZZZZZZZZ....

ABAS LOST TO CEJUDO IN THE TRAINING ROOM, NOT OTHER WAY AROUND, I WAS THERE

IN A MINUTE IM GONNA AIR ABAS DIRTY LAUNDRY, AND ALL YOU "CARING" PARENTS WOULD NEVER SEND YUR KIDS TO AN ABAS CAMP EITHER.
ARE ANY OF YOU EVEN AWARE OF WHAT A POSSOM DOES? COULD IT BE THAT HE "PLAYED POSSOM" AND LOOKED HURT, THEN CAME OUT AND WRESTLED TOUGH? HENRY DID NOT EVEN MEAN TO DIS ABAS, HE WAS CALLING HIM "TOUGHER THAN HE LOOKED"

Henry won plain and simple. He was obviously training to beat Abas and it shows with his lack of respect in his comments. Perhaps if he respected him more he would not be sitting there talking at all.

Bottom line, Henry wasn't there to make friends and have a fan club on the internet, he was there to win, he is backed up by an Iowa legend who was hell bent at doing the same during his tenure and obviously it's rubbing off. He was there for war, so congratulate him on his victory and don't address what he should and shouldn't say unless you can earn his seat.

hey wrestling guru: the guys you metioned are in sports you can make millions

Henry sounds like a fag what he going to do when he does nothing at the Olympics. His education would get him a job out picking lettuce

Hey Henry nice job.. I am gay now!

the dude has a lot to prove. with that attitude he better be able to back it up, if not he was just a fluke.

awesome job henry. ur the man. we all dream of training and achieving what u have. one more tourny to go. hopefully, one day many of us will respect him. maybe after an olympic gold, world championship, and some good interviews. he may not need college as u will be paying him to teach ur kid how to wrestle better.
a few more years and he could be head coach at a d1 school. I think he'll continue to be great.
loved the emotion after the victory. very motivational. god bless henry and abbas

There is a lot of hate on this thread. It is quite sad that his own countryman are routing against him.

DUDE THE GUY IS A BAMF IN THE STATE FINALS THE GUY WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM HIM HE WOULD KICK EVEY ONES ASS HERE

Give Cejudo a break.......he is an immature, uneducated child......child. In time he will learn how to be humble, and not stupid. He made the move to Colorado Springs, knowing he would give up college for his dreams. Was he a 4.0 in high school????...........so he is not very smart. Hopefully after chasing his Olympic Dream, he will chase higher education.......look at other uneducated sports stars (Mike Tyson, Daryl Stawberry, PacMan Jones).....all felons, but great athletes. Hopefully Henry will understand his misguided ways.

thousands and thousands were very dissapointed Henry came away with that win, and I believe Henry was dissapointed he won like that. In the end he beat an injured legend knowing he truly did not deserve to. I wonder how he does against Simmons?

we all want you all to stop criticizing this young kid who came from nothing, left his family his freshman year in highschool to train for his dream of winning an olympic gold medal. hell this kid was only a kid in high school when abas was in the olympics. he made alot more sacrifices than most wrestlers. give him his due. read his sports illustrated article and you will know here he came from. he lost his father only recently. he is a good kid. doesn't party , smoke, drink. he will earn his 15 minutes and more!

we all want cejudos 15 minutes to be over, get this rude dude outta here already. basically a never was.

love the way the interviewers can't take anymore of this jackazz he commands him to leave now. the Wrestling world was going for Abas not the donkey. classic.

I will show all of my wrestlers this interview and let them learn to respect all people and all opponents this will be a tool of what not to do and a lesson to nver open your mouth and insert foot ! was thinking to take it a step further and print out some t's about cejudo mocking him something to the effect of cejudo "lesson learned"

i agree with brown pride. he should of known this kid was a younger version of him, ain't afraid of nobody and ready to take on the world . abas didn't do his home work or extra credit, if anything played hookie to get high

Frank Mir you don't want to get in the cage with me again. Don't push your luck you will never get that cheap ankle lock again. I will beat your a$$ like I was doing the whole fight. Abas if you want to win the TEXAS CAGE MATCH you better get a partner a lot better than Mir.

