Big Ten Wrestling: 184 LBs - Penn State's Bo Nickal vs. Rutgers' Nicholas Gravina

[@poolboyinla]

You wouldn't expect a guy with a 10-4 record to give Bo such a tough match but obviously, this guy is a lot tougher than his record suggests. Much respect to Gravina.

[@RyanOrtega6]

It’s not like high school where if someone has a better record there Better then them. In college every single kid is a stud no doubt so no matter who you wrestle almost the whole time it’s going to be tough

[@ultimategamer4010]

@@RyanOrtega6 record doesnt really matter in hs either

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Indubidubly 🙂

[@RonnieD1970]

Bo obviously was sick. Fun match to watch

[@amazingsportsmixes126]

Gravina very defensive wrestler also

[@Tdinh79]

Nickal looked mortal here! Amazing job by Gravina! Nickal in his senior year compared to this is night and day though.

Nickal had the flu

[@charlestaylor5511]

Bo had the flu...good job for both

[@tloraw1620]

Nickal was just walking through the match. Gravina gave it his all and still couldn't get it done. Walk in the park for Nickal.

[@jerrylisby5376]

Walk in the park? He barely won.

[@catsoncoke]

Jerry Lisby he had the flu, and yeah he barely won but he wasn’t trying his hardest

[@jackchalance3542]

Gravina had mono and almost beat him.

[@razzberry4756]

Nickal looks like he’s having a bad day

[@slystevie8]

Hey whats that move called where Nickal does a duck and get kind of a half while standing?

[@zmohan69]

Steven Adams its a duck under.

[@e2go]

He was getting headbutted bad early and was pissed off about it.

[@misterwonderful8628]

I agree. He looked so depleted here. Like at 06:50 , the escape would have usually been met with an immediate taking of the leg to a trip.

[@juniormolina2292]

I know im late 😂 but during this time i read and bo had the flu during this time of the dual meet.

[@RyanDeakin-sx5vn]

Bo Nickal was a BEAST in college and is a true beast today! He's a dedicated athlete that excels in everything he does. Had Gravina attended a wrestling school like Iowa, Oklahoma or Penn State this match may have ended a lot differently. You can't expect to be top level unless you're wrestling top level guys every day. Rutgers, Cornell, Stanford and Oregon are schools guys attend when they didn't get a scholarship offer for Oklahoma, Penn State or Iowa. Or they were worried they wouldn't get to start.

[@jamespipkins1958]

Ref was pretty bad, should have been at least two points for hands to the face happened at least 6 times

[@jerryschmit4192]

That one take down at the end of the first really cost him but can’t wait to see what Gravina can do this season!

[@MRxROID]

he graduated

[@davidarevalo1925]

[@williamoleary9330]

Great job by Nick hanging in with one of if not the most dangerous wrestler in the last 20+ years

[@JohnDoe-fh4gd]

Indubitably ☺️

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Bo is THE man. Bo is super human. Bo B. Bad. 🙂

[@anoka114]

Bullshit call by the ref on Gravina 1st takedown.

[@JohnDoe-fh4gd]

Bo is the best. ☺️

[@someguy9897]

Gravina took it to him, atta boy!

[@someguy9897]

clark bar I thought Gravina did a good job, idk anything about his teammates. You don't wrestle a close match with a guy like Nickel without working hard

[@someguy9897]

clark bar The story is he had the flu, any slapping didn't cause the score to be as close as it was lol

[@gregorywilson9322]

Man...what are you smokin…?

[@jaboris2x843]

Bo was being toxic with the stale mates💀

[@robertcarter8600]

Nice to see the elegant victory of technical superiority over primitive bulling.

[@adezii1397]

When you arent nearly as good so you resort to slapping and being overly rough

[@misterwonderful8628]

Fred Flintstone style.

[@johnyrodriguez6619]

ADezii overly rough? Shows nickal can't handle well when it gets tough.

[@wyleybug]

Johny Rodriguez Bo had the flu tho.... Bo’s plenty tough enough, but no one wants to get smacked in the face, especially when your sick

[@gcaj85]

@@johnyrodriguez6619 Looks like he won despite the headbutts, bad calls, and emotionally fragile rule violations by his opponent.

[@blakkat4126]

Nickel was suffering from the flu in this match and still beat a pretty good wrestler. If Nickel was healthy, it's not even close.

[@jt519]

Nickal had on the Nike Furys which was released this year. This shows college athletes get products earlier!

[@Henry-bu9tz]

Truly groundbreaking bro he’s going to jail for sure

[@Cochise6666]

Rutgers crowd was booing Nickal's backing up BUT you could bet your life-- literally your life, Gravina would have done the same AND more to win at the end.

Interesting counter to the two on one(Russian tie?) I've never seen or noticed, he ducks under same side as it, and takes the head with the other arm

Nice job Bo!

Wow. Who would have thought Gravina would not get stuck. Gravina is small and weak. And from Jersey.

We were at that match Bo, Jason, and Vincenzo dancing & laying around mat before the match It showed off in their matches And we’re huge fans of Jason and Bo, but it was ridiculous

[@labzline]

I’m not 100% clear on the rules. If they awarded two points to the Ruckers guy for a takedown how then did he restart them because of a stalemate?

[@RogerPack]

It's a stalemate but with Gravina in control. So they went back to center with Bo under...I guess...

Are you talking about the one at 5:35? That was a mat return, Bo hadn’t made an escape from ref’s position yet. So, no takedown points.
