@Truzzcat is Kobakhidze from Georgia notable? He just whooped up on the Man Wagin, and I thought he was supposed to be pretty tough?

He beat Novruzov at euros lost to itayev 10-0 but Itayev could medal at seniors. Wagins knee seems to be in really bad shape he was not himself at u20's either not sure the severity of it but I did not see him drop to it at all and while he likes upper body stuff that seemed to be the only way he felt he could score.

Challenege in the James match 4 given to James call will be close not sure if red changed the direction at all.

I was just going to comment on this. It's crazy to me that in 2026 we still have zero consistency in how this situation is called. I won't go into it here, and I definitely understand the idea behind who should be rewarded, but the application is horrendous.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

they got it right on the challenge...

easy to see on the replay...

James looked quick and explosive, but he wrestled pretty sloppy. He basically let his opponent fall into two takedowns and gave up a four on his double. He pretty much gave all 8 points over to the opponent.. He lost in the u20 finals largely due to sloppy wrestling as well.

Looks like Brad Dillon is in Matty Lopes corner on Mat C... Lopes is down 4-0 and the Georgian has a challenge...

Lost challenge by Georgia makes the final 8-6 for LEHIGH's Matty Lopes.

(Down 6-0...and he came back, way to go, Matty!)

He is a recently-turned 18 year old coached by Casey Cunningham. I think he'll be OK.

No need to get defensive. I didn't say anything regarding him as a prospect. I am simply commenting on what I saw in relation to this tournament. I'm pretty sure he's still going to be 18 tomorrow, so if he wants to win, he'll have to overcome that reality.

He completely outclassed his first opponent and still gave up 8 points. This is after giving up 13 points to Japan in the last match he wrestled.

I don't think he can wrestle that careless and win this tournament. But don't worry, I still think he's a very good prospect..

I think when are you are making the presumption he is going to replace Mitchell up a weight from what he is currently wrestling some concern over him giving up 8 points to a guy who got teched at Asians 12-1 is warranted. I personally think Will holds down 174 next year unless Jayden really fills out.

Merrill took off the battering ram?

Not sure how some football coach did not convince him that he would have been a 5 star d-lineman unless hes way shorter than I think he is.

watching these prelim matches, i can understand why so many think U23 is steps below in terms of talent...

it 100% is in leg grabbing...

seen some just awful wrestling...

as far as james...

he did not look good at all in that win... 

it is not an indictment on him as a person...
