I thought Zahid was going 86kg?

He would be huge at 74kg

Hall also seems to be going 86kg bases ona tweet from the Penn RTC.

This is correct

Razambek Zhamalov. He is good, only 23 (I think), he won the U23 European and World championships. Silver at the Ivan Yarygin and he won his first national title this year, beating Tsabolov in the final. I think Sidakov will beat him.. but he definitely has a promising future. The Olympic race is between Zhamalov and Sidakov - maybe Gazimagomedov too, but he is a little older now.

Has Sidakov been back in action since the wedding incident?

You fucking guys just reload 74KG like it's nothing ever year, it is crazy how much depth you have at that weight. Since JB hit the scene you had Tsargush, Gedeuv, Tsabolov, Sidakov and now this kid.

Who would you favor in their prime Tsargush or Sidakov?

Lol, I always back my guy Sidakov, so him every time lol. Tsargush is really good though, and is a national coach at some level. Tough question. Only one of them has beaten a non-injured Burroughs lol

and, yes; although, it didn't go as planned... Sidakov was met with Tsabolov in the first round of this year's Russian Nationals (in October, or maybe November), Tsabolov beat him 9-3. Tsabolov made it to the finals; pulled Sidakov into repechage and he would win a bronze medal against Magomed Kurbanaliev with the score of 9-1. Not the result he was looking for, but not quite gold either.

Looks like Zain beat up Punia. 6-0

Yeah, he looked really good in the match, very stingy on D.

It might be my favorite weight class in that I'm a big fan of each of the top 3.

Tsargush had the size and no-frills style to coral Sidakov. I think he wins most of the time. Geduev had the physicality, size, and style to best both of them in my opinion but there was always something that appeared to prevent him from wrestling his best. Maybe nerves, emotion, the weight cut, etc.

Honest question, do high school principals really tell kids to wrestle thinking it is an investment in a college scholarship?

Season kicked off this past weekend.

Any highlights?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

@Te Huna Matata what spot do you see Hall occupying on the US ladder at 86KG?

If he cut down to 74KG do you think he challenges JB/KD?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Anybody catch DT vs JB?

Saw the highlights, JB coming in at 80kg with once again more horsepower at the end but could never secure a takedown. I'd like to see them go again.

Early on I thought DT was going to over power him the way he was dominating the tie ups.

Taylor got in deep twice but JB held to one pushout.

JB got somewhat deep on a double but it looked like he hit a wall when he tried to drive through DTs hips.

I'm interested in Zahid vs DT as well

And don't forget Bo in the mix as well, trials are going to be ridiculous at 74 and 86. Still really confused at Hall's decision, he must have lead in his bones or something as his frame looks perfect for 74.
