2021 World Championships
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
Wow, Daton Fix gonna finish either gold or silver, beautiful inside trip followed by 4 trapped arm guts. About 30 seconds.
Daton Fix is a freestyle monster now. 10-0 win to go to the finals
Woah! Fix just went off! Inside trip and then guts to win it quick! He’s in the finals!
The commentator (not sure who he is) on with Jason Knapp just referred to the American women wrestlers as "studs". That gives a new meaning to biology.
So did the Russian 61kg do his part for the rematch of him and Fix from cadets I think. ?

DT with an arm bar and a half for the first period pin. Same thing he did in the quarterfinals. Folkstyle to the rescue. On to the finals tomorrow.
DT in the finals again, after giving up a takedown on a slick shrug where he was leaning the wrong way. Then got behind, slipped in a deep half and cranked it over for the fall.
DT! Looking forward to another match with Yazdani!
For all those folk style haters… That world champ had no idea what a bar arm half was… he does now.
That was nasty! DT is a monster!
So USA is 11-1 with the three finalist having a grand total of three points scored on them fn wow!!!

Physically controls Naifonov & wins 8-2.
DT vs Yazdani, tomorrow for gold.

Lots of poking, slapping, and near punching. Dake gets picked on a lot but he strikes back as well.
Wow !! Taha never shoots for 5 mins, Iran's Zare builds 4-0 lead.
Zare upsets the Turk & it pulls Gwiz back into repechage !!

He looked just as big, if not bigger to me last year during the college season(especially his boulder shoulders lol), than he does right now. He’s had a great gut for awhile now. Doesn’t do him any good in folk tho.
Great cadet rematch for gold six years in the making lol. Should be a lot of action.
I don't think he looked like he had a ton of energy at NCAAs last year and he had to make 125 scratch two weeks later. He looked flat against Desanto and really had nothing for RBY. That was as one-sided as an OT match gets.
Then he looked flat at the trials too. You bring up freestyle stuff, but he hasn't been hitting guts or leg attacks on anybody good in freestyle for the last 2-3 years at 57 kg either. Now it's all back. I think he's just at the right weight class. He'll always look "big" because he's a little bowling ball, but the energy level/explosiveness eye test is there for me.
All finals start at 6 PM Oslo time or 12 Eastern.

Fix looks scary good. Sure seems like he has jumped levels in FS the past few months. It will be interesting (and a bit scary) if he's able to translate that into folk this season. If so, he'll be a difficult out for everyone.
js again with the subtle, backhanded jab at a PSU wrestler. If you weren’t paying attention you’d miss the trolling entirely.
I hate to be that guy, but he lost 10-0. losing 0-10 is like a double negative. The winning score always goes first! Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine!
must be miserable to live life so paranoid lol. i'm picking rby and hopefully the team title's sewn up for iowa so i can root for him against the doper
IF RBY QUITS DANCING AND JUST GOES TD HE WOULD KILL EVERYONE HE CAN SCORE WHEN HE WANTS TO!!
