This was a really humbling moment for Bo. Created a monster

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

I don't understand what's so humbling about losing by a couple points in wrestling? That's like saying Diaz was humbled my mcnuggets in the second fight when they were neck and neck. What's humbling about good competition and learning how to get better? I just don't understand everyones overuse of the word humility. It's obnoxious.

[@oand10]

@@ezradaiquiri11311 uhhhhh you must be unfamiliar with the pure dominance displayed by Bo. Him even losing is almost incomprehensible.

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

@@oand10 no, I'm not unfamiliar. Losing in the face of his dominance doesn't legitimize the claim that he was humbled. Now, if bo was a prick that thought he was better than people because of his dominant wrestling, then I would say he was humbled. But this doesn't appear to be the case.

[@kpj2224]

[@evanjones6144]

I always love coming back and rewatching this match. Super exciting match. One thing I noticed and I could be totally wrong is, Bo LOVED that double-overs throw his freshman year. It was one of his go-to's. Used it a lot. After this match and his last 3 years at PSU, he didn't really use it as much anymore and seemed to focus more on leg attacks.

[@dkeelin]

i actually wrestled in texas around the same time he did and he threw everyone with double overs in high school.

Yes a pro wrestler but he also is trained and competed in legit catch wrestling.
