Its crazy the levels to wrestling. Kid is in high schoool going against a grown man with a crazy background and gave him a run for his money. Good lord wrestling is nuts
That kid is a sophomore in *high school* ?! What a thoroughbred Forrest is! And, as we've seen, there are more like him coming up. That was Gilman he scored *two* takedowns on -- a sophomore in high school. I am absolutely thrilled for the future of this sport.
@FredrickHoxinville It's amazing how ignorant people sound. They take it from reasonable, to SO insanely stupid. The kid is a stud, but saying Gilman "isn't skilled at all?" You just sound stupid.
Yup...that's a big part of the sport(obviously)...but incredible talent just on that High School team! They might win 4 matches vs most College teams in a duel!
Dude Jax is a sophomore?! Kid is going to absolutely WALK through anyone in highschool/college. I honestly think that he was the more skilled wrestler in this matchup, which is crazy.
Def isn’t going to walk through college or high school when there are people just as good as him in the mix as well. Marcus Blaze, Luke Lilledahl, Anthony Knox, Ben Davino, Nathan Desmond, Leo DeLuca, Seth Mendoza, Jackson Blum, and a lot more guys are either better, as good, or a little worse than him. 2025-2027 college wrestling is going to go CRAZYYY
Amazing for a HS sophmore! He can wrestle at open tournaments and compete internationally to keep developing. Can kids in HS get NIL money? Why not. Get him a shoe contract.
Good night. A freakin high schooler wrestling like this. Gilman should be too much. He was...too strong. And that is with most people anyway. But a high schooler getting this close is something else. Who is going to beat him in college?
Jax wrestled well but stop acting like he’s Sadulaev level. He’s a 125lb wrestler and it’s not uncommon for high schoolers to have senior level success at 57kg-65kg. Stop the hype and let Jax develop. Y’all hyped up Yianni like he was gonna win Olympics no problem back in 2018.
You need to calm tf down Mike. Get tf off RUclips and go touch grass. Nothing wrong with gov if an amazing athlete hype, don’t know if you’re jealous or what but you need to chill out. Yianni is a Silver WORLD Medalists and 4x NCAA champion. Regardless of if he accomplishes nothing else he’s already extremely accomplished. Act like he’s not losing to World champions and NCAA champions in Zain Retherford, Nick Lee, and Jesse Mendez. He’s a high school sophomore who just lost 4-5 against a world champion and Olympic medalist, tf are you whining about Mike?
So a kid who has earned his stripes doesn’t get a little respect from the officials when going against an even more of a kid who is trying to earn his stripes. Let me guess you won a state title 😂 that’s cute
These young guys are getting so much better. Jax is the real deal as is his teammate Basset. Future of the sport

A literal senior world champion at that. I think that grown man strength made the difference.
@@Garrett1240what's crazier is he didn't win regionals this year. That's Pa. wrestling.
Did better against him than fix did too
@@DB-115he got his get back tho lmao level of wrestling is insane
@@alcides2494Lmao crazy to think jax forrest lost to a kid in like PA regions this year

A 17 year old sophomore tho
@@fuhgetabouthat247, still....
@doubleohhhhseven not taking anything away except when he wrestles hs kids again lol
17 year old kid no out of country experience going against a 33 I believe with world experience and only one point difference crazy
So frustrating watching Gilman stall that last bit but it was strategically the right call. Can't wait to see Jax evolve over the next few years.
I didn't really see stalling. But tie him up grab a hand , he dosen't do well on points shooting without the shrugs, pulls ect
You can see the obvious strength difference here. Gilman bullied him
Yup he beat him.
@@mikemcnut32043 points were pushes out of bounds, he was out wrestled but his physicality won him the match

The difference between a boy and a man. Not an insult to Forrest, hes just a kid.
Jax is the real deal! Look forward to following his career!!

Jax is going to be so good by the time he's in college
Jax is the future and the future looks bright.
Jax is like a stork! Very good wrestler.
DAMN!!!!!!!! Your time is coming Jax. Upcoming STUD!
This kid's confidence is amazing. You can tell even from the opening 10 seconds he 100% believes he can beat Gilman.
The race to the center is what gave Gilman the edge
Jaxs future is very bright.
Never saw a highschooler like this in my day...........thank goodness.
This kid is the future.
Do you have the Blaze v. Forrest match?
He will/needs to get stronger as he matures👍🏼
Gilmans strength won him the match
Jax didn’t take a single shot this entire match
Thomas is way stronger then Jax and it’s hard to hit leg attacks
He tried some firemans carries
that slide by was nasty tho
@@Vlad_cod which were counters to Gilman’s offense , Jax is gonna end up being another chamizo
He tried but Jax is a very good counter wrestler. He will let his opponents get in on him & score off them.
He said the king is still the king, meh, idk if I’d say that. Your a grown man vs a 16 year old boy and he still worked you most of the match lol
Gilman still won. Cry about it.
No such thing as a close match in wrestling. You either win or you lose.
@@TurbosAndFPSmight be the dumbest shit I’ve read. “nO sUcH tHiNG aS a ClOsE mAtCh” yes… yes there is 😂😂😂😂
The score was closer than the match
JAX IS A ANIMAL
Amazing for a HS sophmore! He can wrestle at open tournaments and compete internationally to keep developing. Can kids in HS get NIL money? Why not. Get him a shoe contract.
If jax had grown man strength he would’ve easily won
He still lost. Cry about it.

These kids have the advantage because all they do is wrestle and school. They don’t gotta take care of a family pay bills handle the real world.
there should be no step out points it’s unfair jax had more takedowns than that gilman bum and didn’t win🤬
I’m honestly surprised Gilman didn’t get hit for passivity twice! That was ridicules, you can’t tell me that wasn’t favoritism at its worst !
So a kid who has earned his stripes doesn’t get a little respect from the officials when going against an even more of a kid who is trying to earn his stripes. Let me guess you won a state title 😂 that’s cute
If I were Gilman, I'd be embarrassed . Damn near beat by a 16 year old.
push out pts are lame AF. High schooler outwrestled him.
Kid out wrestled him to the core....I see why Gilman never won an NCAA title ....the Jax is just a kid
