Hendrickson faces the Russo that gave Geno all he could handle at World this year. Parris did handle him via Tech for Bronze, though. 3 "I know actually nothing.

WrestlingRasta Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 O'toole and Takata coming up, that will be a good bench mark (assuming its the same JPN from seniors) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerfan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Whoever it was, O’Toole looked dominant, and noticeably more muscular than in years past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Cardenas and Brooks tested early. Cradenas beats his Russo 4-3 and Brooks beats the Turk 5-1. Brooks is on the same side as Russo NC Bagaev fwiw. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 In any case, O'Toole has the presumed 157lb starter from North Carolina next round. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Brooks certainly had his way vs the Moldovan, 7-0 in the QF... D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 So... who is in the semis and who is hoping to get into the repechage rounds? 61Kg... Chlebove lost in the QF to Magomedov... he's hoping the AIN dude has his way in the semis. 74Kg... O'Toole seems to be crusing thru the brackets w/ ease... he's in the semis. 86Kg... Brooks into the semis while only giving up 1 point in three matches... another AIN dude (Bagaev) awaits him. 92Kg... Cardenas, like Chlebove, is hoping Gimli the Dwar... er, uh, GIMRI THE Turk will win in the semis to pull Cardenas into the repechage round. 125Kg... Hendrickson is in the semis, going up against a Greek w/a not-so-Greek name (it's all Russian to me. ) Action resumes @ noon. D3 6 Never argue with an idiot.

nhs67 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 61 KG - Magomedov wrestles a Russo from Belarus in the semi-finals. The guy has been at Cadets and Juniors, but never seems to get any wins there. Meanwhile Magomedov is ranked ~#11(?) per Flo, is 4W-2L in professional MMA, and was Russo's #1 ranked gent heading into Russo nationals. I expect Chlebove to be pulled back in. 74 KG - O'Toole has Sonny Santiago, O'Connor's replacement at 157lbs for North Carolina in the semi-finals. I expect he wins with ease. Of note: Santiago looked a full weight class smaller and ground out a win in his QF. 86 KG - Brooks has Russo's #1 ranked wrestler in the semi-finals. This should tell us a lot how he stacks up against the international competition. Wrestling DT and ZV close are one thing. I don't even know if I would call this a toss-up... I think Brooks is the dog here. I think he will win, though. 92 KG - Very real chance the Turk loses next round. The Turk has lost to Iboyan of Armenia many times this year in the U23 and U20 curcuits. The gent he faces next beat him in Round 1. 125 KG - Haven't seen anything of Khosonov aside for a 5th place finish at Euros (he went 0W-2L losing to Geno and Hungary). I think the Russo was the biggest competition he was going to face with Masoumi not being allowed. So it actually looks like Cardenas has the least likelihood of bringing home a medal at this point, of the five gents we have in right now. 6 "I know actually nothing.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Clarification isn't needed? My statement was accurate. I would say if you wrestle someone within 3-4-5 points more often than not that it means you did wrestle them close, depending on the wrestler. If you lose by five to Dake every time, you aren't wrestling him close. If you lose by five to DT every time, you are wrestling him close. 1 "I know actually nothing.
