Son, he’s run sub 10 in the 100m, sub 20 in the 200m, sub 45 in the 400m, and broken 8.25m in the long jump. Not only is he not overrated, but he’s one of the best athletes in history and he’s only 24. You don’t understand track and field.
@msykes19 stop talking mystic stop talking there’s a high school kid running the 400 m that is going wrecked shop flushing hole radiators and it’s going to qualify for individual sports. Not a hype job.
@@darkenergy361That kid is historically all time great. If that's the standard for not being labeled overrated, then everyone else is over rated, minus the select few like mu, sydney, lyles and knighton.
Only person to ever go sub 10, sub 20, sub 45 and jump 8 meters in long jump. He did all of that while being overran and overtrained at Georgia. And he’s also only 24. You don’t know track.
@@bennipollner5240 He is special, not just as an athlete but as a decent human being. He stands out in most of his races and he does very well in most of them. He has the medals and recognition you or I will never get and he deserves them. In fact, he has more of those than the great majority of NCAA track athletes. On the world stage his medals have been in relays which is a team effort just like in basketball and football. Just like those sports winning bestows recognition and awards on each member of the team, whatever their skin color is. If he weren't so-called white he would not be getting all this hate and abuse. He takes it in stride and unlike a lot of athletes, he has been very generous with his NILS money which he has donated a lot of to help high school track programs. You don't have to be a world beater in an athletic competition to be a special person. Calling him trash and dumpster garbage as this blogger is doing is totally uncalled for and even disreputable.
He wasn't overrated bro but just like "Abby" both desperately need a coach who knows or has some knowledge of the true mechanics of technical training of the body angles to work together, just like most of the great "Jamaican" sprinter's( For instance "Eliane" or "Bolt" or go back into the dark ages sort of speaking when the "Jamai- can's" great sprinter "Donald Quary" was put on the computer at the time, & it said he had the perfect form of what all body angles should l👀k like at that time for a sprinter going forward super fast, he had a great coach who was quietly hid out second in command some what at USC at that time & working with other sprinter's who came to him in the dark to get taught or fine tuned to run 🏃♂️ faster, he was called the master Guru quietly 🤫 among his students at that time period & really was a hid legend of sorts 🤫the head coach would get all the glory for his sprinter's & the one who had the touch to get a sprinter going faster was left out of the equation sort of speaking, but those who knew who he was kept him in the background not on purpose, but that was kinda sorta the arrangement, the big time sprinter's at the time never really pushed him to the fore-front & since he worked for the "University" kinda part time with no real authority the system at the time kept him in the back ground along with the sprinter's & just picked up what they could & left him out & just kinda used him when they needed his service 😢, but would go see him for improvement, so what am I saying, just this, he was hired by the University to assist the head White coach & of course the coach was smart enough to let him train the sprinter's on the team & when they did well the coach would of course get the glory, & the real problem solver would be left out 👌🏻; it was really so unfair to the man & he himself was a "Jamaican" also; I said all that to say that very few coaches understand the true art 🎨 art of sprinting 🏃♂️ but most of all he understood the true mechanics of sprinting & also how to teach it to each individual sprinter ok; I say that all "Matt" & "Abby" need is the true art 🎨 of proper mechanics & how to apply it properly, the only coaches that I know of who has some knowledge of this of what I speak of are the two coaches over at "UCLA" & of course the two coaches over in "Jamaica" & even "Dennis" to some degree who coaches "Sha-Sha" & her two friends, but even he doesn't have full knowledge of what I speak of, tell you what grass🦗hopper, go check out "Sidney's" mechanics, it will explain what I'm speaking of, notice her arms & how her body mechanics are all beautifully aligned & working as 1 unit, all body parts going & geared working together to go forward 🛫🛫 which is exactly why she makes it l👀k so incredibly easy in the 4 💯 hurdle & the open 4 💯 & the open 2 💯 & the 💯 meter hurdle & even the 💯 meter dash, when the body angles are working properly & together as 1 the action will be extremely smooth & even across the board, & it will appear effortless, not many can do it like that cause not many coaches know how to teach it, nor understands how it works or how to teach it even if they did no a little bit, only a few in the world even have a clue of what I'm speaking of🤷👌🏻"Ace"🤣!!! Amen 🙏!!!
This video is is plain haterism . I don’t need to know that he is receiving a lot of attention media wise . We all know he is a fast white dude that can hang with the brothers most of the times . We know that’s why he is getting a bunch of attention. Can we agree he gets more attention (not his genetic fault) and that is not overrated like every respectable track folk are ranking him top whatever fast runner .? Just terrible that you put up a great video that is from haterism! My opinion! Live and let live! Again my opinion! I am a dark non white man before I start receiving any replies!
Nothing but facts. There are way more talented people who just do not get the attention they deserve. Has not improved during college unfortunately. They are all over hyped. Imagine if Sha'carrie had the right amount of melanin. We would never breathe. They struggling with Sydney because she is not 100% theirs.
@douzencamnden3551 There may be some more talented people. That is the case for all but one athlete at a time. However, now, is your chance to right this grievous wrong. Go ahead. Give them the recognition you say they deserve. However, be forewarned. Your selections can be nit picked too. Even the best get criticized but at least no one is calling Lyles or Coleman or Quincy Wilson trash just because they don't win every time. I want you to know that anyone with less than a perfect record can be called "overrated" but when it happens it does not give anyone the right to call that person "trash."
@@vernonfrance2974 nobody is calling anyone trash. Do you understand English? They are talking about PERFORMING on the track. NOT their individual personality.
@@Dentsun4228 I understood that he was not calling Boling trash, as a person, but as a track athlete. I have taught English and do not doubt I would do better on an English test than you. I also am fluent in Spanish. He was saying Boling is "trash" because he is not at an elite Olympic medal level in an individual event. I am saying that I agree that he is not on an elite level but he still has made the finals in the 400 twice, so his ability level is not "trash" or "garbage" or the other derogatory terms being used.
