Anyone check Taylor's Twitter account?  Is he ripping Brooks for choking? 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Brooks lack of international experience cost him this match.  Taylor would have won.

[NormMacDonald]

That looked like it came down to experience. Decades of focusing on folk style doesn’t prepare you well for not getting turned like that.

You can tell there is some ******* action when the notification pops up to indicate "12 new replies." 

 

That was a tough loss for Brooks. Bulgarian was a Yaruguin winner? Wow. Former Russian. Amine starts out strong, but Yaz, man, Yaz. 

Expand  

believe he placed at Russian nets a few years in a row think he was always a tweener for olympic weights but may finally have gotten big enough for 86

Heartbreaker for Aaron Brooks He’ll be back in Los Angeles 2028 for that Gold!

[4xJVchamp]

I didn’t catch Lees match, how do yall think his chances are looking against higuchi?

[alliseeisgold]

Amine can beat brooks even 100 percent brooks. Amine fits international style better. 

Remember Valencia best brooks at trials.

Dude is massively overrated

I think Lee’s chances look great! He looks phenomenal 

[Grecojones]

Gods that was hard to watch. Damn Bow and arrow did him in. I hope Yaz absolutely embarrasses Bulgaria. 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Lee is just a weight class stronger than everyone else at 57 kg.

Good show Myles

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Does Myles wrestle Brooks for Bronze?  I think I actually favor Amine after Brooks injury.

Brooks tried to use a folk position (hold on to the single) to get to the end but Bul just went over the top. I think that is an experience thing.

Expand  

How was the guy not prepared for those positions?

I remember Zahid grabbing Brooks' singlet twice but only giving up one point, and Brooks being robbed of a TD and given a 1 instead, and Zahid still lost.

But, yeah, Zahid totally beat Brooks.

It's not just experience it's style. Brooks style is more close matches which the Europeans are elite at. Taylor just opened up on people.

The closer the matches the more experience you need for those tight positions.
