armspin 257 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Haven't seen the match but feet to back is 4. Butt or knees to back is. 2. It's worth noting that an exposure from knees or butt is no longer worth more than a td which changes strategy somewhat. Also a td follower by a turn is 2 + 2. A turn first followed by control is just 2. One of the idiosyncrasies of the scoring system. 1 Coach_J reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuckFor2 187 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 is Khubezhty the guy who beat Tsargush at Russia Natl's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Glad Safayran won he's been in a huge funk since his world title. There are 2 Khubetzys, one of them beat Tsargush 3 nationals ago but dnp at worlds. Regardless, good win. It's important to remember that Taylor is really, really good. Just because he's not as good as Tsargush or Dake people get very down on him.

WildTurkey44 321 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 I don't think anybody really gets down on Taylor. They just feel for him given the circumstances we all know. 1 Coach_J reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestfan 635 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Mohammadian created a little chance for himself by winning the gold here, cuz Yazdani is injured (once again) and his situation is not clear yet. in this case I expect a wrestle-off between Tahan and Mohammadian probably in Poland. Karimi in 86kg final today against Soslan Tigiev, after beating Soslan Ktsoev (6-0), Vladislav Valiev (4-0) and Nodar Egadze (18-8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongShot 13 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 I think its an important statement by DT to come out and compete well after those trials. Many were calling for him to jump weights or even sports (Foley) after the trials. He'll be right there threatening for an Olympic spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hubbard 426 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Is he considering growing into 86? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angry_Fish 313 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Personally, I am hoping Wrestling implements an 80KG class in '17 and tries for the next 3 years to get 61 70 and 80 all into the 2020 Olympics. If there is an 80 in '17 Worlds, I would hope DT goes up to 80. And maybe KD thinks about 70KG, expecially if there is hope that the 70KG will be in the 2020 Olympics.

Angry_Fish 313 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Never heard that from DT just a few that have written that on here. 86 seems like too much of a jump....80 on the other hand............... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2td3nf 546 Report post Posted August 11, 2015 There is talk that Taylor may move up to 86kg. Don't know how accurate that is though. Wonder how much he cuts to get to 74? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted August 12, 2015 Weighed in at 80 a while ago. That's a lot of mass to put on. 1 2td3nf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
