Amine has Yazdani. Brooks wrestles a Bulgarian, Ramazanov

Who will you want to win?

To be honest I'm not sure. I don't have anything against Spencer Lee and he is wrestling for the United States but RBY is a PSU guy. I'd love to see either of these guys win an Olympic Gold. I am more intrigued by the matchup than I am about who ultimately wins.

EDIT - After reading the rest of the thread it's irrelevant now. I have had a super busy week for work so I was not able to get up early and watch these, sadly.

Painful to read

LETS GO SPENCER (that feels so weird to say)

 

[Karl_Havok]

And Spencer demolishes his opponent. What a match.

Edit - I truly don’t understand freestyle then. How that’s four for blue is stupid AF.

 

[Psuproud]

Damn that was impressive

 

[GregPickel]

Talk about a demolition. Wow.

 

[cb1994]

God that was so good. What a counter off those underhooks

 

[cb1994]

WOW. DOES NOT CARE.

No score. 1-0 lead for Brooks. Brooks shoots on a double leg and scores on the edge for a 3-0 lead at the break.

 

[Psuproud]

Pure power

 

[GregPickel]

Brooks dropped on a single with 1:40 to wrestle but Ramazanov countered for a takedown to cut the deficit to 3-2 and threw legs in and nearly took Brooks to his back but the Team USA wrestler held on for a stalemate and no scoring.Still 3-2 with 1:08 to wrestle.

[Karl_Havok]

Wow. That one hurts.

Mother ****

 

[cb1994]

Oh my god no he had it

 

[KJB32812]

He gassed. It all started when he got his head tucked under. Don't see that often.
