excuses are for wussies
Sealey is now on deck on A. I can do PBP for that but then have to turn my attention to PSU Michigan.
Coming to the mat now: Joe Sealey vs. Chandermohan of India. The winner gets Kydyn Luk Correa of Brazil.
79 kilogram qualification round match: Joe Sealey (USA) vs. Chandermohan (India)
First period
There is some kind of stoppage seven minutes into the match. There appears to be some kind of a tech issue, perhaps the scoreboard or something. Not sure. Thus is a lengthy delay now, though. Alright, now we're getting back to action.
Both wrestlers are very active with their hands early in this one. Sealey tries to trip, can't, tries a low single, can't get there, and then Sealey is warned for passivity. Next one will put him on the clock. On the restart he again shoots but can't get there. Sealey si now put on the clock at the 4:37 mark of the first. Chandermohan shoots on a single that Sealey is desperately trying to fight off, and he does, only giving up a stepout in the process. The clock expires shortly after and it is 2-0 Chandermohan at the 4:00 mark. Chandermohan quickly shoots and drives Sealey of the edge for a 3-0 lead at 3:57. Sealey shoots on a low single that Chandermohan counters on and scores a takedown for a 5-0 lead and is trying to get the leg laces going. As he does, though, the referee stops the action. Not sure why, but it's good for Sealey.
Chandermohan leads 5-0 at the break.
Second period
Sealey tries to throw Chandermohan by early in the second and a scramble ensues but neither wrestler gets control. It's still 5-0. Now Sealey is in on a low single but Chandermohan fends it off pretty easily with two minutes to go. Sealey shoots again but can't get to Chandermohan, who is doing a great job holding center and now races behind Sealey for a takedown and rolls him for four, and that's that.
Chandermohan beats Sealey 11-0.

He’s wrestling up one weight class against a good wrestler. May still get pulled into repechage
so Merril warned for head butt then does it again as soon as he starts don't like that!
Which is why his selection at 79Kg by USAW is a bit puzzling. Joe is good, but not strong enough at this level and weight class.
If he can make the semis he will have Mahdi Yousefi IRI who has been 2025 U23 World Bronze, 2025 U20 World Gold, 2024 U23 World Gold, 2024 U20 World Bronze. I hope we get a Minto vs Yousefi in the finals it's one of the matches I wanted to see when I saw they both registered
I don't like it either. Here it is fyi: https://www.flowrestling.org/video/...-coby-lazo-merrill-united-states?classic=true
We don't know how many other wrestlers turned down the opportunity before inviting Sealey.
Minto just got teched by Saidulov!! 13-3. That makes me think MM will not have a ton of trouble. Saidulov got in over and over and finished pretty much every time
Agree Mitchell will live on his legs
Well ****. I didn’t see that coming. Lilledahl goes down 3-1. He couldn’t generate any offense at all
Rough. Luke looks completely sucked out.
And it looked like he was getting tired odd match from him
He looked gaunt in his face and listless the whole match.
