Cox is freaking huge!
I think they need more weight classes for the Olympics. Some real deserving, quality kids are never going to get their shot.
I seriously don't know what to think about Ramos/Dennis. I can see both sides. I felt like the timing of it all kind of made him more inclined to be so open like that. I have a ton of friends who are close with Ramos, a ton who are Iowa insiders...I can see all of their points. Evidently this was something that a lot of Ramos's guys had been expecting for a while.
Dennis is a freaking bad ass on top. That gut he has is crazy.
Part of me thinks Ramos should try MMA. Heard he was considering it at one point. He is obviously willing to talk the UFC talk that sells.

Definitely agree with more weight classes.
I feel bad for Ramos but am happy for Dennis (probably because I'm not an Iowa fan).
Think Scott should have kept going with his gut at the end of his Ramos match but his silly finish attempt cost him. Bummer, as I think he'd have been getting at minimum a bronze this cycle (sidenote, his RH duck with elbow-control transition from his overtie series against Colon was wicked. Really interested to see if anyone else can start using his techniques from there considering how many of US guys just hang out in collar ties).
Felt bad for Metcalf as well, as I don't think there's a chance in hell Molinaro places.
