D3 for LU Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Gotta be going to work soon... somebody take up the slack while I'm on the commute. Sayonara! D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
gimpeltf Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Albania is now on standard time rather than daylight- they do it a week earlier plus there's a delay with UWW- they're talking about 6am edt (9 minutes from now)
Truzzcat Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I am actually pumped David got Sadulaev round one. He has been a slow starter in his last few tournaments, and this is likely his first time down to scratch 92kg since 2016? I think he probably got a few kg for his wrestle off. 1

I think if they both start slow, that is a recipe for disaster for DT. Sadulaev can win a low scoring affair with anybody on the planet at any weight. I keep wanting to envision this being like DT's 2nd match with Yazdani (the one in the 1st round at Worlds) and I am having trouble doing that. I was pretty confident in DT's 2nd match with Yazdani, because he broke Yazdani their first go-round, even if it was a come-from-behind Pinfellery. 2 "I know actually nothing.

Spladle08 Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Peak had a very nice win to start, and then Greco went full American. is it time for Taylor vs Sad yet?

I had to peak at the brackets to get the gist of what you're saying. Got it now! (NOT pretty, in a USA greco kind of way, that is. ) D3 1 Never argue with an idiot.

D3 for LU Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Well... it looks like Hafizov is still waiting to see if he'll get pulled into repechage (depending IF Hamadli of Azerbiajan win against Aslanyan of Armenia in the semis.) All others from the US have been eliminated today. D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
mspart Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Taylor has to convince himself that he is the bad draw and then wrestle like that. I can't believe they matched him up to Sad in the first round so I looked it up and sure enough it is there. https://uww.org/event/seniors-world-championships-non-olympic-weight-categories/results Looks like a tough bracket overall. mspart 1
juniorvarsity Posted October 28 Posted October 28 There wont even be an announcer for Taylor vs Sadulaev 1
Alces Alces Gigas Posted October 28 Posted October 28 All y'all are missing the fact that the showdown will happen! Seeding the past world/Olympic champs 1-2-3 wouldn't have guaranteed the match we have all been wanting to see.

Voice of the Quakers Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Happy we are getting Taylor-Sadulaev in the first round. Wrestling needs more events like this. One of the greatest ever at 86 meeting one of the greatest ever at 97 for a catchweight fight, with a decent possibility neither will ever wrestle on the world stage again. This is wrestling's Hagler-Leonard. Who would've thought that a match of this magnitude would ever be possible? I'm actually more excited for this bout than I was for the Olympics. 3 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com

I think he probably got a few kg for his wrestle off. @nhs67 makes a valid point about Sadulaev winning a grinder but I agree Taylor would have a round one match advantage in terms of rust factor and with Sadz coming off the scales. Someone mentioned in an earlier discussion that the cut to 92 ain't no thang for Sadulaev, but we'll see. 1
bnwtwg Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Everyone is talking about how hard the cut is going to be for Sadulaev but no one seems concerned that he might actually gain quite a bit from getting back in tip top shape. It's the Russian Tank for crying out loud! 1 i am an idiot on the internet

If you don't think it is still one of the best matchups in freestyle history, please tell us one that supersedes a 7 time World and Olympic Champion (2 Olympic Golds and 5 World titles) vs. a 4 time World and Olympic Champion (not to mention that they also both have a silver at Worlds). The first and second Sad vs Snyder for starters.
GrandOlm Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I think Greco is down, not just in the US. Freestyle is going to have Sadulaev, Taylor, Burroughs; Greco has only people hard cores would know about or badly struggling wrestlers. Just not many stars left in Greco. I guess Aleksanjan, and RIza are the closest things left. Besides that there is a lot of parity, new champions: I don't think that's good. Decline could be the new normal for Russia in this style. They don't have a single gold medalist (again). Center of Greco is moving firmly east, past Eastern Europe.
