Danny_92

more than a year layoff after the surgery and moving from 86 to 97 I think he did pretty well ,came very close to beat one of the best guys at 97 , Also beat azarpira twice to make the team. The problem is size though , at 97 he won't underhook the top guys and score pushouts . shouldv'e moved to 92 kg before 97. Let's see how he do against Thazudinov so we can have a better assessment.

The guy who has more left in the tank will win. Ghasempoor spent a lot of energy vs ramazanov.

Wyatt will upset Zare in the semis , Blaze will beat Javan maybe tech him. Dake vs Ghasempoor I have no clue .

86 KG Kadiev beat Japan 9-3

Against gadzhi magomedov he looked like he can go another 6 min. Unmatched pace but not really technical .

Was the indian who beat Bo atU23 that good ? Tevanyan isn't nearly technical as magomedov with countering shots. But he does have better stamina than Magomedov and even Amouzad . Interesting to see if Bo go with the same strategy of today of pushing the pace and constantly shooting or wrestle a more conservative match because after all this is a final for gold and the mental aspect could be a factor. I would advise Bo pressure from the getgo and go for the kill. Pressure him till he melts

Anyway Amouzad wasn't like outwrestled by anyone , he was fine just lost due corrupt officials and not listening to his coach.

I don't know if this is true but I read that in the last 20 years no champ repeated the next year at 65 Kg. Amouzad is a great wrestler and was the favorite to win gold but again 65 Kg is deep you have like 5 guys who could all beat each other. I checked the odds yesterday Nokhodi is a slight favorite to win gold .

Like I said in an early post conditioning won the day for Americans and Yoshida . Iranians and Russians are poorly conditioned .

Yes that call was stupid and tevanyan was headbutting Amouzad and the ref did nothing.

Is winning the team title that important for Iranians? And do you believe Amouzad chances at gold was higher than Zare and Nokhodi specially after the terrible draw he's gotten?

After the match dorostkar was very angry at Amouzad saying I told you to stay in the middle , don't back up plus he was convinced That the Ref and judges want Iranians to lose.

Levi Haines can't face Nokhodi till the final and khaniev is on Haines side of the bracket Hidlay will wrestle firouzpour in semis and this match is even I believe.

We'll have to wait till tomorrow. Both Snyder and Bo has tough final matches. Plus Yazdani Is favored to beat Thazudinov for bronze and Amouzad should beat Shamil. That's 30 points. Two key matches tomorrow will be decisive first Javan vs blaze expected to wrestle each other in the second round . And Ghasempoor vs Dake in quarter finals .

Ghasempoor is so unlucky with that draw. Can he beat Ramazanov ,Dake and Kadiev on the same day. This is a near impossible task.