If you knew your statistics, you'd know that HC has beat Matt Azevedo several times before, even while in High School and you called that 2 second pin a pin, come on... I'd like to see that happen again. It won't .That's probably why Azevedo didn't make it far this time. As far as injuries go, no one told Abas to start training 2 days before. Abas should have known who he was up against.
Cejudo, you better take it to the top... Statistics

To all the haterz, get over it... A yougster beat the old man and is on his way to the top!!! Like dude said, Cejudo is the BIG DOG, right now!!! So take it all the way to the top and represent the U.S with the G O L D... Abas, if you knew this tournament was coming up, you should have trained... trained hard... Tough Luck bro...

Would have, could have, should have, but didn't get over it already he lost! Abas did he raised Henrys hand after the bout was over. He don't need you crybabys to make excuses for him losing. Every dog has his day and Henry is the big dog right now. If you can't hang with the big dogs get off the porch.

at that level, no one is a hundred percent, naggin injuries, cutting weight blues, outside stresses. you say abas was 80% , maybe cejudo was 70%. the best wrestler won. you guys forget its been 4 years since abas wrestle a season. its not like he's been on the grind for the last four years. maybe four weeks

every dog has his day...

fix: so by your rational harry lester , ruiz, durlacher, should also be on the team to because they are the veterans. Plus henry has winning records against acevedo and simmons, heck he beat them while still in highschool.

if abas did win, whose to say his health would hold up in the hardest tournament in the world. If you think henry can't win at the olympics, but he just beat abas two outta three what do you think the rest of the world will do to abas

you know all of the other Countries are just relieved Abas may not compete. and are totally glad to get this wet behind the ears youngster.

brackets were not correct. cejudo would never get past dangerous Nick Simmons or the pinning machine Matt Azevedo. And still have the cajones to put up a fight against Olympic Silver Medalist Stephen Abas.

abas isn't humble. He was humbled! what do you think his interview would have been like if he won. He was throwing China t- shirts into the crowd after each round looking ahead to the olympics and not the next round. looking at all his recent videos his looks body looks fine. He's getting forty thousand donated to him, plus 1500 a month and he hasn't wrestled a full season in 4 years. Maybe it got to his head.
his match in the semi's he took a long injury time out and stood up and took the national champ right down for the win and onto throwing shirts in the crowd. Then his first match in the finals he was waving his finger at his opponent and standing up and sticking his leg out, mocking and not respecting his opponent. his actions show that he was playing and gonna walk thru the finals. maybe just a lil too overconfident. It happens to the best athletes mike tyson vs. buster douglas comes to mind

show some respect.

henry cecoochie sucks

I will use this idiot as a bad example and teach my Son what not to do in Life. Cejudo should give the true champion Stephen Abas his rightful Olympic spot and go back to school. Maybe then will the masses tolerate him and just maybe that dumb ass deer in the headlights look go away.

This dumb brat got soo lucky by barely beating an 80% Abas and only because he had the easy side of the bracket. No way this punk would have got passed Matt Azevedo the guy who stuck Cejudo one month ago. Let alone 3rd place Nick Simmons both who an injured Abas defeated. Bottom line this kid has some big shoes to fill and will never be able to get the job done period. Henry Cecoochie is 4 - 6 in International competition!

henry cejudo is to immature to compete internationally. he can't handle it yet

It's funny how all these people say Abas was hurt, but yet like this other guy said, he jumped off that mat just fine after his ass was handed to him...... LMFAO!!! Just to show a youngin' beat a grown man's ass.... Go CEJUDO!!!! Olympics 2008... Good Luck in Beijing!

