World Cup

Pretty much. Yianni lost to the same guy that beat him at World finals. First 2 guys were young 'uns
Yianni vs Amouzad was a great match. Yianni made adjustments and didn’t give up anything from the underhook or from the Amouzad whip over but he couldn’t generate much offense either. The duck he hit was beautiful though.
Really smart disciplined match from Pantaleo until the last 15 seconds. Got bailed out a bit with his head touching out before he got turned.
I can’t wait for Snyder vs Ghasempour!! That is a huge match. I have Snyder in a tight one but Ghasempour is as good as anyone in the world outside of Sadulauev

Nolf took about 20 shots and couldn't get through his D, tough loss.
JB goes down 6-6 on criteria. Savadkhoui is very good. He beat Sidakov just about a month ago. Not many people can say they have beaten both JB and Sidakov
I almost feel bad for Zahid because I think he is probably good enough to win world medals but is stuck behind Taylor. DT is just a horrible match-up for Zahid
At 86k. Valencia take down 2-0. Another take down 4-0. Intermission 4-0. Karimimachia on shot clock. Valencia 5-0. Karimi Push out 5-1. Karimi take down 5-3. That's the final 5-3
Zahid has wrestled well all weekend. not a fan of the hair though. he messes with it the entire match.
I agree. I commented on it yesterday. Zahid did wrestle really well all weekend though. He’s so explosive
At 92k. Nathan Jackson vs Amir Firouzpourba. Jackson double to back 4-0. Reversal 4-1. Take down Firouz 4-3, challenge USA. Ruled 1 pt fleeing 4-2. No TD. Jackson puts Firouz on back 6-2. Intermission.
Firouz expose back 6-4. Then Jackson takedown. 8-4 Final
Firouz expose back 6-4. Then Jackson takedown. 8-4 Final
At 97k. Kyle Snyder vs Kamran Ghasempour. Ghasem on shot clock. 1-0 Snyder. Intermission
Snyder on shot clock. Snyder with push out 2-0. Snyder push out 3-0. Snyder takedown 5-0. Captain America wins 5-0. Clinch World cup at 6-3. One match to go.

Snyder vs Ghasempour for the win!! Big match with the dual on the line. What a great ending for this World Cup. Really big for wrestling to have a match like this with 2 of biggest wrestling powers putting it on the line
I think sometimes people, myself included forget just how good Snyder is. Ghasempour completely shut down J’Den and Snyder just completely controlled Ghasempour. If it wasn’t for Sadulaev Kyle would probably be considered the US goat over JB. He still might get there especially since he wants to wrestle til he’s 40. Pretty special time for US wrestling with Kyle, JB, DT, Dake, J’Den, Gilman, etc
Masoumi is only 18?? He is already a walking Eclipse. Frightening
Spotted Suriano walking beside Nolf. Nick sporting a beanie and sunglasses.....inside. Classic Nick
PS: Thanks FLO....nice job producing a great show despite having to do it at a place more dangerous than Iran

NLWC has USA’s best 65kg in Nick Lee. Yianni has not and will not be invited to State College.
Likewise Dake wants to wrestle until he's 4.
That young Iranian hwt is so impressive. He is only 18. He looks 30 years old or older. He will be around a long time.
Are you refering to Nicky Dahmer?Masoumi is only 18?? He is already a walking Eclipse. Frightening

Understatement. If he has a growth spurt he will have a difficult time making 125KG. Might have to go Greco 130KG or go on a serious diet
A big CONGRATS to our World Cup Men's team who wrestled tough the entire weekend and finished off Iran in a great bout. Now we just need to get Olympic freestyle back up to 10 weight classes.
Here are the USA wrestling recaps of yesterday's action.

Anyone else wondering if Zahid vs DT will actually be at thing at Final X? Z-money has added a lot of power, and a pretty dominant par terre game since Final X. I feel like I was wondering if it would be tough for DT last year too--but Zahid was the best US wrestler this weekend (except for maybe Captain America).
Zahid looked great, but I just can't see anyone domestically beating a fully healthy and committed DT in a best of 3 this cycle.
How many
People thought Zahid might take a match or the series from DT this past year.
He didn’t score a single offensive point.

You're probably right--but I seems pretty clear to me that Zahid has jumped levels since then. Maybe he'll get a TD this year.
i think it would take age catching up to DT really quickly and we haven't seen any evidence of that.
I think DT is just a horrible match-up for Zahid. Taylor’s baseline defense has gotten so good that he’s not going to give up anything easy and his scrambling is still better than anyones. He’s also now bigger and stronger than pretty much every 86kg with the best gas tank in the world. I feel like DT is the number 1 or 2 p4p wrestler in the world right now (Sadulaev) after his complete dismantling of Yazdani at worlds. Zahid should make things closer than last time but it would take the perfect storm for him to knock off David
Kyle talks about how he likes to close out the meet, also talks about Varner having the heaviest hips he’s ever felt.