@@vernonfrance2974 there is more to understanding English than just knowing words. Deductive reasoning should tell you that dude is talking about the hype boling gets as an unaccomplished athlete is wildly disproportionate to his talent.
@@Dentsun4228 The way you say it is great: ". . .an unaccomplished athlete is wildly disproportionate to his talent." I don't agree with the word "unaccomplished" of course since he had great success in high school, post high school in the Pan Am Games, in the university winning titles and being named All American many times while scoring many points for the Georgia Bulldogs. Can you name one US citizen he scored more points for their college team than he did? Maybe dual citizen Fahnbulleh although I'm not even sure about that. Boling did go to the World Championships and helped his relay teams win gold. If that is not "accomplished" I don't know what is. Of course the interest in him was disproportionate because he was so highly touted in high school and then kept looking like he'd achieve a real breakthrough in college.
He is not overrated at all...he hasnt gotten same amount of press in college. If you watch the National Track media these days, he is not even on the radar screen !
@@Mr100kaday As if he has done nothing since high school except win five Pan American Gold Medals, been named to many All American teams in track, won NCAA medals including gold and silver and been on World Champion, World Record relay teams.
@@vernonfrance2974 The USA has never put their top 400m runners on a 4x400m mix relay team They are good 400m runners but they don't stand a chance at an individual medal in the open 400m.

I don’t think he’s overrated nobody picks him to win However he’s a hustler. I see him getting a lot of 4x4 medals at wc &oly he could possibly win a world indoor Medals get a few pan am & Nacac individual medals. He’s been focusing on the wrong events He should be 400m and long jump guy.

@@certifiedchaos4643 both of them are cooked and history has shown athletes that win nccaa titles suck at the pro level. The people who don’t win ncaa tend to have better careers
He has not qualified for an individual event and they bypass other athletes to be placed on relays. When he qualifies for an individual event then we can talk.
how is this racist? he is pointing out that boling is mediocre and unaccomplished. yet boling gets endorsements and hype on the level of a track superstar. in the meantime, there have been many, many, many guys more accomplished and who beat boling all the time and they NEVER got any of those accolades. THAT is racist af.
His biggest accomplishment is probably that blistering 20.12 indoor 200 to win the NCAA Championships. Also his 8.25 meter long jump (which would have won the trials yesterday). Maybe he should try out the jumps.
Boling is not uncoordinated. Heshould've become a decathlete. Coming out of high school, he was a 1000 point performer in the 100m, 400m, and LJ. He was a +2.0m high jumper and a 4.5m vaulter, events he barely practiced. He's tall and powerfully built. The only question mark was the 110h, which requires a lot of practice, but it wouldn't have been surprising with his speed and agility that he'd soon excel in that event too. He goes to Georgia, the premier decathlon school at the time. I really thought then that by 2024, he'd be throwing down 9000 points. Never happened.
He's a fast runner, you have to be at an elite level to make it to the finals of any event in the US trials. There's only 3 spots for individual events, so a lot of outstanding runners don't make the team. That said, I've never heard anyone saying he's the next Usain Bolt or anything, so I'm pushing back on overhype. Give him time and he'll come into his own in the 400m, he's still young.
He had great success in high school, post high school in the Pan Am Games, in the university winning titles and being named All American many times while scoring many points for the Georgia Bulldogs. Can you name one US citizen who scored more points for their college team than he did? Maybe dual citizen Fahnbulleh although I'm not even sure about that.

Of course the interest in him was disproportionate because he was so highly touted in high school and then kept looking like he'd achieve a real breakthrough in college. Some people rated him more highly because he was "white" and a lot dissed him more for the same reason.
@@vernonfrance2974 I’m not dissing Matt…I’m just calling things precisely as I see them. I like the young man, and I wish the best for him. Yes, he was great in high school and college, and he’s done very well on the big stage relays…none of this am I bashing. I’m just stating when we really pay attention, there are about a million blacks who outperform him and aren’t even mentioned. Not calling it racist, but I think it is simply a mater of fact that just like we have a black person, hispanic person, etc., be the first to achieve something, we also have the first white person to achieve something, and it is highly celebrated…rightfully so. Yet, the reality is he’s not a top contender as a pro, and there are tons of folks who way outperform him on this level. Lots of folks do great in school and the lower ranks, then flop in the pros. In fact, it seems to be a running theme in this sport that the NCAA Champions are nothing in the pros. I wish Matt the best because he does have talent, but he needs to step it up tons to get to where he wants and needs to be, and I do think he needs to focus on the 400M for now, because it will likely give him insane 100/200 strength when he’s in his upper 20’s.
@@stevie586 I am not saying he is the best but I am just not going along with the idea that he is not still quite good. For example, in the US he won the SEC 200m outdoors beating Joseph Fahnbulleh. Then Joseph Fahnbulleh defeated him outdoors in the NCAA's. Fahnbulleh went on to finish fifth in the Olympics running for Liberia. So, there were not a million blacks as you you spoke of in jest perhaps, who could or did beat him. The next year he ran in the 400m in the US Trials and he finished 6th before being selected to go to the relays in Budapest. Once again, he defeated all but five so he was in the upper echelon. His relay team won. This year he made the finals but went out too fast as did the eventual second place finisher Michael Norman. He was gassed and finished 8th and next to last. He did not get invited to be on the relay team. Still, there are not that many who would finish ahead of him even in that less than stellar race which was slower than he'd run in the prelims. He is not an individual medal winner but neither are millions of others, regardless of color. By the way, you are right about the possibility of seeing others doing well. I am amazed at Louie Hinchliffe of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He won the NCAA's and is at least half Pinoy. I don't know about his father who is English but his ancestry has not been divulged. Louie will represent G.B. and N.I. in the Olympics.
