Since I was at work... I really didn't have a chance to watch Stanich's semifinal match w/ Dzhandubaev, until now. After watching it... IT WAS ALL-OUT HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT! I never seen so much hand fighting than in that match. I'm hoping that Luke will be ready for Uchida... because he is a very dangerous wrestler! Be Ready, Luke! D3

... excuse me, as I just got back from doing some work ('cause I'm AT work... ) LUKE STANICH WON!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! tanxs for that pause that refresh! D3

You're talking about Dzhandubaev, right? D3

Stanich's opponent, Russia's Dzhandubaev who fared better against Kazakstan's Zhenissov (6-0) than he did against Iran's TATHASHTIKEH (hung on at the end, 10-9) He has length & strength... unless he lungs-out against Luke's pace. It will be an interesting semifinal between them. D3

Just watched Stanich's match vs the Italian... tough match! Nini was leading 3-1 in the 2nd until Luke scored his TD to take the criteria. Fended off Nini's shots towards the end. D3

D3

BUT... does it have that ubiquitous label "Do Not Remove under Penalty of Law" on it ? (... in Japanese?) D3

Guys... I going to be leaving for work soon. You can follow the match order on the UWW site: https://arena.uww.org/sport-event/show/1f066b8b-a9c4-691c-927b-61212d4ab92f/live I'll check in from work when I can... the way that Russian wrestled and just got by, I'm looking at Luke's favorabilty in a brighter light! D3

The Russian survived 10-9... on the same side of the bracket as Luke. D3
