Lost first round to Chakaev (RUS) who then lost in the semis, eliminating StieberWhat happened to Stieber?
Crap, must have missed that. Thanks tikk!Lost first round to Chakaev (RUS) who then lost in the semis, eliminating Stieber
Wow, 35-yr old Bonne's five point fireman's carry is the criteria breaker against the heaviest weight class favorite.
Don't think Smith is doing commentary. Every time I listened, it was Hrovat (who said he didn't like handfighting...) and Shane Sparks. Smith has a very distinct voice, though, and I have it muted, so maybe I'm wrong.Why didn't John Smith i.d. that as a fireman's carry? He kept talking about the high crotch.![]()
10 BIG point up for grabs in the next two matches.
GO TAYLOR and YAZDANI !!
Well, I guess b/c it starts out as a high crotch. But by the time Bonne had the Russian over his shoulder he was basically finishing it like a fireman's carry, even if you don't typically stand up on a fireman's carry finish.Why didn't John Smith i.d. that as a fireman's carry?

TAYLOR DOES IT! And does it in style and the hard way (through the hell of a tough bracket). Takes out the reigning World and Olympic Champion. Takes out the Russian. Takes out the Cuban who gave him two tough close previous matches. Takes out the top seeded Turk with a tech.