@@vernonfrance2974 I totally get what you’re saying and you’re making plenty sense. I watched his entire college career with the back and forth with Laird, as well as big Joe. I definitely do not dispute he was at the top of his game in college. I’m referring to all the black pros we have on that level…whereas Matt beat the best in school, he’s just one of the guys in the pros. It isn’t that Matt is bad; it’s just that USA has way too much talent! By the way, apparently the shoe companies do not have much faith in him either…did you know Matt is currently unattached? I cannot imagine why someone has not yet picked him up!
UGA was a mistake especially with so many competitive track programs in TX and FL if he wanted to stay closer to home. Because of the sheer competitiveness, it can be difficult to make the transition from great in college to greater in the pros.
Boling will be in the finals of the 400m today. He will probably finish in the second half of the field. That means anyone he beats will also be 'trash' by your standards, right?
He is a business school graduate and is already a multi-millionaire. He will not have to be a middle school coach although he does contribute to high school track programs with his NILS income. ruclips.net/video/NFQJXanQrHM/видео.html
Matt is used on Team USA recently on the mixed 4x400 relay,and they're winning; so quit splitting atoms with this " getting the job done" runner,he's doing just fine- Thank you .
He had horrible coaching at Georgia, which put him a few years behind most elite athletes. Despite that, he still won a few indoor and outdoor NCAA titles, and he's also been part of world champion relay teams. What he needs now is a coach who can bring him to the next level.
@@TheRealSnowCat sure. Blame the coach. Because Georgia hasn't produced any standout athletes lately. Face it, he was NEVER a true talent. All Georgia did was expose his mediocrity.
You ended your video with a name I did not expect you to come out of your mouth: Jeremy Wariner .. have you dedicated any video to him ? if you did I will look for it
Its amusing to hear this perspective. I follow alot of t&f - for 45 years - and I don't even think I've noticed this guy, before. But, yet, this young guy doing a trifling pod of the 100 heats, was specifically looking for Bolling. And I'm like, "who??" - and why are you not highlighting Lyes, Bednardik, etc - why the hell are you seeking out this Bolling kid.
Because of his coach had any sense he would train hi for the decathlon and leave these individual events alone. He is slowly put surely dwindling out of the picture each and every year just like the Prandinis….. textbook
steiner got smoked yesterday lol lmao boling will get smoked today to if he runs the 100 m lol lmao both white hypes right now boling more overrated than steiner tho
Okay,does Matt Boling write his own press clippings? Did he overrate himself? I'm Black I got nothing against him. So were you a Track All American? Did you compete in the Olympics? Did you put the work in? Mouth almighty,tongue everlasting.
Mathew was good in college and Highschool but he haven't gotten any hype professionally I don't think. My buddy was one of the track coaches at de Soto when boling ran down one of his kids.
@Page1travelfitness Nonsense. He would be just as highly touted and recognized if he were "black" as he has a better resume than the vast majority of his US contemporaries. Search his Wikipedia article and find out how much he actually did accomplish. Then search someone else's who is suitably "black" enough for you.
@@vernonfrance2974 bs I don’t know what world you living in but my grandma use to say pus and dog don’t have the same luck ! Anywhere you go in this world the lighter your skin the better you’ll have it!
@@Page1travelfitness Light skinned people are much more likely to get skin cancer. That can lead to metastasis and a fatal result. I hardly see how that means the lighter your skin the better you'll have it. People fail to recognize that in the US there are more so-called white kids living in poverty than so-called blacks, latinos or Native Americans. Do you think that poverty is fun for someone with a light skin any more than for any other color skin? I am not saying that it is OK if people do not have the basic necessities. It is terrible that this is allowed to happen regardless as to how the children appear to onlookers. ALL children and adults NEED DECENT CONDITIONS, RESPECT AND LOVE.
I think his nutrition was for a football player during college, not a track guy and got a little thick. He is big bone enough to play football and run over Mr 100k A day who cant run jack.
He is one of the most overrated athletes in track and field history. Very talented and versatile but had NEVER won an NCAA outdoor title and will NEVER qualify individually for the Olympics or World Champs.
Y'all love to diss Boling and you emphasize that he got a light color skin. He was very good in high school so a lot of people expected continual improvements after high school and in the pros. However, even though he has been way above average for college, he has not been a world beater so people like to put him down when he doesn't come out on top or near the top in the finals. He definitely did not do his best in the finals of the 400m because he went out way too fast and had nothing left. Nevertheless, there is one area where he has set a great example for successful college and pro athletes. Colleges are glad to snap up foreign students and give them the benefit of our training and competitive experiences while our own youth are pretty much being short shrifted unless they have parents, like Quincy Wilson, who really support him and even relocated to get him into the elite track program at Bullis. So what has Boling done? He donates money to high school track programs even though he has not been as highly compensated as most other NILS and Pro athletes have been. ruclips.net/video/NFQJXanQrHM/видео.html
Come on man! The wind? ...and the other runners DIDN'T have the wind? I will admit that Matt seems to have fizzled after high school, but to just write off his high school runs as it's because the wind? Stop hating.
Boling is very talented and has good records in all the sprints as well as the long and high jump. It's silly to blame him or wish him ill because of the way American society treats him because he's white in "predominantly black events" . Your arguments make little sense, you said Duplantis is trash because he has no competition from black ppl. Then do a video like this saying Boling is trash because he operates and does well with competition from black ppl but not well enough. Then you talk about Bromell that is and has found success in only the 100 m. Boling has a better record across multiple events. Silly to come for Boling when he's obviously a great talent, young and still trying to find out what he should focus on. Your analysis is "garbage juice"!
Stop being foolish. You can not like the guy but he has literally achieved something that no more than 1-2 others have done in history of track and field. (Long Jump, 200, 100, 400 pb’s) He’s just settling into finding his event and will probably be on the US Olympic 4x400 team.
Bro over rated is when people in the know pick him to win, when has that ever happened? Mark Henry was overrated there where people actually picking him to win the Olympic weight lifting and he didn't even make top 8 which would be like making the finales in track 100m Boling did make finals in NCAA D1 in 100 and 200 so he was ligate fast. People just wanna see something different, Tiger Woods wouldn't have made half the money and attention if he was white.
