Georgios Kougioumtsidis is only 23, is he competing at u23s later?

Be cool to see him and Haines both there.

[Scouts Honor]

but his a** was planted firmly in the center

[nhs67]

This is a boxing match with all this jockeying for position on the inside.  Lots of uppercuts.

Doubt we see Levi there but who knows

[nhs67]

2-0 Greek is up after a shot clock and pushout.

[nhs67]

That's how they enter the break.

[bnwtwg]

I think Haines was wise first period avoiding scrambles to wear him down and the last 2 minutes are going to be a PSU sprint to break him.

[nhs67]

Man, they are scrapping.

[Ragu]

He needs 2 take downs to win

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

Greek looks to be gulping 02

[D3 for LU]

Time is running out for Levi...

[nhs67]

Levi can't do anything on this guy, it's impressive.

[D3 for LU]

He's done

[Ragu]

That Greek guy is the real deal

[Ragu]

Defense so stingy

[D3 for LU]

2 points for Levi in the closing tics... needed more than that.

Most world champs are...

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

That hematoma on the eye is worth a world title, I'd imagine.

That real deal guy is Greek. Better?

[oldschool]

greek did an amazing job frustrating haines. nothing flashy, just solid positioning, next-level handfighting, and disrupting haines tempo

[oldschool]

looks like iran has won the 2025 team title, according to nomad on twitter

[D3 for LU]

Just think... had Haines got the step out point earlier instead of going for the TD 30 secs earlier, that would've been the winning TD.

Would've been nice... Greece has a world champion.

Good for them.

Which is so interesting in the grand scheme of things. They underperformed heavy at u17s and u20s.

[D3 for LU]

...can't win 'em all.

I know the Greek went 74 KG and gave Dake all he could handle.  That said, I am curious if he will go 86 KG or 74 KG in 2028.
