12/18/1998 Stephen Abas (Fresno State) vs Eric Guerrero (Oklahoma State)
Oklahoma State visits Fresno State December 18, 1998. Stephen Abas, then ranked number 2 in the nation at 126 following a 4th place finish the prior year at 118lbs and coming off of a Junior World title, bumped up to 133 to wrestle fellow Californian, 2x returning National Champion Senior Eric Guerrero.
A legendary match from two 3x NCAA Champions and 2004 Olympic teammates.
Here is an interview of Eric talking about the match many years later

    I saw the match in person. And yes Abas gave up 8 lbs. He made weight that day for 125 lbs. Guerrero did not realize that he was going to wrestle Abas that day until Abas did not step on the mat for the 125 lb match and he look across the mat and realize Abas was warming up for him. Great match.

    It would have been great if Spencer Lee had bumped up to wrestle RBY of Penn State in 2023.. Sigh😕.... But that didn't happen...And we were deprived of a great match....

      @@wolfwoof1870 It really would be. It'd really be a contrast in styles though! Abas was as good as any '18/'25 on his feet whereas Lee was as dominant as I can recall on top. It'd be one of those matchup's where I can see Lee getting a 16-4 major and then coming back and losing 11-4, giving up 5 TDs and a RT. I think you had to gameplan vs Lee more than Abas...but even with his upset loss to Ramos, two best lightweights I've ever seen(meaning...at the lightest weights).

      @sanitary103 5 лет назад

      Jack Schwartz you’re probably right but realistically, I don’t think Stephen would be able to ride Eric for very long. Also, I think he also did it out of showmanship b/c he’s known for his uncanny takedown ability.
