Richie Figs gets teched 13-2! Figs got a takedown in the first 5 secs of the match and then got shut down. The Iranian killed him in short offense and pushed him around in the ties. Really disappointing first match.

Not a good first round. Beau looked great. Amos won a close one and the other 3 all lost. Richie Figs, Andonian, and Washington all lost to Iran and all looked gassed at the end which is uncommon for the US. Washington was down 3 and didn’t attempt a single attack in the last 10-12 seconds. Beau looked the best for sure. Scored from a variety of attacks but mainly used a left-side underhook which I don’t remember him using that much in the past. He used it to control ties and then attack single legs which he converted at least 3 times. Very nice match
 
Richie Figs is out. The Iranian who beat him loses 6-5 next round.

Beau looked incredible. Way more physical than I remember ever seeing him and he again used his left-side underhook to control the match. Very tough semifinal match against Bayramov from Aze coming up. I think this is the younger Bayramov. The older one is at 74 and just competed in the Olympics.
 
Anyone notice the resemblance in the 57kg kid from Russia?

These 2 Bayramov’s from AZE are damn good. Keegan should have the other one in his QF match and I think Willie said he was 8th at the Olympics.
 
Beau seemed to go away from the approach he took in his previous two matches. He was all about the pace in the qualifying and quarterfinal rounds. Had a lot more forward pressure.

That knee pick thing he did for 4 in the quarterfinal was slick, though.

Amos wins over Deepak 9-1. was close the whole time till the end, but never in doubt.

The other 97 semi was epic between Iran and the last second head-pinch ftw of Turkey.
 
Are they doing full wrestle backs or is BB automatically in one of the 3-5 matches?

Edit: I just looked on FloArena. BB is automatically in one of the two 3-5 matches.
 
It has been said before, but, if Amos and the cut to 197 is not an issue then he is going to be problems for everyone in the NCAA's this year.

I have been saying for the past year Brax is the real deal and will take out Ferrari this coming year. I think he is just as strong to counter his power, and a better wrestler.

So bummed we didn't get him ... it seems like his family is really really close with Nick Lee's as well.

Beau knows.
Figs got ripped when the Iran lost.
Amos is a monster. Can’t believe he is a badger

I want to see Amos down at weight before I crown him. When he cut down to 92kg in high school, he looked less effective and that was 3 years ago. That extra 17 lbs he has to cut to get down to 197 is a big deal. Look at the difference it made for Snyder his freshman year.
