That being said, I see your point and agree that one could be flipped.

I'm aware they're predictions. Most of the time people would make predictions based on what they have noticed/observed. Making them educated guesses. Maybe you just forgot that result, which would be understandable.

I also know Napoli beat Alton but I predict that won't happen again. You are right though Napoli laid one on Hickman. I also know guys can catch fire early like Lou Ruggerillo and then just disappear.

Not only are you hilariously wrong about Evans, but you have 9 AA's at 174. Now THAT is impressive.

Hey, anyone remember what happened when Kokesh ran into Evans?

I didn't notice this but I want to echo the fact that this is silly...

Ness is WAY too sloppy right now to pose any sort of threat to Oliver.

**Zapp Brannigan** · 11-24-2012, 03:09 PM

Only guy I see giving Oliver any trouble is Chamberlain, and that's just because he's so fundamentally sound. I still think Oliver wins, though.

I said I wasn't done with 174...

Last I checked I whipped all your asses in Whippet Grapplers prediction contest last year.

Are you talking about the Mike Evans that pinned Cody Yohn then lost to him the next week in SV and then slid by him 5-4 at Big Ten's? Is that the one you are referring to? I just don't think he's going to have the same type of results up a weight especially against the Blanton's, Heflin's, Brown's and Storleys of the world. I could be wrong, won't be the first time. You guys realize this is for fun right?

Also the "during the season" jump in weight is always risky if you aren't Damion Hahn. Even if he's having trouble, he can make 165 and people he's wrestling are going to be larger than him. Though it's super early and he can fill out before the end of the year, but jumping up after the season starting is much tougher than spending a whole summer gaining muscle and filling into the weight.

Evans pre season was high 180 low 190 and trained in off season, only started to drop prior to wrestle offs.
