Katie 1,076 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Lots of competitors entered at 74kg. Chamizo is the #1 seed. JB is #2. And Sidakov is #3. If JB makes it to the finals, here are his likely opponents: R32- Nurykau (Belarus). He's a good wrestler who has beaten iMart. R16- the winner of Kuramagomedov (Hungary)/Kirov (Bulgaria). Should be manageable. Quarters- whoever comes out alive between Gomez, Bezkod, and Demirtas. Won't be easy. Semis- Sidakov. Very tough. Finals- Chamizo. Very tough.

MDogg 273 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 JB has just about the worst draw possible, and Chamizo has just about the best. To win gold JB will likely have to avenge losses to guys who have beaten him in the quarters, semis, and finals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gomez (1x medalist) and Bezkod (2x medalist) will have the most heroic road to the finals. Pigtail- Eachother R32- old man Garzon (4x medalist) R16- Demirtas (2x medalist) Quarters- Burroughs (5x champ) Semis- Sidakov (reigning champ) Finals- Chamizo (2x champ) That's just ridiculous.

He just wrestles at as many ranking tournaments as he can. Burroughs got to a few of them, thus earning his 2nd seed. 1 GoNotQuietly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it was smart, a few guys took advantage. Bajrang also wrestled everywhere to get that 1 seed, and he had a great draw to get to the semis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mspart 270 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 You all make it look like JB got a bad draw. Ever consider that those in his bracket and facing him feel they have the tough draw. The whole point of the tourney is to beat all comers. JB has a history of doing just that. mspart 2 NJDan and fadzaev2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, the "YOU'RE THE BAD DRAW!!! NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOU IN THE BRACKET!!!" talk is for lazy coaches that can't think of any better way to prepare their wrestlers. 1 backpack reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDan 1,113 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Maybe slightly off point, but it seems to me that JB used to drive guys crazy with his fakes, but he does not fake as much as he used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmachinder 71 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Aside from Sidakov, JB has beaten everyone who has beaten him at least twice (Marable, Dake, Imar, Gudeuv, Chamizo, Tsargush, Abdurakmanov) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spladle08 1,191 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 The rules are pretty clear. Head to head has no bearing on seedsRight? Anyone can wrestle ranking events... Chamizo did? I dont see how fans think he should be punished for sitting a match, when he literally wrestled the most high level tournaments of anyone. Hence earning the most points as a returning non-medalist.... Also whoever said Sidakov is tougher matchup than Chamizo.. "lol" Last year as surprise entrant, he had a miraculous run. He has been really close with "the field" since... and with the target on his back I don't see the big dogs getting caught sleeping. If anyone but Burroughs comes out of the bottom side I'll favor Chamizo. If it is JB. Its a toss. Also note . JBs first match terrifies me. I think he is pretty solid through semis after that we'll see Also ....I think Franklin actually navigates his way to JB 1 GoNotQuietly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
