U23s Thread

[nerfstate]

Kinda weird how Flo is completely ignoring U23s. They obviously don't have video rights--but that didn't stop them from covering Jr's and Sr's. I mean--to the US, this is probably the least important of the age group tourneys--but it still seems weird.

Kind of makes sense to me. Track is a competitor, not going to advertise while the event is going on to give them traction.

I'm sure Flo will recap once completed

Ref went around the world to call Bo's pin. You only need a touch-pin in FS but Bo's cradle would've been good in professional wrestling and withstood even a metal folding chair.

Where did Bo learn the ankle pick

It's a new tourny, less tradition or "gravitas", but yeah I agree, I am surprised since Pyles is such a huge international USA guy.

 

[LemonPie]

pretty excited about Berge's potential repechage draw. Please come through, Zhamalov!

Cuban 92 looks pretty good! Zubairov and the Russian will complete a pretty loaded semifinal field

at 74Kg, the Georgian blanked Suleymanov 10-0. Berge needs the Russian to beat him to get pulled back in.

seems like they're in their college season opener push. that plus most of these guys probably aren't really USA's best at that age level and i can see why flo isn't putting too much coverage on it. i agree it is weird that there's absolutely nothing..

I made this comment before regarding Flo. I think they do a disservice when they don't try and cover 'all' wrestling events. They don't have to be there or even stream it - but should pass info along so they could gain the 'one stop' venue they want to be. Looking like ESPN advertising their basketball and hesitate to cover a lot of other sports.

 

[LemonPie]

wow, Zubairov looks exhausted after 1. Going to lose to Switzerland?!?!

Edit: Zubairov with comfortable lead after some cold spray treatment.

 

[tikk10]

Kerkvliet with two blast doubles for 4 apiece, then locks up a cradle from par terre for two more to get the tech, 13-2. Would've gotten a pin if he hadn't teched, it appeared. EDIT--he may have been given the fall, I'm seeing on Twitter.

 

[tikk10]

Semis start at 12:15pm EST, per the program, but I don't know if that's still on track because I know they got a late start.

 

[SRATH]

Thanks all for the updates!!!!!!

 

[NittanyChris]

I haven't seen any of it, but that seems like a very impressive effort from a young guy in Kerkvliet. Wow.

Semi-final opponent for Bo is the defending U23 champ, Shamil Zubairov. Zubairov won bronze at Yassar Dogu tournament in July. His one loss was by tech fall to J'Den Cox.

That sounds like it sets up pretty well for Bo then. I can't see him getting tech'd by J'Den.

"I will, but you'll have to peel it off the mat first...."

[tikk10]

A well-rested Bo up vs Zubairov (AZE) in semi on Mat A right now.

• Bo tries to slide by, AZE counters with upper body, Bo backs off. Interesting exchange.
• AZE chases Bo, who steps out, 0-1.
• Lots of hands to the face by AZE, there's a warning.
• Bo with a slick ankle pick, 2-1.
• 3-1 caution (hands to face?)
• Break
• Bo with a high c, up 5-1.
• AZE with a chest lock, but can't turn Bo, they're on their feet again
• Bo up 7-1 on a shrug off a failed AZE upper body try
• 9-1 sweet duck under, and that's time

 

[pish69]

YEAH BO!! Are finals today? Does Berge wrestle again today?

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Man, super pumped for Bo.

 

[nerfstate]

Back to work boys--someone else can do PBP for Kerk

Finals are lunch time tomorrow

 

[LemonPie]

Bo's final opponent is pretty quick for a 92. Anticipating a great match!

 

[tikk10]

Kerk v Goloev (RUS) semi
Kerk reaches with a single and RUS goes behind. Two guts and it's 6-0.
Another single attempt comes up short, another go behind, and one more gut makes it a 10-0 tech.

Kolin Moore has flashbacks!

McBryde is going to be up on Mat A in about 4 matches for bronze at 79kg against Suri (TUR)

Kerk is obviously very talented, but that first takedown exchange is all I needed to see to know how his matchup with Cassar will go.

Easy re-attack

I'm afraid he's going to have to leave Columbus if he wants to reach the next level ...
