Flo drops the ball again
Mueller had nothing for RBY
Agreed.I'm still going with JB to make the team.
Rashidov and Sidakov have amazing underhooks. It’s glorious to watchI think Sidakov wins the match with Dake. He is better defensively, although he can get reckless sometimes. But his hand-fighting is much better than Chamizo's, kind of why Burroughs struggles constantly attack him.
But I think Burroughs beats Dake in 3 matches.
Taylor vs. Sadulaev is an interesting proposition.. but Sadulaev techs him at 92, or 97. Not sure about at 86.
I want to see Rashidov vs. Yianni though.
It is basically the specialty technique/position of the Russian team; underhook to throw-by/single leg. Sidakov, Baev, Rashidov, Uguev, Tuskaev, Naifonov and Sadulaev (he did it before), all do it perfectly. It is beautiful.Rashidov and Sidakov have amazing underhooks. It’s glorious to watch
Dake was the better wrestler of course. I'm still think that in the Olympic weight Chamizo has a better chance. Two World class wrestlers.Finally just saw Chamizos post match interview. The dude literally took the match with the weight excuse ready to go if he lost.
Though it explains grappler111s stages of grief. Sees Chamizo gutted and out freestyled. Nearly has an aneurism sewing a ‘Mercian do the mystical holy freestyle. Then watches Chamizos post interview. “Whew an excuse ready to go”
I’ve been lurking on themat a bunch since the Downey thing started. Does anyone actually know who LBJ is or what state he’s from?
and has anyone ever actually seen him directly answer a question about wrestling that isn’t evasive or tries to use an insult to distract from it?
I mean it’s obvious he’s a wrestling dad lol.
I think Metcalf is up there. Incredible NCAA career, made several senior world teams, silver at the Yarygin, etc.who is the best American wrestler not to make the Olympics?
Lee Kemp has to be the most obvious getting screwed with the 1980 Boycott as he was the 2 time reigning World Chamo.
2 HWTs that come to mind are Haselrig and Stephen Neal. Not sure how much effort he Haselrig gave the Senior circuit before going to football but it made sense with Big Bruce in front of him and no money in the sport.
Neal won a World title in hist first try but couldn't get past McCoy in 2000, afterwards he went the NFL rout as well.
HM to Cole Konrad and maybe Rowlands.
Logan Steiber has 4 NCAA titles and a World gold. The definition of a tweener.
Brandon Eggum has a Silver.
James Green has a Silver and. Bronze and is another tweener.
Not including DT because unless he gets injured before OTT it looks like he's going to walk through the trials. Maybe Zahid can give him a match though.
