2024 U20 Worlds - September 2-8

[zzs006]

Looks like Ryder and Duke could be up relatively close to the same time (6 matches)

Any interesting matches to watch before then @zzs006 ?

Karampour is up on mat 3 right now. He’s tough and could meet Duke in the finals

Bolatuly is in the hole on mat 3 as well. From KAZ. He should wrestle Baitukaev in the quarterfinals with the winner getting Duke (hopefully)

I’m also interested in the match up now on 3 between Japan and India. I never know about Japan. Barely any of their guys have results I can find but they almost always have a few guys who show out

 

[zzs006]

Sakybaev vs Liecht in the hole on mat 3. Winner will get Duke next round

Baitukaev in the hole on mat 1

 

[zzs006]

Bolatuly with a quick 10-0 tech

Sakybaev up now on mat C. Most likely Dukes 2nd round opponent

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

109?!? That’s miserable. Here in Eugene, OR it’s supposed to be 97. I’m over the heat and ready for fall

Me, too! My wife was a Duck. Class of '83 I believe.

 

[zzs006]

Ryder in the hole on mat C

 

[zzs006]

Sakybaev holds to win 6-2. Was close to giving up the winning td with about a :15 left but hit a nice counter for 2 to put it away. From what I saw I think Duke should hammer him

 

[zzs006]

Duke in the hole on mat A

 

[zzs006]

Ryder up now on mat C. Let’s go!!

Ryder in red going against China. Casey in the corner.

Beautiful double from space for 2 and then a gut. 4-0 Ryder

Quick little outside step into a duck for another Td. 6-0

One more Td into a lace and that’s it! 10-0 tech in the first period

 

[vhsalum]

10-0 for Ryder. looking powerful to legs

 

[zzs006]

Baitukaev up now on mat A with Duke to follow on the same mat

 

[zzs006]

10-0 for Ryder. looking powerful to legs

That was great to see. Not what we usually see from him. This was all collar ties and shots instead of underhooks and over/under. If he can develop a go to leg attack he’s going to be a nightmare

 

[vhsalum]

Ryder has added a really good old school double.

 

[vhsalum]

Baitukaev with a pair of Rudis' on! Looks like they've made their way to Europe. Awesome for them.

He looks so uninterested out there. He’s really good but just such a different style from what we are used to here in the US

Right. He doesn't even look "good" - but Duke is going to end up in some crazy situations with him.

 

[zzs006]

Duke up now on mat A!

Duke in blue against POL

Pretty foot sweep for 2 and then 4 guts and it’s over!! :47. This kid is special

 

[vhsalum]

OH my....

Duke with the foot sweep to the trap arm tech. He's ready to win this. holy sht

 

[zzs006]

Kamiya vs Ovec on mat C

 

[zzs006]

OH my....

Duke with the foot sweep to the trap arm tech. He's ready to win this. holy sht

He looks huge to me as well. PSU has had so many incredible kids in the past 15 years but I’m more excited for Duke than anyone who has come through I think

He's Mitchell with WAY more power. His ability to throw and footsweep is the best we've seen since maybe a grajales/Dake.

Bassett in the hole on mat B

 

[pish69]

Late to the party! Woke up to PJ crushing someone! Thanks for updates and mat assignments fellas

 

[zzs006]

Pilanagoila vs Alaidar on mat C. Winner could see Bassett in the quarters

 

[Hofman19]

OH my....

Duke with the foot sweep to the trap arm tech. He's ready to win this. holy sht

I've been enjoying this show for the better part of the past 8-10 years!

PJ doing PJ things

Bassett up now on mat B!

Bassett in red against UKR. Papa Bassett in the corner

Bassett with his usual aggressive hard hand fighting style. Step out Bo 1-0. Counter by UKR for 2 but Bo comes out on top for 1. 2-2. Another scramble off a Bassett shot scored 4-2 for Bo I believe. 6-4 but UKR is challenging. Bassett getting in but getting exposed off his shots. I guess it was scored 4-0 for Bo. After challenge it was scored 4-2 so the score is 6-4

Bassett goes front head but as he’s running around UKR reaches back and exposes Bo for 2. 6-6 criteria for UKR at the break. Bo looking a bit sloppy. All counter points for UKR

Another challenge coming out of the break I guess. I’m not sure by who or what for though. UKR challenged something but lost so Bo is up 7-6 at the start of the second period

Bo gets in and UKR goes chest wrap. Scramble and Bo gets exposed again for 2, 8-7 UKR. Bo finally converts a leg attack and goes up 9-8. UKR is getting tired. Really slow back to center. Bo I’m on a shot. Crack down position and he scores another Td. 11-8

Bo with a go behind. 13-8. Kid is breaking. Taking him longer and longer to get back to center. Bo with a cradle for 2 and another turn and that’s the match! 19-8.

Weird ****ing match. Bo looked sloppy but his pace is such a weapon

 

[vhsalum]

Bassett needs to calm down. Giving up a lot of exposures in a rush to his finishes.

 

[vhsalum]

sheesh. We clearly don't have the olympic review committee. Be prepared for some long reviews these next 3 days gentlemen!

 

[vhsalum]

Bo Bassett doing Bo Basset things. Just breaks the Ukrainian.

19-8 Tech after giving up exposure on 4 different shots of his own.

Bo Bassett doing Bo Basset things. Just breaks the Ukrainian.

19-8 Tech after giving up exposure on 4 different shots of his own.

I actually think Bo's current skillset translates better to folk than free. In freestyle he needs to clean up his finishes and body awareness to avoid cheap exposures. His pace is definitely an asset, though.

Who is that in the background on mat C w the NLWC shirt?

 

[David Keller]

Up in Los Angeles. Was 114 yesterday. Thank you all for posting!

 

[zzs006]

Otinashvili was down 7-0 with a min left. Got an exposure, Td and turns and he’s up 10-7 with :10 to go. He holds on for the win

 

[zzs006]

Duke up now on mat C against Sakybaev

Duke in blue

Duke is so strong especially for a hs kid. Gets 1 on a step out. 1-0

Sakybaev keeps going hard right side underhook and it’s slowing PJ down a bit. Duke gets to his underhook and drives KGZ out for 1. 2-0 at the break

KD and J’Den in the corner

Duke with a huge 4. Ran behind a shot and went feet to back. KGZ challenging but it’s a bad challenge I think. Clearly a 4 from my view. I guess not. They only give 2 so it’s 4-0 Duke

Now Duke gets a 4!!! Massive throw. He goes single to seat belt and lifts and throws. Absolutely beautiful. Then right into a turn and it’s a 10-0 tech!! My lord!! I love this kid

 

[vhsalum]

Duke up 2-0 at the break. KGZ able to slow him down a bit with an underhook.

 

[vhsalum]

POWER.

Duke with a monster 4 to go up 6-0. Challenged by KGZ

 

[vhsalum]

Challenge won by KGZ. Duke only got 2.


But then gets an unreal 4 to a gut for the tech. Back arch from a single and waist - which... is GARBAGE. lol. He's do damn powerful.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Duke saw his first throw get moved down to 2 and hit one there was no question about. I did not know he had this dake like ability to throw BOMBS