@Mr100kaday Tiger was popular because he was black in a sport that wasn't never said he wasn't good but I wouldn't have ever heard of him if he was white. If Boling was black no one would of heard of him.
facts, I thought he was real but only in high school, I actually followed this guy in IG after the highlights, wish him luck in life like all youngsters but he's definitely overrated, jus sayin
LOL !!! Haters gonna hate. He is in an exclusive one man club. No black athlete has ever matched him across those four events. He needs to drop body weight, not gain.
No pun but I think he's just tryna get in where he fit in. Although I do agree he gets way too much attn & accolades based on PAST performances. Last month at the Edwin Moses games in ATL the only person to get more audience cheers than him was Sidney McLauglin, but u could see the immediate embarrassment on the faces of those grp of blk girls when everybody in the stance looked at them like huh? 🙄 for their failed support of all the more deserving & superb blk athletes.. It was cringe AF 🤦🏿♂️😔
@@lilcourtny08 Bowling ran faster in the prelims and so did Wilson. I think Bowling followed Michael Norman's lead and Norman made that same mistake too. Bowling has run fewer individual 400 races than Wilson since he's been more in to the 100 and 200 m. He won the SEC 200's which is something the likes of which Wilson will never do. Just because he's precocious does not mean he'll continue to progress because there are no guarantees or hard and fast rules.
@@TunesOfTheEarth he doesn't have to be great at it... He would get all of his points in sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws... Just need to clear a height or two
Abby Steiner is actually way above Boling if you think about it. She's an Indoor and Outdoor 200m NCAA champ and she is also a National champ in the open 200 and her times do actually put her as one of the fastest Americans of all time in the 200. She also did run a scorching relay leg on the 4x1 and a fast 4x4 leg at Worlds and came through there on the big stage. Boling isn't even close to those achievements despite his decent PBs. If Abby is the Great White Hope, Boling is only the White Hope.
You are not "spitting facts." The kid is talented by any measure. He is not overrated. This post is suspect. You are mentioning the race of multiple athletes. Why? What difference does it make?
this channel is everything that's wrong with track and field. what's the point of this video? certainly not to build the sport. so... tear down athletes? also, whose fault is it if he's overrated?🤔
Boling is THE ONLY person to EVER run a sub 45/400, a sub 20/200, and a sub 10/ 100 (all conditions). Not Bolt, Lewis, or ANYONE has ever achieved that feat. Matt should receive much more recognition for what he has done than he gets now.
Boling is in Semi #1 tomorrow with Chris Bailey, Quincy Hall & Justin Robinson. 24yr old Boling as an 8m+ jumper should've been taking advantage of how weak the US Men's LJ has been over the last few yrs! Since moving up to the 400m last yr, he's run 44.94 & 44.98. In comparison, GB's 24yr old Charlie Dobson since moving up to the 400m as well in that time has run 44.38, 44.46 & 44.65 splitting multiple 43s for GB's 4x4 Teams.
MOST athletes do not make the big time in the pros even after doing very well in college. Boling may not be the exception to this general rule but I don't see you calling any of the "black" athletes who don't make the transition "trash." Why is that? And to generalize that "white" athletes are "uncoordinated" is a very ridiculous claim. As you say, we really don't know Boling's genetic code. He has a surname that is very common among the Melungeon of the Appalachian Mountains - Boling or Bowling. The Melungeon are mixed combining black, white and native American ancestry. I do not know if he actually is Melungeon descended on his father's side but it is possible. He gets a whole lot of attention because he's been famous for a long time. People don't know a lot of the new faces out there and besides, in the 100m NCAA finals this year, FOR EXAMPLE, the first seven places went to foreign athletes. The only two from the US were eighth and ninth (Z Beard and Lance Lang.) Lang like Boling, had great hype out of high school. You compared Boling to Joseph Fahnbulleh. He beat Fahnbulleh for the SEC Championship in the 200 m indoors and outdoors in 2022. Men's 200 Meters FinalsW: 0.3 PL NAME YEAR TEAM TIME SC 1 Matthew Boling SO-2 Georgia 20.01 10 2 Joseph Fahnbulleh SO-2 Florida 20.13 8 3 Dorian Camel JR-3 LSU 20.43 6 4 Evan Miller JR-3 South Carolina 20.46 5 5 Demetrius Jackson JR-3 Alabama 20.48 4 6 Tarsis Orogot FR-1 Alabama 20.54 3 7 Lance Lang SO-2 Kentucky 20.59 2 8 Connor Washington FR-1 Arkansas 20.60 1 9 Jacob Smith JR-3 Kentucky 20.82 www.tfrrs.org/results/74844/4555621/SEC_Outdoor_Track__Field_Championships/Mens-200-Meters He lost to Fahnbulleh in the NCAA championships but still finished second.

By the way his World Championship in the Mixed 4 x 400m is nothing to sneeze at. He's also won the 4 x 400 men's event at the World Championship. Running relays, like basketball and football, is a team effort and that requires more than speed but also finesse and COORDINATION.
He's not overrated. No one ever predicts him to be on any US team. That makes him pretty much rated in his proper place. You might say his more famous than his talents merit.
In this day and age, whenever we try--and we should--to be objective, we're told we're "haters." This was the same when I did talk about Jenna Prandini, then Abby Steiner and this dude--Boling. But then I realized that is the fans and the media who actually create all the hype, the bells ringing, the fanfare, the mental masturbation and the expectations. Most fans--at least the ones that berate me--are highly emotional more so than rational and objective. They have, or rather tried, to insult me with all kinds of ad hominem, but what they have not been able to do is to prove me wrong. These three have not beaten anyone on the big stage. In 2023 world championship in Eugene, Oregon, both Prandini and Steiner got beaten by a bunch of old women from the Caribbean. Then they [inserted] both in the 100 and 200m (a tokenism so they can feel good about themselves) to beat a Jamaican team that even my grandmothers could have beaten. Thanks to Melisa Jefferson--and not Steiner--was able to barely beat Shericka Jackson. Jamaica had only Shelly Ann-Frazier and Shericka Jackson as the two stronger in the 4x100m and 4x200m--that's it. They could have been beaten by anyone.
