amoyan controlling the match with tur…
up 3-1 with about a ionute left…
amoyan rolls and bey still in it…
looking closer at the iranian kid who azizli will have in the finals…
19 years old and beat dadmarz this summer to get the iranian spot…
U17 champ… U20 champ last month… beat the KGY today who took second at the ranking series and then beat deleanu form moldovia who is a euro champ in about 30 seconds in the quarters…
this kid is legit…
i do not see him beating azizli but i also do not see him having any trouble with raney…
ugh…
UWW has a clip of raney running his arm bar on the iraq kid and ripping his shoulder out…
poor kid…
assuming azizli handles his business against the 19 year old iranian stud, raney will have another 18 year old from india who took bronze at the ranking tourney that raney missed weight at…

the 18 year old iranian stud immediately off the whistle clubs and get to the body and is up 2-0 on 4X world champ in the first 5 seconds…
gets to the body again right after but can not finsh as azizili tries to pop his head off… takes a bit of injury time…
they put azizili down first… 3-0 iran…
iran can not get anything goin in par terre…
that is how the first ends…
azizili coming out fiesty in the second and gets the iranian put down… 3-1…
wow… iran defense crazy good and nevr allows him to get a decent lock…
azizili tries an arm spin nothing doing… he is starting to get antsy…

officials confer…
white paddled… 2-2
bey with a duk and to the body gets the TD and turn… 6-2
POL comes back leading with the head… gets warned…
POL coming forward and bey duks for another TD… 8-2
POL coming forward but the pace has settled a bit… POL getting warned again and he is like come on man…

FRA former world champ, multiple medalist, euro champ…
ghanem controlling center…
sancho digs under but ghanem clears out… pace picking up a bit…
ref waiting long time to put anyuone down…
finally sancho put down with 1:15 left…
ghanem very deliberate but sancho defends well… they giving all the time in the world to ghanem and comes close but sancho holds strong… 1-0 FRA
that is how firsty ends… not super pumped with ref… she is breaking proceudre which always makes me nervous…
ghanem very active with shoulders… warnings…
sanchoi digs iunder… tries drag… ghanem straight arms him to his butt…
sancho getting pushed arpound…
they put sancho down again… not undeserved… 2-0 FRA
ghanem not tryiong too hard…
sancho gonna have to do somehting…
sancho gives up OOB… just not able to stand his ground in the second…
sancho has one moment getting to the body but ghanem comes back and just takes him OOB… 4-0…
that is the way it ends…
not a very typical effort from sancho… he is generally much more active and shows a tougher handfight…
oh well, wrestling is hard…
i have reached my limit of replies so will be editing this single post going forward…
foy and lithuania up next…
foy hasn’t shown much this season, but, who knows…
while waiting get to watch beautiful greco from sohrabi of iran…

ref calling action on foy…
they are calling to put foy down but foy whizzers and steps over for the TD… 2-0…
LTU taking him to the edge but foy whizzers out and circles back to center… that is the way the first ends 2-0 Foy…
LTU coming with the clunbs but foy standing firm in the handfioght…
ref breaks and warns for fingers… off the whislte LTU tries hard with unders… foy whiozzers again and gets the TD… 4-0 foy 1:30 left…
both wearing down a little but foy still standing strong…
foy brings home the 4-0 win…
keep making me look like an idiot foy… well played…
max will be up next in a few against sultangali of KAZ… multiple time world bronze and pumped with the overall draw… this is greco…
hard hand fight… KAZ gets max puyt down first…
fuk… max gives u pthe trun and then kaz gets the lift and does a super slick misdirect and goes forward for the 4…
7-0… clearly got work to do…
that is how the first ends…
max coming hard in the second… tries duk and gets warned for leading with head… KAZ takes one in the ear and takes some time…
replay shows it was inadvernbtent elbow… owwww
max gets him piut down… this is the match…
shit… max can’t get anything goin in par terre… 7-1
kaz playing defense as he should…
max trying duks and drags but cant get past… 7-1 the final and i am going to go kick my dog…
not gonna lie… that is deflating…
oh well…
bey up next…
bey quick duk and gets to the body and gets the TD for 2…
TUR controlling the hand fight right now and bey getting warned for action…
TUR has him in the zone but bey dances the edge and nothing…
ref wants to put bey down but white paddled… TUR gets the step out… 2-1… they put bey down with 30 seconds left… lame but understandable…
first ends 2-2 bey on criteria…
bey giving up gorund… he is going to need to pick up the pace…
ref calls for blue passive but white pacorrectly…
bey to the edge and dances out and gets behind but TUR scrambles and gets the step out…
US wants straight arm and bey slow to center and wants attention by the DR… this feels like a lunger break…
they put bey down again…
4-2 TUR… 1:30 left…
bey giving the tired look trying to bait…
or just really tired… 1:00
bey goes duk to body lock and gets the throw OOB for 2…
bey 4-4 criteria…
TUR throws the brick and wants legs but shouldnt get it…
replay shows an arm on the legs and iguth eb close…
lookms inadvertant but i might be hoping…
challenge won and 2 comes off…
bey goes full spider monkey with duks and drags and the klitchen sink but gets nothing…
that suks…
not sure i agree with the call but bey again waits too long looking for one punch instead of taking the action to them as has been is MO forever…
chatted with max… he is in decent spirits… feels confident he could get pulled back in… i can see KAZ getting to the semis… looking closer at the bracket and there is definitely a path…
missed foy while watching bey rip my heart again and appears he got rolled up pretty qucik by georgia…
catching the replay it is a 9-0 tech in the first…
KAZ up 4-0 early against israel… looking good…
KAZ had him down 8-2 but called for legs… comes back with a step out and up 5-2 at the break…
KAZ gets to the body off the whistle and goes feet to back and a turn and tech 11-2 early 2nd…
max still in it…
KAZ will have north korea in the quarters…
catching the aleksanyan replay i missed against china…
aleksanyan one of the best to ever do it… love watching that monster… watching him take off his silver on the podium at the olym[pics last year then seeing a vid of him throwing it o nthe ground outside and collapsing in disgust is what being the absolute best on the planet means to these athletes…
and i fukn get it…
ciobanu going down to india on the bottom of 60… another world champ goes down… greco is no joke…

