He has been accused of taking a dive and throwing matches for money in the past. Many people in the press section from all over the world let it be known that they thought he got paid to lose the gold medal match to the hometown Turk. Watch the video and tell us what you think

Good Lord! I hope he got a lot of money, because he embarrassed himself, his country and the sport with that performance. |

Lol wow he basically gave him the match. Did you see that? He basically front rolled when the turk was doing the move to help him out. He probably lost in replacement for a Visa. I am Cuban and believe me that he def. did it for the money. He still is the best regardless and go on to win another Olympic Gold. |

World class wrestler looked like a decent high school wrestler...he needed the money and I have not walked in his shoes...he was compensated for his loss... |

I have heard that payoffs are common at this level, but not for the finals. Usually the payoff comes when someone needs to lose in order for another country's wrestler to medal. This should be a unwritten payoff rule. Let the finals alone! |

The majority of the comments are from people who know nothing of Greco. Greco is Far Bigger than Freestyle Oversea. I RESPECT and Enjoy both Styles. Their are many attacks and set ups going on but the average audience doesn't understand the technique that is taking place. There are several tie up, Bumping, controlling Center/Edge, and off ballanceing techniques. Par terre offense and defense technique are exciting to watch if you know what you are observing. |

Yes...He lost intentionally. I actually don't think he did a very convincing job of looking interested in the match. |

Cuba is a poor country and 10,000 is a lot of money over there. I Dont blame him for taking the money |

Lopez comes off the mat the first period and the coaches tell him, They'll hang us with the ring ropes if they think it's rigged. Get out there and hurt him. But for F@$# sake, do not win this match! quote taken from the movie Snatch. |

I can't believe this. He looked like he was either throwing it or sick. I really hope he wasn't paid off. |

To make it all clear. come on guys haha in freestyle and greco they don't go by lbs they go by kilograms. so it's 120 kilograms which is approximatly 260. also he flopped it what a disgrace to the sport idc how much in debt you are or how sucky your life is. wrestling comes along with pride and apparently this guy doesn't have any. When you hit the mat you always go to win. not to lose on purpose for money |

Textbook Turk
8 months ago
Idk looked like a textbook Turk reverse gut to me of you watch the best of their country Yerikaya you would know what I am talking about. Not te greatest match and the Cuban getting hit for touching legs was pathetic but all in all no one beats Turks in reverse guts that why he got the turn in the first and not in the second |