He’s also juicing 100k look at his progression from High School. I saw it somewhere on YT as a 9th grader he was running high 12 sec for 100m and damn near 30 sec for 200 m then all of a sudden 12 grade he runs under 10 wind aided. Not buying it with that genetic code 🙄🤷🏿
He deserves his ratings, black white, brown or blue, anyone running sub 10,Sub 20 and 44 point deserves recognition...plus he's a long jumper! How much do YOU know about track?
No he has at least one legal sub 10. Boling is a fantastic athlete by any measure. It seems to me that this RUclipsr is unwilling to acknowledge this simply because Boling is white. In my book, that's racism.
@kashkaMH1 That is true. It is because he's white, but there's also many other factors around that which becomes an issue. The main one being he's getting all this attention because he's white, but in reality it's not like it hasn't been done dozens of times by the average black person or even white person before and didn't get this much acknowledgement. Because Boling, realistically, is not going to be anything MAJOR. He's really good as an athlete. Yes. But in those respective fields he's not attaining anything absurd.
Say what you will about Boling, but you can't run under 10 seconds unless you have the elite genetics to do so, you can't train or dope to achieve this. The biggest criticism of Boling is a lack of consistency, which is caused by either overtraining or psychological issues. Boling seems to have a problem peaking too early or late in the season. Asafa Powell has the record for sprinters who've run the most sub-10s in the 100m but would perform poorly in big meets due to folding from the pressure. I do agree with you regarding the double standards of media attention and sponsorships that are racially motivated, but that doesn't remove the fact that Boling has elite genetics. You can acknowledge both racism and this fact.
Lets talk about what's good about Boling? His stride is what makes him so good. it obviously works and he had it his Sr in High School. He was not able to get great gains from this point. But his stats include a true sub 10.00 100m, sub 20.00 200m, many indoor low 20.x 200m, sub 45 in the 400m and the 8.25 long jump. What can he do to get better? I felt he could add more power to his frame via olympic lifts and squats, perhaps add 5-7 lb of explosive muscle and add more muscle to his frame... His stride would would be cleaner an more powerful even more sharper like Asafa Powell.
I believe the correction definition for Matt Boling is over-hyped. I remember hearing he would break the 100 meter world record in a couple years after high school. Every race, many had excuses why he did not win. One NCAA Championship in 5 years of college is respectable, but NOT impressive.
Matt boling is chill asf and just doing what he do, not his fault the USATF and his fan base pushing him so hard.
Great comment!
Son, he’s run sub 10 in the 100m, sub 20 in the 200m, sub 45 in the 400m, and broken 8.25m in the long jump. Not only is he not overrated, but he’s one of the best athletes in history and he’s only 24. You don’t understand track and field.
@msykes19 stop talking mystic stop talking there’s a high school kid running the 400 m that is going wrecked shop flushing hole radiators and it’s going to qualify for individual sports. Not a hype job.
Not nearly one of the best but hes very talented.

Overrated kid, nothing special😂
@@bennipollner5240 He is special, not just as an athlete but as a decent human being. He stands out in most of his races and he does very well in most of them. He has the medals and recognition you or I will never get and he deserves them. In fact, he has more of those than the great majority of NCAA track athletes. On the world stage his medals have been in relays which is a team effort just like in basketball and football. Just like those sports winning bestows recognition and awards on each member of the team, whatever their skin color is.
If he weren't so-called white he would not be getting all this hate and abuse. He takes it in stride and unlike a lot of athletes, he has been very generous with his NILS money which he has donated a lot of to help high school track programs. You don't have to be a world beater in an athletic competition to be a special person. Calling him trash and dumpster garbage as this blogger is doing is totally uncalled for and even disreputable.
He wasn't overrated bro but just like "Abby" both desperately need a coach who knows or has some knowledge of the true mechanics of technical training of the body angles to work together, just like most of the great "Jamaican" sprinter's( For instance "Eliane" or "Bolt" or go back into the dark ages sort of speaking when the "Jamai- can's" great sprinter "Donald Quary" was put on the computer at the time, & it said he had the perfect form of what all body angles should l👀k like at that time for a sprinter going forward super fast, he had a great coach who was quietly hid out second in command some what at USC at that time & working with other sprinter's who came to him in the dark to get taught or fine tuned to run 🏃♂️ faster, he was called the master Guru quietly 🤫 among his students at that time period & really was a hid legend of sorts 🤫the head coach would get all the glory for his sprinter's & the one who had the touch to get a sprinter going faster was left out of the equation sort of speaking, but those who knew who he was kept him in the background not on purpose, but that was kinda sorta the arrangement, the big time sprinter's at the time never really pushed him to the fore-front & since he worked for the "University" kinda part time with no real authority the system at the time kept him in the back ground along with the sprinter's & just picked up what they could & left him out & just kinda used him when they needed his service 😢, but would go see him for improvement, so what am I saying, just this, he was hired by the University to assist the head White coach & of course the coach was smart enough to let him train the sprinter's on the team & when they did well the coach would of course get the glory, & the real problem solver would be left out 👌🏻; it was really so unfair to the man & he himself was a "Jamaican" also; I said all that to say that very few coaches understand the true art 🎨 art of sprinting 🏃♂️ but most of all he understood the true mechanics of sprinting & also how to teach it to each individual sprinter ok; I say that all "Matt" & "Abby" need is the true art 🎨 of proper mechanics & how to apply it properly, the only coaches that I know of who has some knowledge of this of what I speak of are the two coaches over at "UCLA" & of course the two coaches over in "Jamaica" & even "Dennis" to some degree who coaches "Sha-Sha" & her two friends, but even he doesn't have full knowledge of what I speak of, tell you what grass🦗hopper, go check out "Sidney's" mechanics, it will explain what I'm speaking of, notice her arms & how her body mechanics are all beautifully aligned & working as 1 unit, all body parts going & geared working together to go forward 🛫🛫 which is exactly why she makes it l👀k so incredibly easy in the 4 💯 hurdle & the open 4 💯 & the open 2 💯 & the 💯 meter hurdle & even the 💯
meter dash, when the body angles are working properly & together as 1 the action will be extremely smooth & even across the board, & it will appear effortless, not many can do it like that cause not many coaches know how to teach it, nor understands how it works or how to teach it even if they did no a little bit, only a few in the world even have a clue of what I'm speaking of🤷👌🏻"Ace"🤣!!! Amen 🙏!!!