ghanem and sohrabi getting real chippy…
ghanem up 2-1 early in the first in amtch that has been stopped sweveral times for excessive contact and blood…
snacho needs ghanem to win to stay alive…
sohrabi keeps leaking from getting his chin split open… these two are banging hard…
they put sohrabi down… 3-1 ghanem…
sohrabi defends welll and more blood time… they need to go full chin wrap or this match will never get over…
spey rabbling on like a 13 year old girl who can not really say anything but can’t stand any silence…
more blood time… these dudes might as well fight in the parking lot… this is getting silly…
ionly 40 seconds of blood time left before sohrabi will get DQed which i have enver seen happen for blood time…
they finbally wrap him up mummy style…
the first finally ends with sohrabi whining about getting hit again…
IRI taking extra time wrap sohrabi up again… even more silly f chin wrap…
sohrabi sells out for push out and gives up one of his own… 4-1 ghanem…
IRI screaming for caution for leading with the head…
they are getting the mat mopped agin but if they call for blood time it is over…
they are going to put ghanem down… i guess they called a [passivity???
4-2 sohrabi…
ghanem defends well and still 4-2 2 left
sohrabi now split open above the eye and l;eaking everywhere… this should be it but no one wants top DQ…
ghanem weants the DQ and he finally gets it…
sohrabi begging at the chairman table…
coaches losing their damn mind…
IRI coaches yellow carded…
sohrabi will not go to the center…
this is awful…
sohrabi sobbing in the center… wont leave the center of the mat…
finally we move on to 97
or not… sohrabi has top be pulled off the edge and IRI coaches are screaming like crazy…
i can’t blame them but to be honest…
after all the shenanigans sancho still alive in the bracket…

ganiev and mammaldi ends 7-4 with both collapsed o nthe mat… gonna have to go watch the replay on that
fuk wont let me go back…
chatting with max, talking about the mad craziness that has been going on…
that arena has been going nuts with all the shenanigans…
i need a break and i sitting here in a robe chilling by the warm glow of 3 monitors…
i will be back for the semis in a couple of hours…
texting with friends…
some who get it and some who don’t…
greco is just different and so much more competitive than free…
literally anyone can get beat at anytime…
KAZ “ranked” #43 in the world and just totally controlled #1 “ranked” and paris bronze medalist…
just straight killers everywhere…
you make one little mistake and you lose…
you don’t make any mistakes and you can lose…
greco is just different…
just caught the replay of ganiev and mammadli…
ganiev up ealr in the first 7-0 and that is the way it ends…
immediately off the whistle mammadli scores 4 and they both wrestle on the feet on the last 3 minutes with no breaks…
both totally spent at the end…
having to remain engaged and fighting 100% for 3 straight minutes is brutal…
ganiev and tibilov in the semis of the bottom of 60 will be crazy…
max thinks tibilov is the most complete guy in the world at 60 and he only has a lone senior world bronze…
getting ready to kick off the semis…
KAZ and Georgia to see if i am pumped or grumpy…
GEO big…
KAZ controlling center so far…
geo taking ground…
KAZ egts put down first…
kaz breaks his lock and nothing going… 1-0 geo
kaz with the under and geo tries big head lock and ends up on bottom but slip call…
geo gettying work done on his hip in the break…
kaz controlling with unders… geo gets put down…
geo defense on point… 1-1 geo criteria 2 minutes
kaz wants challenge for defensive legs…
possible… had a hand blocking a bit…
challenge lost… kaz will need to go get it done o nthe feet
kaz gets to the body but geo hips over…
kaz still digging unders pace quickens…
kaz front head and then to double unders…
geo calls injury but ref not interested in it… 1 minute
kaz digs unders and throws him by for 4 and then another 2 on the gut and kaz up 7-2…
yolo brick from geo…
i see what they want but looks inadvertent while kaz takes him to his back…
challenge lost KAZ up 8-2 15 seconds
geo clearly has a hip and he concedes the rest of the match…
max is back in…
