3/21/2019 - NCAA Wrestling Tournament match Championship Round 2 in the 197 lb weight class between (1) Bo Nickel (Penn State) & (16) Josh Hokit (Fresno State)

That mid-ride shoe adjustment

[@ChasingDonnieBaseball]

as humiliating as it gets...literally lets go with both hands.

[@neuromancer7280]

Reminds me of the video about David Craig adjusting a knee brace mid match

[@jakobmarine3698]

Hokit was broken mentally already 😅

[@chiefguns1980]

Only Bo!

Indubidubly 🙂

PSA to all 197lbs: what works in college doesn’t work against Bo Nickal

[@AyoJayArr]

Lmao he didn't want to lock up, so he just would dive at Bo's upper body? Lol what was he doing. Bo turned it into a take down 3 times

[@aidendroutzur3648]

AyoJayArr he was obviously trying to throw him and put him on his back becaus there was way he was gonna out wrestle him

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Indubidubly 🙂

[@cjichida8174]

2:49 All you need to know about this match

[@JB-zo7ln]

Bo just felt like pinning his rd. 2 guy so he could get some extra rest and cheer on his teammates. He can do whatever he wants. No one in collegiate wrestling is a challenge to him anymore. They are all just his toys. Must be fun to be Bo Nickal.

[@cornprices1718]

he's had a few challenges here and there where he had to go an extra mile, not to mention some of the challenges he faced at final x

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Indubidubly 🙂

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Respect for being a multiple sport div 1 athlete but there wasn't any reason to be a bad sport about Bo trying to help him up. Wrestling is what Bo is an expert of, and of experts he is at the upper end. Too much ego. P.S. I'm arm chair quarterbacking barely 20 year olds at the top of their game while drinking a beer in bed after work. These guys don't give a fuck about my opinion hahahaha

[@alexaguilar5062]

Jordan Babcock 👆🏼my guy!

[@sweeterscience83]

Jordan Babcock some people don’t want to be helped up after taking a loss at the biggest tournament of the year. No bad sportsmanship. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

[@brandonmunson4116]

In my opinion, I think Bo was being a jerk. First of all I don't think its being a good sport to help someone up after you pin them. It's patronizing and also the other guy shouldn't feel like you need to help him up. A good sport would be doing something like that after a loss. But that's just my opinion on helping people up. But, when Bo offered his hand and the guy obviously didnt take it, Bo didn't have to start pulling him off the ground. Helping someone up could be considered good sportsmanship (but I disagree) but the fresno state guy does not need a dude who just beat him standing over him pulling him off the ground.

[@znhait]

@@brandonmunson4116 I agree. Good sportsmanship can never be judged while losing. Good sportsmanship is congratulating your opponent after the ref cost you a match. By the way, I have no problem with someone losing a tough match and not being overly congratulatory. It's just that it's very easy to help someone get up after pinning him, especially given the difference in quality. When Bo defeated Myles Martin, he jumped up like a maniac--by the way, I like Bo.

[@Urboiaintwrong]

sweeter_science83 Franciotti kinda bad sportsmanship but okay god

[@timothywoods4329]

Damn after dude didn’t take his hand why did he literally try and lift him up lmao.

[@stangodlewski895]

facts that was sus

[@thesneakygamer4343]

Whats funny is hokit went on to place fifth. Bo is that much better than the fifth best guy in the nation

[@znhait]

Bo is no doubt much better than Hokit, but you should realize that Hokit had no intentions on trying to out-wrestle Bo. He was obviously trying to go for a big move.

[@patton67]

Good post. I would not have guessed he got 5th watching this. Especially seeded 16. Good for the running back!

[@Retics]

Stupid that guy getting turned like he did. A basic move like that

[@fredarroyo7429]

@@Retics yeah a quarter Nelson, very 5 th grade

[@wrestle4life234]

Penn State has a way of reinventing middle school moves, or figuring out ways to make them actually work

that guy did not want help up

thank you

He was a poor sport

Damn, what a class act that Bo. So great to see. I know it's easy when you're the victor & whatnot, but it didn't look like like he was patronizing or anything -- just trying to help his opponent up.

[@brandonmunson4116]

A Kang r u kidding

[@quintonmorris11]

No he's not. Why would he be? That's clearly a statement

[@codywalshvideos]

Quinton no respect for no nickal doing this. Kids didn’t want to be helped CLEARLY no is cocky and will NEVER and I mean NEVER make a world team

[@johndavidson815]

Bold statement but you are right so far.

[@TurfDoe]

Cody Walsh If he kept wrestling a couple years after 2020 he would eventually make world teams consistently I think. But if he goes into mma right after not making the Olympic team in 2020 then yeah he’ll never make one.

[@jeffreysisti6653]

[@davidrobinson8]

I wrestled in highschool... I took it all the way to Nationals and lost to the #1 seed by points... I was upset but ended my career on a high note... Many will never make it to collegiate anything, and to wrestle a future Olympian has to be awesome.

Why not wrestle in college too?

Seemed to work pretty well... he's an AA now. I think a better statement is what works against everyone else doesn't work against Bo.

Bo not fair 😂😂

I am going adjust my shoe before I pin you.

The guy Bo wrestled is a poor sport.

[@georgesealy4706]

It was so much fun to watch Bo wrestle. The only problem was that the matches didn't last very long.

[@nwolinsP]

He is good if you want to watch a whole match but do not have much time.

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Almost unfair. 😃

[@jonkenny593]

Just lay down, you came into the match timid and scared.

[@samarium1934]

He really didn't though. He tried to get after bo

[@BabyTaz624]

Caleb Ueckert 💯 josh hokit fears nobody

[@fredarroyo7429]

I mean He obviously didnt think He was gonna win and knew he would get pinned easy, so in that guard he might have had no fear. But Athletes should try to compete yoy know

[@nickjay1065]

Why would you leap in with upper body attacks against a guy who is REALLY good upper body??

[@ryan80166]

You think the dude is going to beat him in some other way? Lol. This is probably the best strategy he could have brought. Bo rarely loses upper body, but when he does he goes to his back. That's the only reason he lost his first national championship. He also lost to nate jackson for the same reason, he got caught. Clearly he is better than both, but how else are you going to put the guy on his back? So its either lose to takedown game, or try to throw him and pin him.

[@rikkyhernandez6511]

Yoooo the guy who beat him was Myles Martin, not Nate Jackson my man

[@TurfDoe]

@@rikkyhernandez6511 Nate Jackson beat him at a dual meet his freshman year. That and losing to Myles Martin twice were his only three losses in college.

[@StFidjnr]

I like matches that didn't last the distance especially falls in the 1st round

[@danielkim3238]

why did bo have to try and lift him up. like reach out a hand but if he doesn’t want ur help dont try and grab his waist thats mad sus

[@ianshue2890]

A lot of the things that Bo Nickal does shouldn’t work. He is the only wrestler I’ve seen in wrestling today that can easily throw opponents in the NCAA, it’s just like an undeniable force, you don’t want Nickal to do it to you and you try to stop it, but Nickal gets it anyway. I don’t think Nickal is the greatest wrestler of all time, but he is definitely one of the best to come out of Penn State

[@pjtja9523]

Ummm why wont they show the full 157pound match...???????

@@pano6391 I know, it was more of an arm triangle.

[@pano6391]

@@justinparks654 No, a quarter nelson is not an arm triangle. Go to 3:18 and you can see he does not have an arm across the throat. What he's done is post on the guy's head and reach under the armpit to secure a grasp of his own forearm (posted on the guy's head). He uses this as leverage to turn him.
