Perry Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 2 hours ago, oldschool said: they're very different circumstances. in 2016, taylor had lost the position to cox so he had a reason to be mad at cox's performance. whereas your made up beef between taylor and zain doesn't make any sense here anyhow, I agree I would've wanted to see more action from zain, but to say that he didn't try is way off base. amouzad's an excellent wrestler show just shut zain down. Taylor didn't have any valid reason to behave the way he did. Being angry is one thing, the comments were absolute Busch league stuff though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style transitions really well to freestyle. Agreed. I'm over the Zain/Yianni/N. Lee era. Hopefully, Alirez can do what they couldn't and actually improve as a freestyle wrestler. He also needs to be able to win WTT/OTT - Something he has yet to be able to do. Also, Mendez is younger, just outplaced him at OTT, then beat him 4-1 while looking considerably smaller at BTS. I don't think Alirez is going to be our guy Edited August 10 by nhs67 2 "I know actually nothing.

Doublehalf Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) I know we always played the what if game - at 65kg especially - but the problem I think with Yianni getting out of the US could be his training mindset. He more than any of our guys wrestles in the manner that we've been seeing at the Olympics. He's got that soft touch tie up with quick burst and timing on the drop singles that we're seeing and can find ways to get in. (often times while getting in scoring opportunities he also is giving up points too much) However, when it comes to domestic competition- it seems like he's trained to wrestle all the guys he'll see overseas and he finds himself at our trials and domestic events in hybrid folk/freestyle matches that looks like is catching him off guard or unprepared for... My intent is not to make excuses for Yianni and I was so pulling for Zain to do big things here but it just seems like Yianni always has a shot in some of these matches. I believe his second match with the Iranian he lost on a 4-4 criteria and he's beaten Tevanyan and Musakaev so he's seemingly right there but just needs a little push over the hill assuming he can get by domestic competition...

A lot of this is true, but Yianni has also lost to Tevanyan and I’ve not seen him against 2023 Muskaev. Yianni also seems to have a weight issue and that won’t get better by 2028. He may be eliminated by not having an ideal Olympic weight, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm not even sure Taylor didn't intentionally injure cox with his single finish to start that second period. Not j'dens fault taylor kept giving up points to a one legged opponent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