Just so you know Abas is a f**kin' cry baby ass... Stop crying already, you lost fair and square... You won one Olympic metal now move on cause Cejudo is representing the U.S. in Beijing this time, so get over it... Cejudo take it all the way and I'm down to tag team in Texas.... **Warrior Dumbass**

Every wrestler will come off the mat with their own opinion of their oppent. We (the fans) were just watching, but Cejudo was really out there and he knows how hard he hit that move that injured him. So he was just sharing his opinion. He even said in the begining that he looked up to him when he was young. Cejudo beat abas.....period!.....I believe that he has a great future ahead of him. Good luck at the Olympics Henry. I know you can bring back the gold!

I volunteer, free of charge.
To the chump who told Abas to pick a partner...

can this discussion end

Win with some cl.

hey cejudo we know you read the posts on here why dont you step up and be a man about and publically apologize for being totally disrespectful and apologize to the great warrior and gladiator "Abas"

not only is henry cejudo the face of wrestling but is Mexican too =)

viva MEXICO

is putting down Cejudo for his wrestling! He won and is representing U.S.A in the Olympics! People are just upset because a lot of kids look up to Abas and so did Cejudo, there was no need to put down Abas by Cejudo. So showing respect to your fellow competitors is what America wants as a true Olympian Representation of the U.S.A. So, good luck to Cejudo and make your next interview of better character of America!

I got your back Henry. Abas pick your partner and it's on! TEXAS TAG TEAM CAGE MATCH......

cejudo just beat an olympic gold medalist...enough said

CEJUDO! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A TEXAS CAGE MATCH!

what is done is done. i am an abas fan, but he lost and he is not going to the olympics. hc to me showed a lot of immatuarity in the press conference, he is young and needs to be show some matuarity, because as much as he looked up to abas growing up he needs to realize there is another kid watching his moves on the mat and off the mat. hopefully hc learns from this trials on how to win with dignity, theres no need to call someone of the caliber of abas a possum, even if hc reallly thought he was, you just dont say that outloud, keep to yourself and be more politically correct next time. because there is a thing caled karma out there.

Abas is a warrior and a gladiator this cejudo is a no one

cejudo has a big head...bigger than oj

Abas is a warrior and a gladiator he goes to war when others stay home Abas plays no possum with no one nor makes any excuses Abas the Gladiator & the Warrior

Don't get mad because the kid told the truth Abas was plaing possum. His leg would be o.k. til he got taken down again then it would hurt. he'd get up bounce around get taken down and was hurt. You can't handle the truth. He's 21 wait till his career is over and see who did more. My money is on Henry. Bring home the gold champ.

1st off: Abas is a great wrestler, BUT came up short... What's up with all that resting in the final matches? and after supposable being hurt he jumps off that mat....WTF??? All you haters CEJUDO will represent the U.S and will take it all the way because of his determination... So DON"T HATE!!! Cejudo CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's go for the GOLD!!!!! Beijing 2008... Oh by the way the banner ur family had was awesome, Great touch!!!

Possum? Your a cl act kid. You will not place, you will not medal ,you will never have half the skill level or experience, better yet the influence Abas has put on this sport.
Your as dirty as the Iowa style.

give the kid a break he just won the biggest match of his life. He's twenty years old sorry if everything that comes out of his mouth doesn't make everyone happy. sorry to see abas lose but let's not take it out on our olympic team member. kid has worked hard to be here.

Too bad Sammy didn't give it one more go. I'd rather see him go.

H.Cejudo is one of a kind and i wish him the best of luck. dont let us down.
abbas came up short. he is a great wrestler and most importantly a great role model. i would love to see him wrestle for the us one more time. however he is hurt and is not at a 100 percent.

abbas WAS good. quit living in the past
go practice capoiera. thanks for coming

cejudo doesnt give a what u guys think.
goood luck!
he is the way he is. and he is not gonna change. deal w/ it .
he is y , yes but , has a right to be!
thats the way he is he is not gonna be humble for you.

cejudo beat a beast. therefor he will be the man who represent us. thankyou
okay lets send abbas ,, because hes more humble and more respectful then cejudo....bull!

ha ha ha gotta love the make a wish foundation DoRksi you called it right !