How did he do in the 400 trials? Lol
This video is is plain haterism . I don’t need to know that he is receiving a lot of attention media wise . We all know he is a fast white dude that can hang with the brothers most of the times . We know that’s why he is getting a bunch of attention.

Even the best get criticized but at least no one is calling Lyles or Coleman or Quincy Wilson trash just because they don't win every time.

I don't agree with the word "unaccomplished" of course since he had great success in high school, post high school in the Pan Am Games, in the university winning titles and being named All American many times while scoring many points for the Georgia Bulldogs. Can you name one US citizen he scored more points for their college team than he did? Maybe dual citizen Fahnbulleh although I'm not even sure about that. Boling did go to the World Championships and helped his relay teams win gold.
If that is not "accomplished" I don't know what is. Of course the interest in him was disproportionate because he was so highly touted in high school and then kept looking like he'd achieve a real breakthrough in college.

That's a good question. Why DO white people focus on race and hype a guy like Bolling? When he's an average, at best, talent?
His biggest accomplishment is probably that blistering 20.12 indoor 200 to win the NCAA Championships. Also his 8.25 meter long jump (which would have won the trials yesterday). Maybe he should try out the jumps.
Boling is not uncoordinated. Heshould've become a decathlete. Coming out of high school, he was a 1000 point performer in the 100m, 400m, and LJ. He was a +2.0m high jumper and a 4.5m vaulter, events he barely practiced. He's tall and powerfully built. The only question mark was the 110h, which requires a lot of practice, but it wouldn't have been surprising with his speed and agility that he'd soon excel in that event too. He goes to Georgia, the premier decathlon school at the time. I really thought then that by 2024, he'd be throwing down 9000 points. Never happened.
He's a fast runner, you have to be at an elite level to make it to the finals of any event in the US trials. There's only 3 spots for individual events, so a lot of outstanding runners don't make the team. That said, I've never heard anyone saying he's the next Usain Bolt or anything, so I'm pushing back on overhype. Give him time and he'll come into his own in the 400m, he's still young.

@@vernonfrance2974 I’m not dissing Matt…I’m just calling things precisely as I see them. I like the young man, and I wish the best for him. Yes, he was great in high school and college, and he’s done very well on the big stage relays…none of this am I bashing. I’m just stating when we really pay attention, there are about a million blacks who outperform him and aren’t even mentioned. Not calling it racist, but I think it is simply a mater of fact that just like we have a black person, hispanic person, etc., be the first to achieve something, we also have the first white person to achieve something, and it is highly celebrated…rightfully so. Yet, the reality is he’s not a top contender as a pro, and there are tons of folks who way outperform him on this level. Lots of folks do great in school and the lower ranks, then flop in the pros. In fact, it seems to be a running theme in this sport that the NCAA Champions are nothing in the pros. I wish Matt the best because he does have talent, but he needs to step it up tons to get to where he wants and needs to be, and I do think he needs to focus on the 400M for now, because it will likely give him insane 100/200 strength when he’s in his upper 20’s.
@@stevie586 I am not saying he is the best but I am just not going along with the idea that he is not still quite good.
For example, in the US he won the SEC 200m outdoors beating Joseph Fahnbulleh. Then Joseph Fahnbulleh defeated him outdoors in the NCAA's. Fahnbulleh went on to finish fifth in the Olympics running for Liberia. So, there were not a million blacks as you you spoke of in jest perhaps, who could or did beat him.
The next year he ran in the 400m in the US Trials and he finished 6th before being selected to go to the relays in Budapest. Once again, he defeated all but five so he was in the upper echelon. His relay team won.
This year he made the finals but went out too fast as did the eventual second place finisher Michael Norman. He was gassed and finished 8th and next to last. He did not get invited to be on the relay team. Still, there are not that many who would finish ahead of him even in that less than stellar race which was slower than he'd run in the prelims.
He is not an individual medal winner but neither are millions of others, regardless of color.
By the way, you are right about the possibility of seeing others doing well. I am amazed at Louie Hinchliffe of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He won the NCAA's and is at least half Pinoy. I don't know about his father who is English but his ancestry has not been divulged. Louie will represent G.B. and N.I. in the Olympics.
@@vernonfrance2974 I totally get what you’re saying and you’re making plenty sense. I watched his entire college career with the back and forth with Laird, as well as big Joe. I definitely do not dispute he was at the top of his game in college. I’m referring to all the black pros we have on that level…whereas Matt beat the best in school, he’s just one of the guys in the pros. It isn’t that Matt is bad; it’s just that USA has way too much talent! By the way, apparently the shoe companies do not have much faith in him either…did you know Matt is currently unattached? I cannot imagine why someone has not yet picked him up!
UGA was a mistake especially with so many competitive track programs in TX and FL if he wanted to stay closer to home. Because of the sheer competitiveness, it can be difficult to make the transition from great in college to greater in the pros.
Boling will be in the finals of the 400m today. He will probably finish in the second half of the field. That means anyone he beats will also be 'trash' by your standards, right?
He's gonna be a great middle school coach .

He does a lot of events... all the time. Either train him multis, or specialize a sprint event, and jump.
Y'all love to diss Boling and you emphasize that he got a light color skin. He was very good in high school so a lot of people expected continual improvements after high school and in the pros. However, even though he has been way above average for college, he has not been a world beater so people like to put him down when he doesn't come out on top or near the top in the finals. He definitely did not do his best in the finals of the 400m because he went out way too fast and had nothing left.
