Giovanni 63 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) On the plus side, at least Rashidov is in the meat grinder every bit as much as Zane. So if he can somehow make a run, and Russia drops one before semis, could create some nice separation in team points. A huge "IF" and more likely to go the other way for team USA (similar scenario for Fix at 57). These first two weights will set the stage for either a very entertaining team race, or team title hopes could be crushed on day one.

jmachinder 68 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Otoguro is a monster - his set-up-to-four-point-doubles are amazing. In a matchup with Zain, the old Gable quote of "The more you're in on his legs, the less he's in on yours" is very true. Pressure him and make him play defense the whole first period. Otoguro is not the type of wrestler to hold onto a lead either - he just keeps going. If Zain cranks up the pace, he'll go right with him. Maybe Otoguro run out of gas. Easy strategy to type, super tough the execute. Of course IF they meet each other...No gimmes in this bracket. 2 1 Giovanni, Relentless125 and airmail reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micic lost to Atli 5-4 in 1/4 and Atli won his semis which pulled Micic back in. Micic will need to win 1 match tomorrow to get into bronze match Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
