A year after Akzhol MAKHMUDOV 🇰🇬 and Kamal BEY 🇺🇸 put on one of the most electric junior world finals matchups ever, fans were treated to wrestling’s most anticipated age-group rematches in recent memory.
Despite giving it his all in Finland, Makhumdov surrendered 16 points and dropped that ’17 world finals meeting against Bey, 16-11.
Makhmudov waited an entire year to get his revenge, and after Bey and the Kyrgyz great lost to Islam OPIEV 🇷🇺, the rematch we were all waiting for was set!
But this time, it was for world bronze and not world gold.
Makhmudov, the eventual Tokyo Olympic silver medalist, took a much different approach to the match this time around. He gave up 15 fewer points than the year before and picked up a tactical seven-point win over Bey.
