That everything is done through a trials process makes the US wrestling execs much less powerful than their foreign counterparts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall someone from USA-Wrestling saying he expects both teams to send their best line up when this was first announced. Valencia is a good wrestler but Yazdani will under hook bully him without much issue. Did Dake or Taylor ever provide a reason for skipping this dual? I get why Taylor might sit out, but makes no sense why we're sending Nolf instead of Dake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2td3nf 582 Report post Posted January 19 20 hours ago, Mphillips said: Why don't folks believe that if Dake wanted to wrestle he would be wrestling? Yes, no problem I get it. Maybe Dake and Taylor need some time off (banged up, time with family, personal, peak for next World's.....whatever) from high level competition. And unfortunately we all saw what happened to DT in an exhibition at BTS. So again, no problem here. But initially seeing them off the roster for such a cool event was surprising and disappointing. Nonetheless should be fascinating to see Nolf compete against Emami coming off his Tsabalov win and his trip to Dagestan. Plus should be very entertaining to see if Zahid's technique can hang with Hassan"s power and underhook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume they are trying to negotiate with Gable so we get the headline of Zare vs him which would be huge. Are Dake and Taylor out because the refuse to vax?

Uwwdoc 114 Report post Posted January 30 (edited) Confirmed line up for Iran: 57-Sarlak 61-majid dastan 65-Rahman Amouzad 70-Erfan Elahi 74-Younes Emami 79-Nokhodi 86-Yazdani 92-Ghasempour 97-Goleij 125-Zare Cox vs Kamran will be good. Hopefully Kamran is fully fit. Goleij vs Snyder also will be good. Good experience for Nokhodi to battle Burroughs again only a few months from Oslo. And Zare vs .....? The IWF spokesman is saying the Visas have not been confirmed yet even though there are suggestions it has been by other sources Edited January 30 by Uwwdoc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst Zare has no incentive to change and will come with the game plan that has worked over and over again against Gwiz it seems the onus is on Gwiz to try something new to stop the bout going the way his other matches went against Zare. The ball is in Gwiz's court to try and get a different result this time. Edited January 31 by window12 typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sstern 190 Report post Posted January 31 On 1/13/2022 at 7:27 PM, The Genius said: Iran is a strong favourite at 86kg and 125kg (assuming no Gable), the US is a strong favourite at 57kg, 61kg and 79kg. 65kg, 70kg, 74kg, 92kg and 97kg could go either way. Snyder is the favorite at 97. If he doesn’t win this the PSU experiment is a failure. And I hope he wins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
