He'll recover just fine. 1045 or so until semis start.Hopefully Nick did not wear the Iranian out too much for his semi-final bout!
in hindsight, he'd have been better served to try to throw him the whole match and hope the iranian wilts under that pressure. way easier said than done. could have ended up 10-0 quick doing that. he had absolutely nothing basic against him. good showing though. that iranian is one of my favs.MAN OH MAN.
Wish lee had pulled that trigger early... Would have been a different match.
Amouzad is so good. and tough. I thought Lee was going to get that pin.
My brother and I were talking about the UWW "touch" fall, and how it usually takes 20+ seconds, a commitee meeting, and a "last call, you sure?" stare to call.In the world of touch falls, that's a pin when Yazdani releases the hold and Taylor pushes back thru with his legs.
Not that (1) the ref was in position to call it, (2) any ref ever would. But Yazdani was stacked momentarily.
Would've been hilarious if they had called the pin on replay.
Yup. Right side under hook to a throw by each time.I think if the wrestle again Lee wins. Needed to know how to counter the same move for all 3 tds.
Man. I don't see how. He won't be able to hit that throw again - you saw Amouzad make the adjustment to the throw. And he has an entire series off that underhook (hip toss, snap, throwby, double, drive)I think if the wrestle again Lee wins. Needed to know how to counter the same move for all 3 tds.
just rewatched. it wasn't that close honestly. great reaction from the iranian to fight off his back. that throw was nasty.Wow, so close for Nick. Honestly, he could have been given a touch fall.
Touch falls don't exist anymore and the judge HAS to confirm any falls. It's a better product than a touch fall, i think.My brother and I were talking about the UWW "touch" fall, and how it usually takes 20+ seconds, a commitee meeting, and a "last call, you sure?" stare to call.
Played right into Iran's hands here. Sure hope that Amouzad can recover and win his Semi now, would hate for the "zain effect" to translate here.
This your first time watching that Iranian? Everybody knows what's coming. Nobody can stop it. He's that good. His last loss was 2021 worlds when he was wrestling seniors as a junior. He's their next big star.Yup. Right side under hook to a throw by each time.
I don't disagree--but didn't realize it was codified. I'm not sure I like the judge confirmation--the ref on the mat will typically always have the best vantage.Touch falls don't exist anymore and the judge HAS to confirm any falls. It's a better product than a touch fall, i think.
Yep--Tazhudinov, the guy who just beat Snyder, needs to beat Sadulaev for Snyder to survive. It doesn't seem impossible given how good Tazhudinov just looked and how iffy Sadulaev has looked.Correct me if I'm wrong, Sadulaev has to lose in the semis for Kyle to medal??
Tazhudinov is dagestani and trains in the same club. Not gonna happen. Russian transfers don't beat Russians at worlds. This would be a major change in policy.Yep--Tazhudinov, the guy who just beat Snyder, needs to beat Sadulaev for Snyder to survive.

... yeah....Tazhudinov is dagestani and trains in the same club. Not gonna happen. Russian transfers don't beat Russians at worlds. This would be a major change in policy.
Taz is legit though. Next big thing. Only 20 and beat Goleij handily at Asians.
