U20 Day 3...

[ScottishSteel]

The Armenian looks thicker than Blaze all around; arms, torso, legs etc

[D3 for LU]

Blaze had an ankle... Begoyan snatched it back

Blaze w/ a stepout and Armenia challenges it

Challenge lost so that makes it 5 - 2 Blaze w/ a minute 19 to go

[ScottishSteel]

Armenia getting desperate and went w/ the 1 zillion head taps method to try and setup a score.  Ref didn't liket that really

[ScottishSteel]

Whole bunch of penalty points handed out on both sides gets the score to 8 - 3 Blaze but the Armenia is DQ'd w/ 4 seconds left

[D3 for LU]

Begoyan DQ'd for being very "slappy"

D3

[D3 for LU]

... well, he wasn't "slap" happy, THAT'S for sure.

[SocraTease]

What a punk that Armenian kid is who boxed ... I mean "wrestled" Blaze.  DQ-ed for hitting Blaze some many times in the face and head

[D3 for LU]

A summary of Blaze's match w/ the Armenian...

Kazakhstan is having a very nice tournament. Both Mirasolas lost to one and the kid at 61 looks phenomenal.  Well ahead of Iran and Japan and not far off USA after day 2.
