Three in a row for TMWC after losing the first 4. Nazar got a last second 4 to win, Dake dominated Paemani, Taylor beat Karimi 3-1. Dake is going to be a world champion.
Heflin and Shabazigazvar tied 2-2, Shabaz gets a pushout to go up 3-2 with about 35 seconds left in the match. Officials want to look at it to see if it's a 1 or 2, they confirm it's a 1. Iran challenges, up 3-2, knowing if they lose the challenge they are now losing the match 3-3 on criteria. Iran wins the challenge to go up 4-2, then the ref stops the match REAL quickly when Heflin gets a front headlock with 20 seconds left.
Snyder is wrestling Baitsaev with TMWC down 5-3. Baitsaev is probably the guy for Russia next year if Sadulaev stays at 92kg. Baitsaev nearly beat Sadulaev at Russian Nationals last year.
Gwiz up 3-2 on Petriashvili, Geno gets a TD and gut to go up 6-3. Gwiz gets a takedown of his own with about 30 seconds left to make it 6-5, but can't get another. Easy Pipe (lol) is 2017 World Clubs Cup champion.

Little surprised that Jordan Decatur and Malik Heinselman lost to guys that they should be beating, but Jacob Decaur and Rocky Jordan are reppin, and Braxton Amos is our top priority in 2020.
Rocky got lucky in the quarterfinals and benefitted from a ridiculous out of bounds call. Kharcilava is enormous. Refs let Crace get away without taking 1 shot and he benefitted from a ridiculous out of bounds call as well. Dude had some insane defense though. Malik looked underwhelming today
Some wild shit in this Silva-Woods match, a shoe coming off leads to points which leads to a near brawl between the coaches
Who forgot about David McFadden's return? Returning true freshman all-american from 2015 who sat out 2016 due to ACL surgery? He's looked like a beast so far this year. I'm pumped.
Pretty much no one forgot about David McFadden. He was ranked #6 at an absolutely loaded weight class coming into the season, now he's #3 over Logan Massa. He's a stud. That match with Te'Shan at CKLV could have gone either way, though. I think the refs probably blew those danger calls--and if they call it correctly, Te'Shan gets on top and that could always be problems, esp with a guy who has had bottom issues in the past. There are at least 16 guys who are legit AA talents in that weight class and World Champion Richie Lewis just bumped up.
Pretty excited for the Kolodzik-KeShawn rubber match tonight. If Kolodzik gets the first takedown, which I think he will, I'm taking him.
For those of you that think Flo is bad, Trackwrestling is out here selling Ohio State duals for 15 bucks each this weekend (against Princeton and Chattanooga). The events don't even cost that much to attend.
That's a matchup I didn't ever see happening with the size discrepancy. Watched the Fix match where he got a late takedown to win, why was he wearing a USA singlet? Is that normal?
Heil/Yianni/Meredith/Jack are a clear top 4 right now, but the order isn't exactly clear. Probably the only thing that is clear is that Jack is 4. Eierman and McKenna are 5 and 6 right now.
That looks like a reversal. I think spencer lee got screwed there. Also how the fuck does this rule make sense?
Probably because teams are limited to how many challenges they get, would be an unfair advantage if unattached wrestlers were not
