Alo is a fine wrestler with fine qualities. I mentioned her to Dan Gable, the famous Olympic Champion and coach. She is a pleasure to watch. She has a typical local charm and she has typical Kamehameha humility. Anyone going up against a stronger opponent is only going to learn from the experience. You gain from losing and you gain from winning. More so from losing, albeit that is not your preferred outcome.
I have tried winning and losing, I prefer winning. Women’s wrestling has come a long way from 1974 when “Jungle Julie” was fighting for the chance to wrestle. I have only the greatest respect for the girls who have signed for wrestling.

Challenge actually means “has a reasonable expectation to win”.

Brainwashed means “has been told that she has a reasonable expectation to win”.

I agree, Vasquez did an amazing job going into the second round with Alo and she wrestled her heart out like she always does. I give her major props for being the only one actually wanting to challenge Alo and not running away from her. Nice job Bre, keep doing what you’re doing and let no one stop you.

“Vasquez was brave enough to go against Alo while no one else in the league did.”

It’s not brave, it’s brainwashed. Vasquez was brainwashed by some moron Into wrestling Alo.

Now that Teshya Alo has made her home at 138, with nowhere else to go, will Vasquez be able to make it down to 132? This is one weight cut that will mean a championship or loss.

So making it to the 2nd round with Teshya is an accomplishment? Vasquez was playing total defense and did nothing on offense. The Lunas must be dreaming if they think Vasuez has a chance at beating Alo. Be careful of what you wish for Lahaina. Vasquez got a taste of losing thats why it went to the 2nd for those in the know.
