As long as we Americans continue to focus alot on folkstyle and collegiete style wrestling, we stay behind the Russian. Every Russian kid that wrestles learns freestyle and greco from the start. Therefore, we Americans have a slower start when comes the international level. This is not an execuse just a fact. But reguards Americans with heart and desire will aways find a way to win. Go USA. Does anyone else agree?

The American system is not as effective as the Russians. Compare world and Olympic titles in the last 10 years and there is no comparison. Russia has kept evolving in the sport while the Americans have not. I believe Americans are finally starting to see that however, and will start to improve

The Russian definately used the American's momentum against him. A lot of the scoring in this match was done off of countering the American's momentum and keeping him off balanced. The Russian was a lot shorter and used his low center of gravity to his advantage. Believe me the American system is just as effective as the Russians', if not we would never win Olympic and World titles. Contrary to this video, Gallick is a good wrestler, he just got out of position a lot in this match, and that's freestyle wrestling. Gallick could have pulled off an upset too, if he scored and got going. He kinda off reminds me of Tony Purler.

Russians are tought to wrestle relaxed not all tensed up and jumpy the way gallick is wrestling thats why they always look smoother and dont get tired even though they aint as fit as americans

Wow 4 years ago

Wow it shows ya how far we are compared to russia not meaning to knock gallick but that russian is so far ahead of him kinda looked like he was bored in the match the russian was so slick

Yeah Murtazaliev. He wrestled Pritzlaff in this dual.

Great video, thanks! Did Saitiev wrestle in this dual? If so, can you post his match. Maybe the other Russian in Saitiev's weight class who almost beat him at Russian nationals last year. I forget his name, but he's the second best wrestler at that weight class in the world, and he's stuck in the same country as Saitiev. Thanks

I posted this to showcase Batirov, not to knock Gallick. Gallick is a great wrestler I hope no one took it that way.

idk how batirov does it. at 1:02 its almost like has "bad" technique. he drops to both his knees yet still has power and speed. i've seen him wrestle and he scores off that alot. definatly one of the best in the world

its called a duck my friend

arm drag 4 years ago

the thing is that the russians score from outside control, on a hi C so easily becuase americans enforce inside control so much that thats what they worry about getting, this is why when they are fighting for inside control the opponent hits an outside shot before the americans know wahts happening

angle 4 years ago

guru, can we please have any kurt angle matches, say from the 95 worlds? Im younger and have only actually seen 3 of his matches. one NCAA final, one dapper dan match and of course when he won the olympics

Baboo 4 years ago

And the funny thing is the Guru did not have Batirov winning the gold this last Olympics. Simply stated it here on flo. Interesting. I had Batirov winning it though lost big time at 55kg.

Skales 4 years ago

He pushed it up and it looked like he faked a knee tap at the same time.

tk 4 years ago

the takedown Batirov hits from an underhook at 4;49 is sweet. he gives Gallick head position which maybe lulls Gallick. rreminds me of Papadatos underhook series on Technique tues. a few months ago. Let opponent have inside head position, the duck. How did Batirov get Gallick to step in with his left leg just before he hit the move? These matches are great to try to analyze. Thanks

great video, thanks!

People talk about how the Russians look lazy on their feet, it's all counter offense, scoring off of our bad shots, etc. But if you watch, Batirov is the one doing all of the attacking. Two HC attempts, a take down out of the front headlock, and then a turn--all in the first minute. The only guy we've got who wrestles like that is Cejudo. Nice video.

Hmm...Maybe not steroids but possibly...Russian Bear 5000? LOL.

I've been following and watching Batirov wrestle. I'd say right now he is the best in this weight class.