Nevertheless, there is one area where he has set a great example for successful college and pro athletes. Colleges are glad to snap up foreign students and give them the benefit of our training and competitive experiences while our own youth are pretty much being short shrifted unless they have parents, like Quincy Wilson, who really support him and even relocated to get him into the elite track program at Bullis.
So what has Boling done? He donates money to high school track programs even though he has not been as highly compensated as most other NILS and Pro athletes have been.
ruclips.net/video/NFQJXanQrHM/видео.html
He's still the first American White male to run sub-10 for the 100m, with a legal wind. Only 3 White Americans have done it, so far.
but he cant make a usa team to save his life. Tells you alot about who he really is. What he do...black athletes do daily. Im not impressed
Come on man! The wind? ...and the other runners DIDN'T have the wind? I will admit that Matt seems to have fizzled after high school, but to just write off his high school runs as it's because the wind? Stop hating.
Quincy Wilson is getting a ton of attention right now. Don't worry about that.
Boling is very talented and has good records in all the sprints as well as the long and high jump. It's silly to blame him or wish him ill because of the way American society treats him because he's white in "predominantly black events" .
Your arguments make little sense, you said Duplantis is trash because he has no competition from black ppl. Then do a video like this saying Boling is trash because he operates and does well with competition from black ppl but not well enough.
Then you talk about Bromell that is and has found success in only the 100 m. Boling has a better record across multiple events.
Silly to come for Boling when he's obviously a great talent, young and still trying to find out what he should focus on.
Your analysis is "garbage juice"!
I think Matt Boling should quit track and take up bowling, u feel me?
lol...sure
Stop being foolish.
You can not like the guy but he has literally achieved something that no more than 1-2 others have done in history of track and field. (Long Jump, 200, 100, 400 pb’s) He’s just settling into finding his event and will probably be on the US Olympic 4x400 team.
He should move to Decathlon, because all of His Times are Just decent 😅
Bro over rated is when people in the know pick him to win, when has that ever happened?

I don’t think there are a lot of men who are sub 10, sub 20, sub 45 and jumped over 8 meters in long jump. I think he is the only one.
LOL !!! Haters gonna hate. He is in an exclusive one man club. No black athlete has ever matched him across those four events. He needs to drop body weight, not gain.
Muscle is functional mass, in Boling's case, the added muscle would help him with his poor biomechanics.
Hes not nearly as overrated as prefontane.

He is running faster 400m than Bowling and he is 16. Erryoion Knight is faster 5 years younger.
@@lilcourtny08 Bowling ran faster in the prelims and so did Wilson. I think Bowling followed Michael Norman's lead and Norman made that same mistake too. Bowling has run fewer individual 400 races than Wilson since he's been more in to the 100 and 200 m. He won the SEC 200's which is something the likes of which Wilson will never do. Just because he's precocious does not mean he'll continue to progress because there are no guarantees or hard and fast rules.
@@vernonfrance2974 he never won the SEC 200m outdoors. Quincy Wilson is also 16 running faster 400m time.
@@lilcourtny08 Erriyon Knighton's already won a medal on the World Stage and he has the U18 record for the 200m..
@@vernonfrance2974 so what has Boling done? He won nothing outdoors in college and flamed out again on the world stage
Weird hate video
He should just do the long jump
decathlon
this has to be the funniest video i've ever seen
Color? Why…? Racism…much….
Racist.
Boiling is used as just another the GWH; same as Prandini and Steiner.
of course
Finished dead last. I got tired of seeing folks hype him. He needs to be a decathlon athlete
😂😂🤣
I love how a 16 year old beat this man 😂
me too
He wasn't the only one, so I hope you love that, too.
But I bet you don't because you're a r@c!st.
He needs move to decathlon
Not a bad idea with that excellent 8.25 meter long jump, but if he didn't start learning the pole vault five years ago we'd be fearful of the reslt.
@@TunesOfTheEarth he doesn't have to be great at it... He would get all of his points in sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws... Just need to clear a height or two
@@kimtoncoleman8934 Well, you know what they say friend: "You can't win a decathlon on one event, but you can definitely lose one."
Abby Steiner is actually way above Boling if you think about it. She's an Indoor and Outdoor 200m NCAA champ and she is also a National champ in the open 200 and her times do actually put her as one of the fastest Americans of all time in the 200. She also did run a scorching relay leg on the 4x1 and a fast 4x4 leg at Worlds and came through there on the big stage. Boling isn't even close to those achievements despite his decent PBs. If Abby is the Great White Hope, Boling is only the White Hope.
You are not "spitting facts." The kid is talented by any measure. He is not overrated. This post is suspect. You are mentioning the race of multiple athletes. Why? What difference does it make?
this channel is everything that's wrong with track and field. what's the point of this video? certainly not to build the sport. so... tear down athletes? also, whose fault is it if he's overrated?🤔
Excellent comment. On point.
You are doing a great disservice.
Boling is THE ONLY person to EVER run a sub 45/400, a sub 20/200, and a sub 10/ 100 (all conditions). Not Bolt, Lewis, or ANYONE has ever achieved that feat. Matt should receive much more recognition for what he has done than he gets now.
Funny cause with those stats....he hasnt made a team individually, has no medals , no records , no ncaa outdoor titles....nothing
Boling is in Semi #1 tomorrow with Chris Bailey, Quincy Hall & Justin Robinson. 24yr old Boling as an 8m+ jumper should've been taking advantage of how weak the US Men's LJ has been over the last few yrs! Since moving up to the 400m last yr, he's run 44.94 & 44.98. In comparison, GB's 24yr old Charlie Dobson since moving up to the 400m as well in that time has run 44.38, 44.46 & 44.65 splitting multiple 43s for GB's 4x4 Teams.
MOST athletes do not make the big time in the pros even after doing very well in college.
