Love that cradle game. Pushing so hard for that near side cradle that he baits Brucki in to giving up the far side. Side note - love that Brucki kid, excited to see him do work this year at 197.
I remember facing Brucki back in High School... Hes a lot stronger than he looks it's crazy. I remember just shaking his hand it cracked mine. Hes always been this big though even as a Junior in high school. He ended up tech falling me, with 3 seconds left in the period. My goal was just to not get pinned. After the match I even had a black eye from the crazy strong cross face he had.
I'd unironically consider this to be an all time great match. Not because it was close, but just the looks of both. One looks like he's a bodybuilder, and the other looks as if he just got done streaming Fortnite all night.
HOW is Bo SO good at that go behind? Like he’s skipping around the #4 kid in the country like it’s a middle school kid who tripped trying to hit a single. Just unreal.
i’ve long held this opinion, but Brucki doesn’t look like he was struggling even a little bit. he looks like he kind of gave up, he wasn’t trying to open up Nickal’s grip or move a leg, he just kind of spread out his arms in defeat.
why would princeton wrestler just walk out of bounds right after doing 95% of the work for an escape and 1 point...which bo was practically giving to him at that point...now he must start all over on the ground with 1 of the best wrestlers on top...definitely not an efficient use of his energy...in my opinion
man- he faked out Brucki with where he was going with that cradle lockup like Jordan Russell in the nba finals. He locked it so fast I had to rewind 3 times.
Brucki looks stacked in this video! Despite the match result, I bet Brucki could lift heavier weight than Bo in all aspects (Squats, bench, curls, etc.)
Dolf Dervish Because the first one is not a takedown, its a mat return. You get points everytime you do something in the match that results in you gaining complete control over your opponent, and since Nickal was already in control prior to the mat return, he didnt earn any points.
Bo said he didn't cut weight his senior year while I guarantee Brucki walks around at like 210 or 220. Bo may not have a super impressive physique but he's clearly strong af.
imagine being rated fourth, 32-1 and you just handled. my good friend said it best about Wrestling (fighting in general). "There's levels to this shit"
Good job Bo but yeah I don't see him at the 2020 games J'Den Cox has that locked up. He did get a gold in the U23 doh. I'd like to see Bo follow in Ed Ruth's path and get into submission grappling, mma not so much. He should go train with lovato in okc or Travis Stevens.
TF its only 2-1 ( o has 1:25 riding time) Brucki gave up at 3:20 no set up and a half azz shot... it was over then. Like he got paid to throw the match... just no heart in it
Because Bo was still on top so it just him staying on top. If Brucki escape an got 1 point and Bo did that then he would have gotten 2 points for a takedown.
Bo has leverage because of his technique. A much stronger man will lose to a man who is a bit weaker but a better Wrestler. Edit: Muscle also takes away from endurance. Take it from a guy who has Wrestled, BJJ. boxing, then powerlifting and bodybuilding lol. My lighter self would whip my heavier selfs ass probably haha.
At what point is a name a “household” name? I mean I’ve never heard of him. Almost nobody I know has heard of him and the fact your daughter said his name might have a little bit to do with the fact YOU are a wrestling announcer.....

Hillarious, he did a full circle
Your absolutely right. That ref circled looking at the angles. He got the right angle quickly, and called a pin exactly when he should have.
Brucki looks so physically mature it's hard to believe he's a true sophomore.

Yea nickal different breed
Nickal makes great wrestlers look not so good.
Bo also makes bad hairstyles look good.
Did he lose a bet?
And J'den made Bo look the same!
They nerf him yet ?
Should come in the next update according to Activision.

@@a.marentes9337 more info will be in the supply drops.
It says in the Epic Games patch notes that they are taking his special attack and stamina away by 5%.
Bruh they lied, they nerfed his shots that's it

We will truly miss watching Mr Nickal in the NCAA
Thomas Urben on to the world stage. I believe he will be better than Dake and Burroughs
For sure
@@TheDude-yw4kn you are a fucking idiot for thinking that
Well u can now watch him in the UFC, he just fought on the main card and made hype around him once again lol.

