Sidakov is just a much more technical wrestler. Dake's strength and endurance have won him a lot of matches. He just never wins when speed and technique are the deciding factors. Kadzi not only beat him, he won 11-0. Sidakov does just enough to beat Dake but could easily be disrespectful and run the score up on him. Burroughs was so much faster than Dake he kept him in out of the Olympics for a full decade. Dake wanted the Olympic gold so bad he used his college workaround and went up to 86KG trying to get past J'Den Cox in 2016 - Cox ate his lunch too. Ten weight classes in the worlds so the tough guys are easy to duck. Only six weight classes in the Olympics and those guys bring their A game. They use the worlds to try weight changes and new styles but all bring their A game to the Olympics.
Knee walking-crawling back to center is bad news. I didn’t do that, but I have shut down matches after scoring a feet to back near pin in first few seconds of match. I did win by a point, maybe 7 to 6 That was bad strategy on my part Thank you for posting great videos, with point on coaching strategies
Thank you for the breakdown and the teaching sir. I know almost nothing about wrestling, and I'm just starting to learn the sport. I can see how going low for the ankle and shelving the leg can work effectively against a more powerful wrestler. One question though - is Tazhudinov the David or the Goliath in this match? Kyle Snyder and Tazhudinov are currently both in the 215 lb weight range. Kyle is shorter, but he looks like an incredibly powerful athlete, and I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle can dead lift and squat more than Tazhudinov. It looked like Tazhudinov didn't win by having more power but brilliantly used Kyle's power against him. Maybe Tazhudinov was the David in this match, and won with a great game plan.
Deadlift and squats are important and Kyle is freakishly strong, but Tazhudinov has unbelievable hips. He did use Kyle's momentum and that's why I recommended not going up into his power. He'll need to make adjustments for the next time they meet.
@@bricker134 That's a really unexpected insight, and it makes sense. Thank you Mr. Bricker. I've just started watching wrestling matches so I have little context, but Tazhudinov's performance in this tournament was unlike any other match I've seen so far. He seemed to lay traps against snyder, and he took a totally different approach against Sadulaev, pouncing in with double legs after off-balancing Sadulaev. His movements almost seem effortless against these giants, and I don't think I've seen this level of dominance before.
Spencer Lee, scored off his under hook two or more times in their match. Under hook in freestyle, is used by many Iranian wrestlers. They score on push outs-step outs. They score many ways from under hooks, lat whips, throw byes, and knee picks, and more.
Spencer Lee, is already scoring with his under hook. One of his under hook scores came from Nico trying arm drag, but Spencer got his under hook, countering the arm drag. Is Nico younger than Spencer? Nico might be better suited for weight class they are in. Spencer looks to be able to be a bit lighter, but might not be able to make next weight class lower. This can cause Spencer to wrestle opponents who have a longer reach than him. But he is very strong in that weight class. I don’t know. I do know that if I ever had to wrestle either one of them, it would be over in less than twenty seconds. I would describe the match like this “I was minding my own business, when all the sudden, the world turned upside down” Thank you for making great videos, you have an eye for detail, catching important coaching points in live action!
I had the pleasure of coaching with a ‘70’s product of Greensburg-Salem and Lock Haven named Ron Palmer. He constantly told the kids “it’s always the little things!”
Great point man. We see some of these dominant wrestlers make it looking seemingly so easy. But we all know it’s not. It’s that they’ve focused “on the little things”. 🙏🏼
I had the same thought on the two Ramos matches! Nice to see you break those down identically. Technology is feeding and growing the nuance in the sport like never before!
Wooowweeewowow. At 2:43 Doug Schwab almost made Chris Marshall kick the ref in the face 😂. If you’re in the finals and see that gangster lift with 3 seconds left, that will absolutely get into the head of 90% of MS & HS wrestlers. Do you think Marshall got off the mat, looking forward to wrestling him again in the future after getting dummyflinged in the air and mollywhoped into the mat? That’s the way a boss returns with filthy technique and power. Most guys wouldn’t expend that energy that late so kudos for putting that nail in the coffin. Then to let him go and walk off like that, Sheesh. That was legendary and thank you for bringing this SF match to my attention. 🙏🏼
JJ Peace got his one takedown on Bo bc he was reaching. But he rolled JJ up the rest of the match. JB I love what you’re doing growing the sport and providing your expertise to all the young wrestlers coming up. And for that we ALL appreciate you 🙏🏼
Dake cant offend because of Sidakov's dominant and defensive ties. Dake could try to be offensive but he would need a handfighting system that can beat Sidakov. The only way you have a chance against Sidakov, is if you beat his hands, just like Tsabolov did. But now Sidakov has better scrambling and hand defense. Tsabolov vs Sidakov was a better and closer match up in this championship.
I can personally vouch that this coaching...and in this case, from this exact man...helped me become a better wrestler and more importantly, a better person.