Boling may not be the exception to this general rule but I don't see you calling any of the "black" athletes who don't make the transition "trash." Why is that? And to generalize that "white" athletes are "uncoordinated" is a very ridiculous claim.
As you say, we really don't know Boling's genetic code. He has a surname that is very common among the Melungeon of the Appalachian Mountains - Boling or Bowling. The Melungeon are mixed combining black, white and native American ancestry. I do not know if he actually is Melungeon descended on his father's side but it is possible.
He gets a whole lot of attention because he's been famous for a long time. People don't know a lot of the new faces out there and besides, in the 100m NCAA finals this year, FOR EXAMPLE, the first seven places went to foreign athletes. The only two from the US were eighth and ninth (Z Beard and Lance Lang.) Lang like Boling, had great hype out of high school.
You compared Boling to Joseph Fahnbulleh. He beat Fahnbulleh for the SEC Championship in the 200 m indoors and outdoors in 2022.

So, calling him trash is pretty ridiculous IMO.
By the way his World Championship in the Mixed 4 x 400m is nothing to sneeze at. He's also won the 4 x 400 men's event at the World Championship. Running relays, like basketball and football, is a team effort and that requires more than speed but also finesse and COORDINATION.
He's not overrated. No one ever predicts him to be on any US team. That makes him pretty much rated in his proper place. You might say his more famous than his talents merit.
Wasp fan base push him up to hard😂
Bowling still good national athlete but not a world class Guy
Is he serious? He is not dumpster juice but he is trash? Wow.
I think he'd break the world record for the DECATHLON - jack of all trades is his strength. He'd be unbeatable in the decathlon.
It’s not his fault that people react the way they do
Agreed, he ran that 9.98 wind-aided 100m in hs that got huge attention, but after that to me he has received normal T&F coverage
His genetic code??? You mean his skin color ? Whew comin from a person of your genetic code that is rich.
Racist title.
How many people in history has a sub-10 100m, sub-20 200m, sub-45 400m, and 8m+ long jump?
(As well as a 20.12 (6th all time) indoor 200m)
None. But all those stats and not one individual team or medal.
Decent times, but nothing special and No medals against the big boyz😅
Didn't win anything outdoors in college
Go after the fans, not the athlete. He can't control how his fanbase reacts to him.
That yt boy is done. He will never win an individual medal in the olympics
"I won't even mention you again unless it is an insult"😂
In this day and age, whenever we try--and we should--to be objective, we're told we're "haters." This was the same when I did talk about Jenna Prandini, then Abby Steiner and this dude--Boling. But then I realized that is the fans and the media who actually create all the hype, the bells ringing, the fanfare, the mental masturbation and the expectations. Most fans--at least the ones that berate me--are highly emotional more so than rational and objective. They have, or rather tried, to insult me with all kinds of ad hominem, but what they have not been able to do is to prove me wrong. These three have not beaten anyone on the big stage. In 2023 world championship in Eugene, Oregon, both Prandini and Steiner got beaten by a bunch of old women from the Caribbean. Then they [inserted] both in the 100 and 200m (a tokenism so they can feel good about themselves) to beat a Jamaican team that even my grandmothers could have beaten. Thanks to Melisa Jefferson--and not Steiner--was able to barely beat Shericka Jackson. Jamaica had only Shelly Ann-Frazier and Shericka Jackson as the two stronger in the 4x100m and 4x200m--that's it. They could have been beaten by anyone.
you right
He’s also juicing 100k look at his progression from High School. I saw it somewhere on YT as a 9th grader he was running high 12 sec for 100m and damn near 30 sec for 200 m then all of a sudden 12 grade he runs under 10 wind aided. Not buying it with that genetic code 🙄🤷🏿
lol....exactly
He deserves his ratings, black white, brown or blue, anyone running sub 10,Sub 20 and 44 point deserves recognition...plus he's a long jumper! How much do YOU know about track?
According to the video maker his sub 10 was wind aided. It could gave merit cuz Matt Boling never ran sub 10 again to my knowledge
@@kamuishortsgamer3728yes he did in college legal 9.97
@@trinidadrodriquez876
Nice
No he has at least one legal sub 10. Boling is a fantastic athlete by any measure. It seems to me that this RUclipsr is unwilling to acknowledge this simply because Boling is white. In my book, that's racism.
@kashkaMH1 That is true. It is because he's white, but there's also many other factors around that which becomes an issue. The main one being he's getting all this attention because he's white, but in reality it's not like it hasn't been done dozens of times by the average black person or even white person before and didn't get this much acknowledgement. Because Boling, realistically, is not going to be anything MAJOR. He's really good as an athlete. Yes. But in those respective fields he's not attaining anything absurd.
Didn’t he win 2 gold medals though??🤣🤣
Say what you will about Boling, but you can't run under 10 seconds unless you have the elite genetics to do so, you can't train or dope to achieve this. The biggest criticism of Boling is a lack of consistency, which is caused by either overtraining or psychological issues. Boling seems to have a problem peaking too early or late in the season. Asafa Powell has the record for sprinters who've run the most sub-10s in the 100m but would perform poorly in big meets due to folding from the pressure.
I do agree with you regarding the double standards of media attention and sponsorships that are racially motivated, but that doesn't remove the fact that Boling has elite genetics. You can acknowledge both racism and this fact.
Lets talk about what's good about Boling? His stride is what makes him so good. it obviously works and he had it his Sr in High School. He was not able to get great gains from this point. But his stats include a true sub 10.00 100m, sub 20.00 200m, many indoor low 20.x 200m, sub 45 in the 400m and the 8.25 long jump. What can he do to get better? I felt he could add more power to his frame via olympic lifts and squats, perhaps add 5-7 lb of explosive muscle and add more muscle to his frame... His stride would would be cleaner an more powerful even more sharper like Asafa Powell.
I believe the correction definition for Matt Boling is over-hyped. I remember hearing he would break the 100 meter world record in a couple years after high school. Every race, many had excuses why he did not win. One NCAA Championship in 5 years of college is respectable, but NOT impressive.
