A lot of people would have reacted poorly to that loss. Man kept his composure and dignity.

[@WrestlingUniversity]

It is difficult to put into perspective just how impressive this is. We are witnessing the genesis of a generational talent.

[@boriskoblents8586]

Maybe. Will have to see how he matches up against other types of wrestlers.

[@dangerpowers4582]

I like to call this era of wrestling "the four-timer era" because the very best are so much better than the second best. We could also see 4 four-timers crowned in THREE years. I bet there will be 10 four-timers in 10 years.

[@gallegos7788]

No doubt he’s good but he then lost to a guy from Chattanooga that wasn’t ranked in the top 20 I believe. Styles make matches.

Congrats to Blaze. However, there is a big difference in physical development in those few years of age gap. Ramos, the NCAA #1, should've had a huge chip on his shoulder going into this and for him to lose is embarrassing.

[@OtisMoto]

Not so much when you're talking 125lbs. Ramos will be that small forever. Blaze will grow. Blaze is a stronger human.

[@capnsean8365]

@OtisMoto I agree. I don't think Blaze will wrestle 125 in college. However, Ramos has 4 extra years of coaching, 4 extra years of drilling, 4 extra years of weight room, and the accolades of being an NCAA finalist. If anyone said he'd be bested by a high schooler 6 months ago, they'd be laughed at.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

@@OtisMoto Ramos looked way, bigger and stronger.

the fact that he can beat spencer lee with a shot in the dark fluke and then lose to a highschooler shows that record doesnt always make up a wrestlers entire skill level. spencer lee might have lost that one match but his legacy led on alot longer than mr ramos here losing to a highschooler. congrats to blaze.

Wow. We all knew Blaze is really good but Forrest and Ramos? 😮 I dare you to say you predicted this. Not to take anything away from Blaze but he should’ve/could’ve/would’ve been hit with stalling twice had this been a full NCAA tournament. Giving a little stalling grace to the HS guys can’t happen at this level because it hurts the collegiate guy. 7-8 shots to 1 is a big difference but still that defense from Blaze was filthy. 🙏🏼

[@jaxchristian6408]

Agreed

[@williamsmoltz1079]

Can’t hit him in OT cause that would’ve been bullshit, I see what you’re saying blaze made it look like he was busy when he really wasn’t doing anything. Smart wrestler

[@gabrielrodriguez6333]

I think I agree with this take. Blaze did amazing, but the stalling was bit frustrating to watch without consequence. Awesome performance by both dudes.

[@josephdimasso8650]

Nah…he did what it took to win. No he did not shoot as much but he attacked and re attacked with head snaps, wrestled him like a true champion. Should not even be in the conversation as it’s a HS junior VS a college #1 ranked wrestler.

[@GuyFromSC]

@@josephdimasso8650 Oh I agree with you 💯 percent. Blaze won that fair and square and like you said “did what it took to win”. It’s my opinion, however, that had it been a dual meet or NCAA’s he would’ve been hit with staling. I’m not a referee and am happy to be a fan. I think Blaze will win a couple Nattys and to put on Ramos like that was 🧈

[@merdog3190]

It's about specialization. Some of these young kids are going to start at 5 years old or younger and they are going to watch all these high level wrestling and combine that with coaches and a team around them and go to levels that seemed impossible.

[@dangerpowers4582]

Ramos can either let this loss eat away at him, or he can start performing at his very best. Ohio has an extremely gifted wrestler in Marcus Blaze. Ramos' biggest issue is his unwillingness to attack. He lost to Pat Glory in the same fashion, and he defended himself for five minutes before giving Glory a takedown. I hate to say it, but he should transfer to Penn State because Cael knows how to get wrestlers to their full potential.
