Yasar Dogu (Turkey) this weekend (July 27-29) - US team going
- Thread starter dmm53
- Start date
Just re-watched those two matches. Wow, Suleymanov wrestles dirty.
DT has 50% of the Pinfalls in the tourney so far.
Funny how some of the Freestyle purists are joking about DTs cradles. One thing I don't get with Free is why there isn't more emphasis on pinning. I understand cradles can lead you exposing yourself, but DT seems to be doing OK using them.

Yeah, a few calls in the Green and Cox matches didn't make sense to me, though calls in freestyle matches rarely do.
Officiating aside, they were bad losses for Green and Cox. Green gives up a takedown with no time on the clock after gassing badly. Cox looked like he could barely stand up at the end of his match.
Replays of these and a few others (Dake, Gwiz) are posted and free on Track Wrestling.
Whats the best way to watch today? I have seen Track and UWW as options but heard the streaming has been bad too

Pulled up Track and Mat A is very choppy, Mat B nothing is on, Mat C seems fine. Hoping the finals are on Mat C
It appears this will be he finals Mat. Showing 57k finals are next. No sound right now though.
Yazdani is a monster and he's still only 23-years old. Yes, DT pinned him last year, but don't sleep on the guy. He's one of the best PFP wrestlers in the world, IMHO.
1st
Burroughs goes at Chamizo's ankles off the whistle and looks like he converted but is only awarded 1 step out. Challenged. Lost. 1-1, Chamizo with criteria at moment. Both mostly working from space, lots of feints. Dry mat helping. With Chamizo on the clock, Burroughs gets to Chamizo's right leg and pushes out, up 2-1. End of first.
2nd
Burroughs gets an ankle and follows through, outscrambling Chamizo to go up 4-1. Chamizo works from bottom with Burroughs leg and gets a reversal. Chamizo challenging the reversal I think, claiming there was exposure. Lost. 5-2. Burroughs again on the leg, drives out, 602
Chamizo on the leg now, has Burroughs in a quad pod, finally breaks him down to make it 6-4.
Burroughs again converts a low single to a TD, making it 8-4, but Chamizo gets out and goes feet to back at the edge of the mat to tie, up 8-8 on criteria. Then another TD by Chamizo to make it 10-8. With 6 seconds on the clock Burroughs ties it but is behind on criteria, 10-10. Burroughs gets behind with 3 seconds left but can't break Chamizo down, Chamizo takes it. Great match, both guys left it go out there.

Really tough to see the 4 Chamizo points at the edge due to a less than optimal camera angle. But Burroughs had already wasted his brick in the first, which looked like a bad decision even at the time, and worse after that.
It may be the most stupid rule I've ever heard of. You are warned for passivity and put on the clock. The other guy scores a point, so you are left off the hook? Seriously?
Apparently, broadcasting a single DT match this weekend was too much for the UWW. You can choose to believe that he pinned four opponents on his way to gold but there's no documentary evidence of it so you'll have to trust eyewitness accounts on Twitter.
