[Irani]

Apparently internet is down at the arena.  I don't think there will be any broadcasting today until they fix it.

Ghassempour's shoulder look like cannonballs!

My thoughts exactly. I'm suprised that he's closer to 86 than 92, and smaller than Yazdani. He made Sadulaev look small. Dude is jacked.

Honestly, I thought Taylor was more physically impressive that Saduleev.  Especially with Saduleev's ill-fitting singlet.  Who thought that thing looked good?

DT  does look more impressive compared to Yazdani and Sadulaev. Will be interesting to see him next to Ghassempour

Non-puffy Sadz looked rather non-puffy, but I'm convinced that he has cement implants in his ass. Possibly his hands, too. I demand x-rays!

Yes.  His hips may be Sir Mix-a-lot approved.  And his snaps were vicious.

Here are a couple of pictures of Yazdani and Ghassempour next to each other

David Taylor Bronze!!! Good freaking win against another stud.  Way to go out.  

[Irani]

A great champion like DT deserved to go out with a great win like this.  Congratulations to him.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Nice second period for Taylor, a bit concerning to see Ghas not seal the deal again. Strong opener, bad closer.

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Did DT leave his shoes?

[fishbane]

It was cool see all three matches happen.  Things kind of played out how most would have guessed.  Sadulaev>Taylor>Ghassempour.  However Ghassempour was closer than many would have thought.

So is DT really done? I believe that he is, and if so, does Aaron Brooks immediately move to 92, to build towards 97 in 2028? And if that happens, who do we see as the new 86 Kg rep for us?

Yes. He left them on his feet.

He didn’t leave his shoes, but he did walk around the mat a few times and received a retirement gift on the mat from UWW after the match.
