armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Yazdani won. Former TWT poster Yuri Maier down 5-0 to Gayzuov when my feed cut out so Ill assume Gayzumov won. Amit Kumar (India) beat Japan 10-2. Note that Sandhu actuually beat Turkey, not France, which is a much bigger deal. Great start for Canada. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Specops76 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Bergman got pinned in first round after leading 3-0 for most of the match. I didn't expect Bergman to really do anything at this tournament but, wow, what a way to lose a match! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Great match between Israpilov and Yang, 5-5 at the break! Palani (Canada) lost to Venezuela 7-0. Israpilov beats Yang 11-8, spectacular match but it really looks like Israpilov was pinned in the 2nd. Escobedo wins 6-0. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flying-Tiger 617 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Brent just doesn't have the offense against the elite international wrestlers. Lets hope he gets a chance to advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Taghavi plays his stall-stall-explode game to perfection, wins 5-2. Metcalf tried to push the pace in the second but Taghavi, who looked a lot stronger, just shrugged him off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Specops76 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Relatively easy win for Taghavi there. Don't know if Taghavi is just THAT good or Metcalf was not as prepared as everyone wanted to believe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Horrible style matchup for Brent. BM's gives up points and makes up for it by wearing his opponents down. Taghavi is strong as an ox, scores on his opportunities and doens't let Brent wear on him. Garcia scores a caution to go up in his second match.

armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Garcia with a TD, the Kazakhi complaining the Garcia bit him! Stuff like this has happened before, unfortunately. Garcia wins an ugly match 3-2, has Germany next. Boltukaev beats Tigiev (a training partner of the Russians I think 6-0. Lopez hangs on to beat Japan in a wild match.

armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 His next match vs Kumar will be the toughest one. The Indian is really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank_Rizzo 334 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Relatively easy win for Taghavi there. Don't know if Taghavi is just THAT good or Metcalf was not as prepared as everyone wanted to believe? Well, Taghavi is a two-time World champ. So yes, he's that good. But in terms of Metcalf being unprepared? I seriously doubt that. It's just a matter of the other guy being better. Brutal draw for Metcalf, so hopefully he'll get a chance at repechage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckFor2 193 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Metcalf, one and done. very disappointing. and a tough draw. as Taghavi falls to Belarus...3-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Down goes Taghavi to Belarus! Serves him right too. Sat on a 1-1 lead all match and got taken down right at the end. Anyone know the Belarussian's credentials?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armspin 257 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Kurbanaliev beats Gor 7-7 in a wild one. A last second scramble is scored 2-2, Id like to see that again. Boltukaev with a 14-6 tech over Japan.Gayzumov looking awesome, wins by tech to set up a match with Boltukaev in the semis. Garcia with a routine 4-1 win!

rickybobby 39 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Taghavi loses in the next round, so Metcalf is one and done. The guy Bergman lost to has Gazyumov next, so he is likely one and done also. Escobedo has Kumar next. Even if he loses, he has at least a decent shot of being pulled back. Still, not a great start for team USA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaroslav Hasek 1,970 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 just got in to work late having stayed home to watch the first 4 US matches. Escobedo looked great. not that his opponents were medal threats but he took care of business. i was impressed. Metcalf got a tough draw and lost to a superior opponent. Taghavi had better shots and finishes. seeing as how Taghavi lost his next match, you almost wish Metcalf hadn't have wrestled so hard and left Taghavi more in his tank for the next match! Bergman's match was a real bummer. looked like he just relaxed at the wrong moment. he's going to be thinking about that one for a while. sucks but thats what happens. the Yang Israpilov match was insane. very entertaining. tough break for Yang.