Not to mention abas is a silver medalist and cejudo hasn't won 1/16th of the matches Abas has won internationally. Hes a one dimensional human being who lacks originality. Hes a chronie who prides himself on being a CHRONIE. Abas was truly a rare breed wrestled with legendary individuality. I must show support to HC while wrestling under the US flag but odds are he'll be part of the make a wish foundation. His wish will be to one day be as good as ABAS

yo quit hating on my boy henry! he won! ok this is his time! let him prove himself! I don't see any of you out there late night practices year around wrestling! he did this! this is his shot! he worked very hard for this! HENRY! all the love from phoenix! you did it mejo! i known you for a long time! you deserve this and don't let it go to your head, keep up the hard work! and don't mind the haters! just do you and bring it home! ok for your family and for all your supporters! best of luck! and yo just quit baggin on him!

It sure takes a big man to call some one a chump sitting there in that chair and they don't even know Henry or Abas. I've known Henry for three year's and watch him destroy his high school weight cles. Ive watch him out move and out score his oppent at Jr. FILA's like they were standing still. He could be the greatest wrestler of our life time. Last time I checked your state side and he is going to Bjeing. While no one can take anything away from Abas, you also can't take anything away from Henry. He's earned the right to wrestle for America. So get on board or get off. Go back to heckville, Where you breed bais with your cosins.If you new half the Cejudo story you would get it. It's about anyone can be anything if you have the heart and the determination to succeed. You have to know you can beat the world's best before you are the world's best.

To the victor goes the spoils.

I like how both wrestlers give props to Henry after the match. Funny considering abas has been off for over 3 years and was wrestling with one leg. Cejudo could have been a little more gracious and respectful to abas. Saying he was playing possum and just tired. IMO the special wrestler of the two is and always will be ABAS!

Quit crying about how Cejudo was not showing respect. This is for the Olypics and the GOLD! This kid has worked for this and now it is HIS time. Team USA needs a guy like this. He is an animal!!! oh and by the way, GET IT DONE DEITCHLER!!!!!!! THAT KID IS THE S**T!!!

beijing.
clless. champions don't talk this way about
their opponents. I'll be surprised if he medels in

He answered truthfully, he felt he was playing possum. Not saying he wasn't hurt, just using the extra time to recover. Was it true we don't know but it was his opinion. We all hate to see our champions lose,but most usually do. Abas was a great champion hopefully Henry can uphold his standards on the mat. Off the mat a little more maturity and I'm sure he will pick his words more carefully.

This isn't about Cejudo beating Abas. It's about Cejudo saying Abas was a faker. It's about respect and being humble. I think this is why people are pissed.If Cejudo would of just answered the question respectfully then this wouldn't have happened and Cejudo would of had more people behind him. Abas never makes excuses for a loss. He takes it like a true champ and deals with it. Cejudo needs to think before he says anything. One wrong word and BAM, fans are lost.

Henry beat Abas straight up . . . . . . . I just wish he would have done it with alot more humbleness and some humility!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE NEEDS TO LEARN THIS REAL QUICK. THANK YOU STEPHEN ABAS FOR ALL YOU HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPORT OF WRESTLING. YOUR ARE A TRUE CHAMPION AND ROLE MODEL.

excuses,excuses,excuses Henry flat out beat him quit crying already. Henry is the man if he wasn't Abas should have beat the boy. Great job Henry bring home the gold!

Cejudo was luck abas was not 100% thats all I have to say

It's funny that you call me a "Dipstick" yet you cannot even put your name to your posts. Man up.

abas was not out of shape he trains everyday with capoiera, and yes we would send abas anyday of the week and twice on sunday.you dont send a boy to do a mans job thats for real.cejudo shows no respect and is not a humble person deal with it dipstick

Pedro - Brazil
Send my regards to Erick!
Way to go brother....see you in China

abbas was out of shape. how are you gonna send him to represent ouur country

YOUR THE BEST, WHO CARES WHT PPL THINK, U LIVE TO WRESTLE NOT TO PLEASE ABBAS' FANS,,

The same idiot who posted the same thing in different words for over 10 posts to start this thread is probably the same jack on the blog. It's funny you talk about kids... for someone who comes online to talk so much , your acting like a kid, and probably are one. If you are infact an adult, act like one. You have a problem with someone... say something in a respectful way. All you have done is put yourself much lower than the person you were insulting. Take your hating to one post, and make it reasonable.