@@moonpiespotlight4759 i swear wrestling would be 100x more popular if the commentary was like that 😂

Insane, Bo looks so laidback and also looks weaker compared to Brucki. Truly shows how good Bo Nickal is...
This^^^

Absolute domination. Bo is truly a human wrecking ball
It was so fun to watch Bo. Absolute magician on the mat.
No one's going to say anything about the refs swiming moves toward the end. lol Killa officiating.
This guy in the UFC….definitely a career I’ll watch,for sure.😎
I'd unironically consider this to be an all time great match. Not because it was close, but just the looks of both. One looks like he's a bodybuilder, and the other looks as if he just got done streaming Fortnite all night.
Great content man, keep up the good work.
wow that's a rare finish for a D1 197lbs match! Nickal is a beast!
HOW is Bo SO good at that go behind? Like he’s skipping around the #4 kid in the country like it’s a middle school kid who tripped trying to hit a single. Just unreal.
Nickal's reach around is all the way to his opponents hip. Amazing
I guess nothing beats speed in this sport and Nickal had it in spades.
Sucks man. We didn't get to see how 197 played out this year at the tournament. Brucki, Moore, and Adams would've been amazing.
All 3 of Nickal's takedowns were scored on very soft attacks by Brucki on the legs which were too obvious and easy for Nickal to counter..
“Just shoot on me, I double dare you.” HARRRD to beat Bo Nickal when he’s this focused.
Brucki has such a weird stand up I’ve never seen one like it before
Aidan Oshea it’s called a pop up and it works pretty good but basically any stand up works good with the waist hand control
Det Yelram that how you should hit a stand up, literally explode up and really use back pressure to create space
@@firstnamelastname9215 Exactly
This guy is OP
Bo,Randy Lewis and Wade Schalles are the 3 most exciting wrstleds of all time says me.... Who else?😅
Imagine those kids at 6:28 thinking there gonna meet no nickal 😂
I go to psu n I met him in sams club buying meat with his girl lol
Astounding stuff!
Wtf was that 8 move set up
Bo is perhaps the only blue-haired grappler in the country that I can´t whip.
Brucki was 32-1 and he got abused by Nickel as if he were 1-32. Wow.
The thumbnail dident even have to watch but did anyway
same takedown three times
i’ve long held this opinion, but Brucki doesn’t look like he was struggling even a little bit. he looks like he kind of gave up, he wasn’t trying to open up Nickal’s grip or move a leg, he just kind of spread out his arms in defeat.
Yeah I saw that he didn’t even fight the grip or anything he just kinda took it.
Agree! Then again, I think Bo's strength was more than there in a BJ Penn sort of way. Deceptive until you wrestle him!
Bo doesn’t even looks like a small 184 😭. Yet dominated a top 5 opponent who’s a monster himself at 197. Crazy
Very interesting to watch how a smaller wrestler handles a kid who is very big and muscular.
Wooops. Make that 32 and 2. You go Bo! Making it look so easy!!
This dude is going to smash Pereria.
That pin set up was awesome!
it almost looked like some sort of fake attempt on the other leg
Yep this is at another fucking level
You can tell he keeps some moves secret from damn near anyone
Dude is jacked
great ref and great wrestling

