Billyhoyle 2,479 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 WOOOOOOHHHHHH. Dominant. He's only going to get better as he gets more used to FS. Enough Burroughs, what is Green going to do next year? He'll go 65kg and if he can cut the weight right, he'll be a medal contender (already has a win over the world champ). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STLBOY 9 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Wow! Green looked very tough, hell of a tournament. He looks very sharp on his feet and very comfortable. He has a bright future and I am looking forward to seeing more of him on the international scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone is going to have to explain to me how a college 157 pounder is supposed to 65kg (=143lb). How different are the weigh in rules that that would be possible?

MrWonderful 5 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Burroughs, Geduev and Tsargush look to be about the same level..matches super close...Yazdani looks to be someone who can just go up to 74kg and just beat them all and be the new star. He is an amazing talent already, imagine in 1 year. Still sticking to this comment? Not saying he can't with some (a lot) of improvement, but he hasn't done anything close to justifying this statement. You are talking about two multi-multi-time world champs and a guy that can give the both grief vs. a 1st time silver medalist at a lower weight class....

AnklePicker 646 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 That's optmistic. Burroughs doesn't tech many of the elites. Beat him? Probably. Tech him, that's saying a lot. Just like I said, Burroughs would tech him, now I think he'd do it easily. He's bigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How different are the weigh in rules that that would be possible? Yes, good question. But Metcalf and Humprey are both well below their college weights and they were in college a while ago.

Billyhoyle 2,479 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Someone is going to have to explain to me how a college 157 pounder is supposed to 65kg (=143lb). How different are the weigh in rules that that would be possible? Don't you remember Mike Zadick and Nate Gallick going 60kg? It's just a matter of shrinking their bodies a bit..and not having weekly hour before weigh ins. Whether he is as effective is another question..I don't know the answer to that one. And Yazdani got taken apart in the finals..wow. I think he will still be dangerous for a long time though.

Tofurky 616 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Does Spencer Lee start looking west of the Mighty Mississipp to Nebraska after this latest, most excellent result by Mr. Green? I have to believe that these results might not be unique to middle weights alone, given the effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Yazdani got taken apart in the finals..wow. I think he will still be dangerous for a long time though. I actually wasn't aware of that, but looked it up. The story has a lot in common with Green. Zadick a 3x all-American in college, 149 pounds, highest place was third. Then wrestles 132 internationally earns a silver medal in the worlds in 2006 (graduated in 2002). His weight class drop was 17 pounds between college and internationally. Green from 157 to 143 is only 14 pounds and off of a higher base. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