I talked to my brother this morning and he said he heard from a teammate (at Illinois) who was at the OTC at the time, that a healthy Abas was dominating Cejudo at the OTC. This teammate said that it was so bad, that Cejudo started avoiding Abas and didn't wrestle with him the rest of the camp.

no respect should deserve an array of boos from the crowd this kid is a pompous lil prick

cejudo has no idea what a fan loss looks like when everyone starts booing him at competitions he will know what a chaump he really is

used to think that cejudo was cool. now he turns out to be a chump! you only beat abas cuz he wasn't 100%. you know he kicks your "kitten" azz in the otc room. yeah....you know it.

"He is one of those guys I kinda looked up to when I grew up..." Please allow me to translate that into plain English. "Frankly, I had no idea who the hell Stephen Abas was and it was great beating the tar out of that nobody tonight."
Did Cejudo put his finger in an electrical outlet before this interview? Look at that hair!

Give him more credit. He beat the best, he's soaking it all in, he's young. Good look Cejudo, the US is behind you 100%.

you forgot you were representing the usa this weekend and many thought anyone who would be able to beat an abas would be a humble champion

What did u dream of the whole world thinking you are a jerk ?

cejudo today will be the day everyone remembers about you being a dispresepctful lack of any strength as a person or competitor no one wants to hear from someone like you just leave the mat now no one will notice you arent around and no one will care

Cejudo got pinned by azevedo once just think when he gets put up against the best in the world he is gonna crumble lile a cookie that lil jerk shows zero respect for a man a legend of our sport.cejudo you are a jerk you deserve no respect

After hearing Cejudo, I will never take any of our guys to a camp with Cejudo. I'd rather go to the Tovar / Huesein technique camp.

Remember when Azevedo pinned Cejudo.

cejudo is a good wrestler and as a fan of wrestling i wish him all the luck in this upcoming olympics. but he has no right to disrespect a wrestler like abas. like i said before abas would of destroyed him if he was 100%, so cejudp you might want to keep your comments to yourself, because i would take abas anytime of the week and twice on sunday.

hey goons aka "henry cejudo" speak up you lil jerk you are immature and a lil prick you show no respect for a man a legend , at the end of the day u will get your but beat down by someone who shows respect for you and you will be humbled I relish the day when you get your day to get your butt wiped off the mat I will cheer that day for the other

there is alot of goons out here talking about cejudo. i bet its just one person (hater) using different screen names. yall stop talking . abas got his kicked end of story. cejudo came more prepared that day. end of story. cejudo is Our Country's National Champ. There is no one better than him in our country. period.

cejudo cant wipe his own butt nor is he educated he is a immature lil prick

when you think of olympic champions you always believe it will be a guy your kid can look up to and solid person who represents well.unfortunately henry does nthing more than show his immaturity and stupidity to disrespect a man and legend of our sport.disrespect gets you no where lil kid..somewhere their is a shirt that says respect all maybe you have read this shirt at many tournaments you chose to ignore and now you will reap the rewardd for being a disrespectful jerk

Cejudo is just a little boy and still can't wipe his own butt. You messed up buddy. You just lost yourself a lot of fans. The only way you can redeem yourself is to win the olympics. As of now, your ugly, your hair looks stupid, you have no friends and nobody likes you.

