Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Johnson vs. Rhodes

What did everybody think of this match at Kids State Wrestling?

it was a good match and rhodes was his usual self.. and johnson won hands down

I think Johnson did good and probably would have won, but I also think that Rhodes got screwed out of some points, he had the first takedown from the floor where I was, he also had an escape later in the match, it probably wouldn't have made a difference, but it might have changed....

THIS WAS A GOOD MATCH, BUT THE RIGHT PERSON WON. RHODES DOESN'T DESERVE TO WIN ANYTHING WITH HIS ATTITUDE. HE GOT EJECTED FROM THE TOURNAMENT IN HIS NEXT MATCH FOR SAYING A BAD WORD TO THE REF. IF HE COULD GET OVER HIS ATTITUDE A LOT MORE PEOPLE WOULD SUPPORT HIM. IT'S A LOT EASIER TO WIN A MATCH WHEN THE WHOLE ENTIRE CROWD ISN'T AGAINST YOU. IT'S TOO BAD THAT JOHNSON GOT HURT THOUGH AND COULDN'T FINISH.

It was a good match. And it was a difficult match to call or see due to the crowd that developed matside. The state officials could eliminate some of the negative crowd involvement if they would stick to the rules and keep people--and extra coaches-- away from the mat. Rhodes may have missed a call or two--but I've seen him wrestle matches where the officials didn't have the guts to make a tough call against him--especially where sportsmanship was concerned.

Did anyone see the Rhodes vs Taplin match? Was it a good one?

yeah--interesting.

I think that Johnson does a good job of keeping his composure throught out the match that him and T-Bone wrestled and didn't lose his head. He is a very skilled wrestler and would be very hard to beat he scores off of almost everything he does he is not nessacerely a strong wrestler but is never out of position and doesn't mace any mistakes by strong i mean like lifting weights and stuff like that.

Johnson is alot stronger than you think. He competed in a powerlifting meet yesterday at Goodland. He only did bench, though, because Thomas Rhodes is an unsportsmanlike fellow and jumped on his knee. Mike Juby informed me that I must not say bad words, because this is a family oriented forum. I'm sorry to all you families out there that may or may not have viewed this objectionable material. In the future, I will not use profanity.

P.S. Mike, is it alright if I call you a Deutchebag?

NOTDAWSON=NOT BRIGHT

I agree that what NotDawson said was not bright. But it sure was funny. Johnson is strong as hell. I wrestled him this year and I talked to him during a few wrestling tournys. Someone said he benches like 230 and cleans 250 or so. I'm sorry if those stats aren't right. So whoever said that Johnson was not strong as in weightlifting, is totally wrong.
