Yeah the Russian was absolutely shameless

Wow! What a match by Haines! He earned that win!

Not really.  All the movement by Haines, Usmanov had his ass firmly planted in center.

it felt clear that usmanov was very intentional about when he did lil flurries of activity. right before activity clock was awarded in second half he was pushing and controlling the tie, but literally 4min other than that he was defensive, backing away, or sucking wind in the corner

this is the type of match that should be reviewed by referees for future reference to improve how they handle people so obviously trying to game the system

Haines didn’t deserve to be put on clock twice

He's the second coach in the little back booth; all the personal coaches have been on the floor and Zadick has been in the booth behind for most

I think we all bought the hype, without respects to the Worlds depth.

Much like when Flo said our 76 KG ladies field was Good as Gold, saying that regardless of who came out, they were the heavy favorite to win it all.

It's Worlds.  It is going to be tough.

The hype was real though. He has destroyed everyone not named Zhou or Higuchi. Obviously the calculus has changed, but it was well-deserved

[D3 for LU]

Carr & Valiev on Mat D...

yeah; during haines' match, zadick got yelled at for approaching the mat because of the tomfoolery that was going on score and antics-wise
