The Croatia (Zagreb) Open Ranking Series Tournament


Recommended Posts

Of note, Azarpira of Iran, the guy who took Ghasempour's place this last year at 92 KG after he was injured, is opposite Snyder and beat both Macchiavello and Trumble.  Trumble match was 8-7 whereas Macchiavello was a 11-0 drubbing.

The legendary Iranian strength and conditioning program always has me scratching my chin.

Well he was coming off injury as well, so he might not have been able to get much cardio in before... got chonk then leaned out simply... just... bigger.  He looked good, physically.  But every one of his matches was physical today.

Snyder beat Azarpira at this tournament last year via 3-0 Decision.

He beat Valencia last year at the Hungarian GP via 6-3 Decision then lost to him at Worlds via 12-9 Decision.

This is the guy with the double groin tear, correct?

I think so, yes.

Not sure how serious either of them were.  It isn't like Azarpira is that much of a drop-off if he is good enough to win age level worlds multiple times.  It may have been something more minor that they were being cautious about in preparation for 2024 Olympics.

I like Trumble.

97 KG is well suited for him compared to 197lbs.

Macch in deep on a single.  Trying to turn the corner.  Climbing up.  Poland attempts to square up to cut it off and it works, he is out.  No points.

Macch doesn't look like typical Mike Macch here.

20S to go down 5-0 still.  Trying to do a bunch of quarter shots... nothing.

Looks like Trumble will have Baran of Poland next in a few minutes.  It is going to be a bloodbath because Baran is completely wiped out.  Gassed.

In deep on a shot out the gate.  Deng tries to chest wrap him.

Good on the takedown and a half-gut for another two.

Gwiaz up 4-3 with 2M23S to go in the second.
