Re: Taylor got beat 10-0, holy cow

we're always talking about stalling and non-aggressiveness.... the Americans seem to be taking all the shots... everyone else waits for the counter. David wrestled OK - had to get aggressive once he was down.... got caught in the gut wrench.... almost had two other takedowns... got out scrambled!

Just my opinion but this is exactly why I would hate to see rules adopted for pushouts, back exposures, etc that are more in line with freestyle. In both Taylor's recent two bouts, few if any scrambles were initiated by his opponent because, quite frankly, it isn't very smart and got him in trouble. On other message boards you read a few people that wish this was the only style. I can tell you I would have a lot more time on my hands if it was and have to believe many would feel the same way.

Taylor lost 9-1 to another Russian world champ, Tsabolov, in the bronze match.
