If it had only been 2 pounds a 126 pounder would be able to make weight. I know this because I'm the wrestler who received this default so I know 2 pounds can come off within the alloted time. In this case maybe he wasn't seven but you can't say he was only 2 pounds or I would have had a match.

Another note this is a sport that is focused around making weight shouldn't we all worry more about wrestling and lower the amount of weight we cut just to win. I will admit in previous years I had cut some weight, but realizing this year that when you don't cut weight you have energy and love the sport way more. I feel this sport shouldn't be pushing kids to cut weight just to win. This is just a bad influence on young kids that can cause severe injuries.