Guys an absolute power house
Holy shit. Look how ripped Patrick is compared to bo. Skills over physique
That guys STRONG future hulk by the way
That announcer needs more Bo in his life...
man- he faked out Brucki with where he was going with that cradle lockup like Jordan Russell in the nba finals. He locked it so fast I had to rewind 3 times.
An example of speed and technique vs. strength and technique.
Brucki looks stacked in this video! Despite the match result, I bet Brucki could lift heavier weight than Bo in all aspects (Squats, bench, curls, etc.)
But this is wrestling, not powerlifting
Bo ...you beast.
Good job both men
Amazing that Nickal so easily mows through other D1 wrestlers who are talented state champ beasts in their own rights!
0:06 1:28 3:35 5:42
Nickal makes it look so easy
01:37: Nickal *dips* Brucki.
No points.
05:30 something: Teeny tiny move & Brucki basically goes to the mat.
2 points.
Why?
(I'm literally asking)
Dolf Dervish because in the first one nickal started on top so it was just a mat return not a takedown
Dolf Dervish Because the first one is not a takedown, its a mat return. You get points everytime you do something in the match that results in you gaining complete control over your opponent, and since Nickal was already in control prior to the mat return, he didnt earn any points.
His daughter did not randomly say Bo Nickal!!! Cool story though bro!
Haha!
Makes it look so easy
Nothing like aatching them struggle before finally being forcedcto submit.
So fucking smoothe
So effortless lol
How do they weigh the same? Bo obviously looks much smaller. Does he just have a higher muscle and bone density or what he doesn’t look taller?
Bo said he didn't cut weight his senior year while I guarantee Brucki walks around at like 210 or 220. Bo may not have a super impressive physique but he's clearly strong af.
imagine being rated fourth, 32-1 and you just handled. my good friend said it best about Wrestling (fighting in general). "There's levels to this shit"
A D1 wrestler, a 4th seed in a national tourney taking half azz shots smh. Deserved to get pinned.
You are in no place to criticize. You will never sniff this high of competition.
K.L. agreed its easy to think you know what to do when youre watching
dumbass
Watch the sammy brooks matches and see what happens to someone who gets too aggressive with nickal.
Relax folks, I get it you have a man crush for Nickal... If you been around the sport long enough, you know what a half azz effort.looks like
Bo Nickal is a freak of nature. 45 seconds Brucki shoots on a brick wall. Nope!
the refs forehead was on nickals arm to look for that pin
Why didn’t he fight hands when he was on his back
Yo the ref was checking what deodorant Bo was using. Up in there
I love the way Bo mixes jiu jitsu in there with the wrestling I would love to see him compete in MMA
Logan Bos I was. Thinking same thing. Put him in there with Khabib or Maia and see how he does
Sean Redman Nickal is a really good wrestler don’t get me wrong but calm down with facing Khabib or Maia
Some Loser well he would kill khabid due to wieght. maia tho is differrent
@chris madsen I wrestled for 6 years I know which is which
Where are you seeing the jiu jitsu?
Bruchi looks so much bigger
Bo went off!!
Brucki did not fight that cradle. He had enough
"Here we go" hahaha like if it was a ride
Seriously, holy shit. That last pin, he was definitely thinking, "aw hell, here we go."
1:36 howd he lift him with one hand like that
Did he just set up a body triangle
It's called the Peepee Exposer.
Levels.
Good job Bo but yeah I don't see him at the 2020 games J'Den Cox has that locked up. He did get a gold in the U23 doh. I'd like to see Bo follow in Ed Ruth's path and get into submission grappling, mma not so much. He should go train with lovato in okc or Travis Stevens.
You Mang bo nickal light-heavyweight in the ufc
They call him Bo Adderall for a reason.
Scary cradle. No one escaping that.
He was like dad holding his son. "Alright wife, give baby his milky bottle and then it's nap time."
Nickals snap, fuck
TF its only 2-1 ( o has 1:25 riding time) Brucki gave up at 3:20 no set up and a half azz shot... it was over then. Like he got paid to throw the match... just no heart in it
4:20
1:36 can anyone tell me why this doesn't count as a takedown?
Because Bo was still on top so it just him staying on top. If Brucki escape an got 1 point and Bo did that then he would have gotten 2 points for a takedown.
They move so fast for their weight bracket. Crazy.
197 isnt insane heavy
Plus theyre ripped and lean af🤣
Brucki spends all of his time in the weight room. Unfortunately for him, his opponent spends all his time wrestling.
Ok boomer

Make it to the UFC 155, and we will feed you to Arman for lunch buddy.
Wtf he fights at 185 ☠️
Why would he cut to 155?, he'd destroy them with respect
@@TopG20002 Your right, he couldnt make 155. He is prob gonna be a middleweight or light-heavy. We will see, he got a UFC contract I heard!
Bo has leverage because of his technique. A much stronger man will lose to a man who is a bit weaker but a better Wrestler.
Edit: Muscle also takes away from endurance. Take it from a guy who has Wrestled, BJJ. boxing, then powerlifting and bodybuilding lol. My lighter self would whip my heavier selfs ass probably haha.
