U20s and U23s

[Truzzcat]

Abbasov will likely be Seidels next toughest match in the quarters, he offers different style problems than Khateri but should be a comfortable win for Aaron. I would expect Chaniev or Japan to come out of the bottom although I hope freddy can pull off some upsets.

Just now, D3 for LU said:

The wrestling pundits gaged that match as the top two in the 61Kg bracket... to bad that was right off the bat.

D3

I think the Russian is the second best guy in the bracket, he did not wrestle at euros but the guy they setn teched Abbasov in the finals and abbasov has a cadet win over Davnio and a 0-5 loss to Blaze hes very tough for age level.

[Truzzcat]

Mendoza is rolling, the Bachmann brothers are both going to need to adjust how they present themselves in the handfight optically it looks bad and I think even in folkstyle they are going to give up a lot of points if they do not seem more active.

doesnt panic, clear headed motor

[Tyler Perry]

Sinclair with a easy 12-2 tech, Khajiyev spent the whole match running 

[Tyler Perry]

Moses Mendoza looks really good, he wins 12-2 over EGY (granted his draw was pretty good). He should win his next match as well which could set up a semi between him and Seidel 

[Tyler Perry]

Assambek (KAZ) looks like a monster. I think if he beats Chaniev he may be a tougher matchup than Khateri with his speed and low level attacks. Khateri was more defense and holding position.

Abasov looks 30

[Tyler Perry]

The 86 from Egypt looks solid. Trailing 10-5 to a very tough Begenjov at the break. Lots of fun exchanges in this match so far
