My most anticipated match of the whole event is coming up next between Azimi of Iran and Khaniev of Russia. Khaniev beat Snyder earlier this year. Azimi won senior Asians this year and lost a 5-5 criteria match to Hidlay this year. 2 of the very best guys in the world
They are going now. Sorry, I’m not Pete so you’re on your own.

Davino wins by fall I think. Had to only be a second or 2 left in the match and he was leading 4-1. He is so damn hard to score on. No wonder him and Blaze always go to rideouts

Here we go! James vs Baitukaev. Should be a great one. Baitukaev is incredible. Has a win over PJ from U20’s

He’s the nephew of the Saitiev’s correct?
I think that was the talk during the U20 tournament where he beat PJ but I’m not sure. I’ve it heard both ways

Tough loss for James. He’s obviously right there. I think he needs to just take a real shot from time to time. He gets in the habit of just taking half shots to create action where his feel almost always wins out but against top guys they can shut it down. Still, he’s had an incredible year especially for an 18 year old

James keeps using that same move hook the arm the try and get his leg hook for the TD when it works cool but when it doesn't he gets taken down not working to well!

One more story. I wore a Penn State Wrestling T shirt today. When I entered the venue building an older woman was standing there checking tickets. She saw my shirt and said “Penn State! I don’t know Penn State had a wrestling team.” I almost choked! I didn’t even know what to say. 🤣

I take it she was wearing a Hawkeye wrestling shirt?

Among many things she didn't know!