ABAS dont make excuses he is our real hero Abas lives on we are proud of stephen abas you are our winner today

abas is the best in showmanship he had a great ride and left our sport showing tradition as his hopes ofr others who might go down the same path as he did making a run at an olympic dream Abas is a man cejudo shows zero respect and is a punk end of story

Cejudo is tough, but to disrespect an OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST is immature and childish. If he thought Abas was faking it, he should of just kept it to himself. Abas is still the master. Until Cejudo places at the olympics, he will still be below Abas' level. Lots to learn you have, young grhopper.

That is my point exactly. Lets just say Abas was faking. I highly doubt it. But who is Henry Cejudo to disrespect a guy like Abas. If Henry places at the Olympics or at the Worlds then maybe he can talk smack. Til then he is just a punk who chokes on the world stage and I will bet he does the same in Bejing.

Henry Cejudo is the best in our country right now, so for all u haters if u have a wrestler that is better than him why dont u send them out on the competition circuit. Abas was getting knocked up and as a result he was grabbing his knee for a pity factor. Cejudo is a beast.

CHIA CEJUDO!
We all know that Abas at a 100% would wipe the mat with this kid. Abas beat some world cl wrestlers with one leg. Just goes to show the kind of level Abas is at. Cejudo is still a little boy. He's just gonna have to prove himself at the Olympics.....and he looks like a chia pet. "Che, Che, Che, Chia!"

henry cejudo won. fair and square. none of us know what went down on that mat. henry says abas was faking to a degree. and i believe him. abas was hurt and losing. so he grabbed his knee so everyone would pity him. that is why batirov beat the out of him.

agree with you on your comments about the lil jerk brands had influence in the bracketing wow sounds lile another weasel i know who does the same stuff and yes you are right as soon as cejudo reads this he will know the world thinks of him as a punk not a champion !

The problem with Henry is he shows no respect for people who are already established and proven on the World stage. It is good to be confident, but this is total disrespect. I still believe that Brands had some influence in having Abas on the other side of the bracket. If Henry would have met him in the second round there would have been a different outcome. I think the best finals this year would have been Abas and Henson. 2 proven world cl athletes going at it. Henry knows on his best day he could not beat or never will beat a healthy Abas or Henson. He can talk all the crap he wants. Everyone knows he is a punk. Brands should be ashamed of himself also.

We will never send our kid to any camp that you are affiliated with we dont send our kids to immature jerks who show no cl what are you teaching kids with your interview ? no kids should follow you or look up to you

Abas is our Champion Cejudo is nothing more than a lil boy cant believe we would send a lil boy to do a mans job cejudo you are nothing I would not ever send my kid to a camp you are putting on and ever pay a cent for your time training my kid we will p

Abas is a man. Take some notes.
You just lost yourself a whole lotta fans little boy.

your face look slike a possum you lil jerk

you arent going to get any respect kid you are an idiot you are not a great competitor you arent powerful you are a lil jerk.The critics say you are a lil jerkoff you did not gain any respect winning gained you zero no one is gonna give you props u lil jerk

cejudo is an idiot hang it up step aside and let the real champion go and handle the business you are to young and immature to go to battle you are no warrior only a punk kid

doing interviews like this and saying Stephen was playing possum, will get you NO RESPECT. STEPHEN SHOWED NOTHING BUT CL ON AND OFF THE MAT.

hey cejudo you are punk hope someone uses your face for mat burns at the olympics or practice prior to it so you grow up yourself you are a clless chump

u kinda looked up to abas growing up and u talk to much cejudo maybe just be humble and shut up and give credit where credit is due,.what do you call possum define that in your mind you lil prick

Cejudo beating abas is not good for usa wrestling

the guy had one leg and almost made the olympic team. He's sick!!! sick!!!!!!! ONE leg!

Abas convinced himself he was ready and did all that training capueta and everything and was defeated Abas showed no take down skills as he was famous ofr in years past.Abas maybe should've hung it up rather than embar himself and get called a possum

calling steve abas "possum" during their last match, that shows no cl in his part, steve at 100% would of destroyed him. he should act more like champion and not chumpion. either way good luck to u.s wrestling freestyle team.
