More changes to Bout at the Ballpark, no Mongolian women, Canadians instead. Hopefully they can avoid the truckers.

Zain‘s quarterfinal is live now




…
. . . Wins 12-2 early in the second Scroll to 4:53:00 for the start of the match

 

[El-Jefe]

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Zain looks way beefier. Bulking to 74 for oly eventually or staying at 70 for worlds opportunities?

 

[nerfstate]

Zain's Semi Starts at 7:43:55
His opponent seemed to hurt his knee on the the classic Zain arm-drag to single. Then, he didn't have much fight for the bow & arrow, conceding the fall.

Has a Bulgarian tomorrow in the finals.

I have a hard time seeing Zain at 74. My bet is he wants to see what noise he can make on a good feed at 70 for at least the next 2 years, then probably go back to 65 for Oly Trials.

Yeah that makes sense. I think he looks good, but I don't really know the competition levels of this tourny.

Ramazan Ramazanov is ex-Russian now wrestling for Bulgaria. A couple years ago Ramazanov made the Alans Tournament finals, including a win over the current top Russian 70 kg wrestler (Zherbaev), but he is not currently listed in the Intermat's International FS rankings for 70kg. Should be a pretty good test for Zain.

 

[nerfstate]

Josh Rodriguez wins 2 in repecharge and will wrestle for 3rd in the medal round.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Any idea when finals are?

Josh up now

 

[El-Jefe]

Rodriguez in a wild match -- down 8-7 after 1.

Rodriguez T2 on a single, then 2 gut wrenches, lost control of the 2nd and reversed to his back -- up 6-2.

Rodriguez on another single but countered into a trapped-arm gut. T2 + 2 tilts for India, then R1 for Rodriguez. 7-6 Rodriguez.

Before restart, India challenges, Scoreboard says "Challenge Lost" which should make the score 8-6 Rodriguez, but instead it's 8-7 India after 1.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Zain up.

 

[El-Jefe]

2nd: Rodriguez up 9-8 on a takedown. Lots of shots from India but only got in 2x, both easily whizzered. India failed challenge with 4 sec left --> 10-8 final, Rodriguez wins.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Why does Zain even let that move happen. H was riding super high and then gets bumped to his back for four.

I thought that was a terrible call --Zain side headlocked him for what should've been 4 for Zain.

IMO a case where folk hurts, because the international refs had no clue what was actually happening. Plus a lost challenge because the replay official had no clue either.

Fair point and Zain is back in control. Looks great. 10-6 Zain is the champ!

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Zain comes from behind to win 10-6 after trailing 5-0. Opponent was pretty dirty. Also there was a C1 in there I think for fleeing when Zain was defending a takedown which was weird.

 

[Petch]

Zain wins! 10-6. Totally dominated that guy and score should never have been that close!

 

[El-Jefe]

Zain 10-6 final on 2 more takedowns + a pushout.

Nowhere near as close as the score. Zain had ALL of the offense. The Russian Romanian had only that questionable 4+1, and another questionable (step out?) point when Zain got out of a go-behind situation.

 

[Truth_Talk]

Thats a good win for zain

 

[nerfstate]

Weird match, that definitely highlighted some significant contrasts between the 2 styles. Zain gets a classic peel & turn "escape" from rear standing, and gets dinged for fleeing the hold, etc. He seems pretty short for the weight—he’s going to have to watch those crotch and chest lock positions, but his pace and conditioning is still elite.

Anyone catch what it was that had Zain kind of fired up talking to the ref? I didnt' see what the Russian was doing.

I think he was first trying to argue and explain the bogus 4+1 that the Bulgarian was gifted. Then he was pissed about the Bulgarian head slapping barrage. Ref awarded Zain a point after he said something.

That's what I thought.

Those overhand right "ties" were Rutgers-esque.

For anyone looking, Zain's Final (below should start at 08:04:26):

 

[AndEEss]

Bekzod is going to Yasar Dogu. Look like the Uzbek federation is paying his way. Do we have any other 74s going? Any possible NLWC on NLWC crime?

 

[johnstownsteel]

Anyone know who was in Zains corner? Casey? Can’t tell in video.

ummm...I was wondering as well. He didn't look that big so I wasn't sure it was Jake. Eye test is never wrong
