Dake vs Dzhioev (AZE)

Dake in Blue, AZE in red. AZE knocked off Greece and Georgia on his way to the finals. Dake smiling and looking relaxed on his walk out. And here we go!

Heavy handfighting from both wrestlers to start and they both get a verbal. AZE tying up Dake's fingers and he is the first to get warned for passivity. Halfway through the first and no score. AZE goes on the clock. Dake warned for heavy clubs. Dake on the board first with a passivity point, 1-0. Dake gets warned for passivity. AZE digs an underhook and tries to run Dake down, but no scoring, and we go to the break 1-0, Dake.

Immediately on the restart, both guys get stern warning for heavy hands. Dake in on a slide-by, switches to a double on the edge and finishes. 3-0 Dake. AZE digs underhook and gets a pushout, 3-1. 1:30 left. AZE with heavy collar ties, Dake playing defense. Dake is put on the clock with 1:07 left. No scoring, so AZE gets a passivity point, 3-2 Dake. Restart with 0:11. AZE on the legs, Dake to chest wrap, and he hangs on to win, 3-2!!!!!!!!

5x World Champion, NLWC's own, KYLE DAKE!!!!!

Zzz: you don’t see Marcus heading up to 65 kg next year to better set him up for ‘28 OTT? Wasn’t it just last year that Blaze moved up to 65 kg and beat Bassett in WTT for U23s?
Click to expand...
I think he stays at 61kg next year. Such a huge advantage sitting out to final X. I don’t remember if you medal but change weights if you get any sort of advantage. If he stays at 61kg he has a great shot at making the team and bringing home the gold. He did go up to 65kg last year because he lost at 61kg and couldn’t get to final X. He actually made the senior team at both weights. He was definitely undersized at 65kg though. I think he can continue to fill out and be a bigger 61kg next year and then jump to 65kg for the Olympic cycle

What a tournament for the USA! Trent and Levi have super tough matches against Russia and Iran but I think they both win gold. Green with a pretty brutal path. He should win his next match but then would have Baby Yaz followed by Salkazanov. Tough road. 10 medals would be out of this world but 9 would make me quite happy as well. I’m still a bit gutted for Zain and Blaze though. I really do think they were the best guys but I have to hand it to their opponents. Really incredible and super tight matches

Isn't USA max actually 210? Lee, Haines and Hidlay can get 15. Green can get to 15. Am I missing someone?

I think you are right. 15 more points possible for Spencer, Levi, and Trent and 15 possible for Green for a total of 30. Pretty sure the max should be 210

Are we getting to the point where Blaze is a ‘once every four years’ 57KG? Don’t think he’s grown much at all. Didn’t really expect that, but it happens.

Y'know who is awesome? Cody ... His calmness likely keeps the wrestlers calm. He rarely tells them how to wrestle - they know by now! But I heard him tell Levi he was up by criteria and advise him how much time was left. Levi can focus on his opponent rather than having to sneak peeks at the clock and scoreboard.

That is truly amazing, something that will never be done again.

Maybe he can change over to Greco after 28 and see what he can do.

I did not give Dake much of a shot at winning another world title. It's incredible how he has continually moved up as he's aged and just kept winning. Not only the age, but he probably was the physically smallest guy in the 86kg weight class. Amazing.

Must be getting old , when I read this I thought you wrote Corby and I am sitting here thinking how do you know he is calm and how can Levi hear him through the computer. Took me reading this three times before I realized you said Cody
