Sadulaev v Taylor 92kg
- Thread starter HerkHawl
- Start date
The old Sadulaev would have been too big, strong and explosive given that DT is essentially wrestling up a weight. But is Sadulaev the same wrestler? Haven't seen him for a while and he looked mortal in 2023. Would be a great match to watch.
Taylor looked mortal this year aswell. He had nothing for Brooks in back to back matches
Wyatt Hendrickson, Cody Merrill, Luke Surber, Dustin Plott, Dean Hamiti
Why would you ask this? Colorado Springs is nothing but a glorified practice resort at this stage. Only reason guys go there is for training camps.
Taylor’s testicular wellness kit has spoken! So, it must be true…..
Because I thought you would know, since you wrestled for Iowa.
To be fair, Taz made Snyder look very mortal as well.
Sadulaev didn't look that impressive in his wrestle-off against Bagaev either. I think he's definitely on the downslope of his career at this point. Time comes for us all.
he's got a lot of rust. Still looks stupid powerful and athletic. And he'll be in much better shape come worlds.
He's at least 30. Lyin azz Ruskies
That's probably what some Russians say about Kyle Snyder who is also 28
LOL.
I doubt it. Yianni once had an interesting conversation with the russians when he was at cadet worlds. had a conversation about age-cheating and steroids, and they basically said to him, "doesn't your country want you to win?"
Just a completely different world.
Seems like you have something in common with them.
funny you mentioned mom, she and dad met while he was wrestling for the hawkeyes
It's pretty common knowledge the Russians are a few years older than they say. Plus, 28 can be past his prime. Snyder hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire the last couple years.
28 or 30 past prime for almost everyone who wrestles. Takes it toll
So all the Russian wrestlers are 3+ years older than they claim? It's pretty common knowledge some Americans acuse the Russians of being older than they are. That much is true.
28 can be past your prime. But not by that much.
If they wrestled at age-level events - its going to be pretty close to 100%. Just a completely different value system.
Close to 100% is just the uneducated way of saying 83%.
Burroughs(36) and Mijain Lopez(42) have been going downhill for 12-16 years now after they peaked
I remember the guy that Lee wrestled in Paris at Junior Worlds. Bro had to have a wife, kids and a mortgage.
I would agree but there aren't that many miles on him. Usually only wrestles the qualifier and worlds/olympics. Think this will be f**. As much as I respect Sadulaev, I am going to go with DT just because he's going up and don't know how cutting 11 extra pounds will affect the Russian.
I'm going with Sadulaev. One of my favorites ever to do it.
Totally understand why everyone is talking about Taylor v Sadulaev. Don't overlook Ghasempour, though. I could see him playing spoiler and keeping the matchup of Olympic champs from happening.
Will be very curious to see how this one is seeded.

I think if Taylor is in form this is going to be a great match. Taylor is no slouch when he's in form. Sadulaev hasn't faced anyone like him in recent years. Snyder is not the tactician Taylor is.
The tilt would have to be Sadulaev but Taylor throws a whole different style into the mix. Taylor's length combined with his skills are a different animal. Throw in the folkstyle that Taylor brings, crazy match.
Brooks was a heartbeat away from the finals at the Olympics.
He would have beaten Yaz in the finals given Yazs physical condition.
Taylor was totally out of shape vs Brooks.
Sadulaev has never faced Yaz.
This is a total unknown if it goes down.
Match of the decade.
