Mavlet Batirov v. Nate Gallick 2007 USA v. Russia Dual - Levashi, Dagestan

you should see him wen he wrestles abas in the olympic finals

head coach vs freshman

its like the russian just sits there and waits for gallick to make a mistake and the bam! he attacks

batirovs the best definatly one to look up to

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 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.

who would want to see an American guy get destroyed

The russian guy has no legs...the american guy couldnt get a deep shot in I FEEL HIS PAIN!!!! Lol

how is that a good match is it was a giant butt beating

He's fast

4:47 so slick... this guy is nasty

its called a duck my friend

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

The ref. lives in Buffalo, Wyoming. Cool!

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

Slick TD towards the end.

I don't like to the the USA lose but that was impressive to watch. The Russian was fast. Gallack will get better from this loss.

so Baitrov being small looking leads you to believe that eastern europeans are on performance enhancers. Your logic is astounding, Ohio

I think the best way to put it is, "Efficient". Their style is so efficient, when they attack they score, no wasted energy!

yikes

Batirov is deceptively fast and changes levels extremely well. Of course, his front headlock and Russian tie to the leg attack is solid. I believe Americans need to concentrate more on using and scoring from front head and arms and Russian ties to leg attacks to have success at this level. A lot of our boys spend entirely too much time and energy running around and faking instead of controlling the ties then attacking the legs off of those ties. Batirov hardly moves at all but controlled the ties and attacked the legs when he created the window of opportunity. Arm locks and Russian ties as well as gruesome front headlocks is what made Dave Schultz utterly devastating offensively on the international scene and our coaches need to study those films and get our guys to start becoming highly proficient in those areas. Thank you as always Guru for the great video!

he didn't he lost in two

The Russian looks 10X better then gallick...looked like a state champion vs JV. The Russian was just toying with him. They def wrestle a different style then us...relaxed on there feet until they explode. Almost back on thier heals and limp in the tie.

Is the first period missing? If so, how did Gallick win?

This week I am choosing the 60 kg bout at the 2007 USA v. Russia Dual in Dagestan featuring 2004 & 2008 Olympic Champion Mavlet Batirov of Russia and 2005 University World Champion Nate Gallick.

Batirov is simply amazing. Definitely shows why he is ranked among the best in the world in this bout.

Enjoy.
