I really think the heavy weight bracket really does not get looked at very much for OW. People really still have that whole thought in their mind that they are just , to quote an earlier post in the subject, "When you think of a heavyweight you think of a large unfit adult body" rolling around on the mat until someone gets pinned. I know many many of times that the champion in the heavyweight bracket has pinned all the wrestlers in the 1st period and not received the honor. It is time for people to stay until the final match and watch some of the "new" heavy weights and realize that is some outstanding athletes that wrestle that division, it is not Sumo type bodies as people have in their mind.
Congratulations Duane! You have our vote for OW!
