in the challenger tournament but he is behind Zahid who is sitting in the finals waiting for the winner of the tournament that DT is a part of . Zahid won bronze at 92kg which is the weight they are competing in here. DT won worlds at 86kg so he doesn’t get to sit out like Zahid and is beyind Zahid in that aspect.
What an incredible day of wrestling. Vito vs Blaze in best 2 out of 3 at 61kg Pantaleo vs Green in best 2 out of 3 at 70kg Marstellar vs Burroughs in best 2 out of 3 at 79kg Zahid vs DT in best 2 out of 3 at 92kg No matter how it goes, Marcus Blaze has absolutely showed out. Imagine being a senior world team member in two different weight classes before your 18th birthday.
Jax Forrest beating Desanto if they see each other in the quarters. I think Desanto has a similar style to Bo Bassett with his pace and heavy hand fighting. I think Jax is prepared for this kind of wrestler and will be able to hit his slide by against an opponent that’s pressuring in so much.
You guys are killing me here 😂Vito is in the finals waiting for the winner of the challenge tournament. Vito has NEVER lost to Nahshan in freestyle (4-0). Vito only dropped out of trials because he wasn’t healing as a result of sucking so much weight going down to 57kg
My predictions… 61kg: Vito over Nahshon for 1st, Fix over Blaze for 3rd. 70kg: James Green over Pantaleo for 1st, PJ Duke over Bryce Andonian for 3rd 79kg: Chance beats Jordan and Jordan retires, Keegan over Dieringer for 3rd although I’m not as confident there. 92kg: David Taylor over Zahid, sorry Zahid, Mike Mach over Hidlay for 3rd. I think Trent will have a good freestyle career, but it’s still early
Yianni has been written off way too early. Yianni was the 2022 World Silver medalist snapping an almost year streak of USA not medaling at any worlds or olympics at 65kg. Not too mention that we haven’t medaled since Yianni at the right weight either. Yianni lost on very suspect calls vs Nick Lee at final X in 2023. That could have easily went the other way. Then he wrestled Lee off for Pan ams and got a bad concussion he was hospitalized for. He could not train leading to Olympic trials as a result . As a result of that he had trouble making weight . Yianni is still young as hell and he will be back for this upcoming quad
@@Behaucarre For sure. Bryce is a great wrestler, but it’s been a few years since he took 3rd at Junior Worlds. The freestyle seen has been evolving like crazy
I would say he beats Zahid, but probably not Taylor because I feel like Hidlay (not to sound disrespectful) is a knock off version of Yazdani. Still really good, but styles would say no, Hidlay won’t beat Taylor. Taylor over Zahid. Honestly, not hearing him mentioned in the video had me forgot the comeback.
@@TheBlackKnightX7 I mean, I know Zahid beat him twice that I’m aware of. He beat Hidlay 9-4 in the 2022 World Team Trials and then again 8-2 in the 2023 World Team Trials.
@@michaellong2595 I know history would say Zahid wins. I believe the ability for Hidlay to focus solely on freestyle coupled with his performance at the ranking series and his match against Yazdani. I personally think Hidlay would win. A lot can change in a year and I think we’ll see Taylor win here, but in a future tournament. I believe Hidlay will prove my point.
David Taylor has now entered into 92kg. He will be the 1 seed

@@Slapthematwrestling Yes, Zahid and Vito are both already sitting in best 2 out of 3. I might have mentioned that in another comment string.
He is seeded 1

Its Ringer
Very nice video here is my take on wtt : Bryce andonian pin his way to a team spot
Bold take. 70kg I’m gonna go with James Green.
@@michaellong2595 let’s see how it plays out 😏

61kg Vito
70kg James Green
79kg David Carr
92kg Trent Hidlay
@@TheBlackKnightX7 You think Hidlay wins over Zahid and David Taylor. That would be quite the upset.

Sitting in best 2 out of 3. Same for Zahid
