AJ Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Coach Abbott and Isaiah Bradley are the last two state champions at Muncie Southside, and it just so happens that they each won a state title at 152 lbs... So for those of you who saw Coach Abbott in high school, how bad do you think Abbott would have crushed Bradley... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTMF74 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 hahahaha, I saw tape of Abbott in the state finals. He was big and strong, but Isaiah is pretty funky, tough to score on...I think I take Abbott, lol ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyGonzo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I will go with Isaiah... I think his goofy scrambling ability would be the difference maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ive heard the Abbott thunderous headlocks could be heard all the way to Royerston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1812 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't mean to offend anyone but you did open the door.....this would not be a close match. Tony was at a total different level than Bradley, not to mention the mean streak that he had. Tony still holds records at U of I. I don't say this because he is a very close friend of mine, because there was a a time when he was a freshman and I was a senior that our schools were rivals...Delta - South. If Bradley escaped Tony's opposite side-headlock, he would have lost by at least 8 points if not more. Having said that I think Bradley is a great kid\wrestler and I hope he repeats.

In 20 years, people will say the same thing about Bradley... Everyone knows that wrestling was always best when they were in high school ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1812 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Past/Future doesn't matter. I suggest you seek out the same video that Bradley witnessed, especially the Abbott vs. Troupe match. I haven't seen anyone run a crossface cradle like Robby Reel of South or David Suits of Delta in the past 20 yrs. either. It doesn't matter how long ago either wrestler wrestled....talent is talent! Watch the video....you will quickly change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
