Besik Kudukhov v. Henry Cejudo 2007 USA v. Russia Dual - Levashi, Dagestan

i"m not laughing

henry does seem burnt out its time for a new theme he says he will return for the next olympics and ur obvi going to see him win major tourny along the way

are you some kind of wakk a$$ comedian ?

Congrats Henry,
I hope that it really is "good enough", I gotta get some more chips, it makes my baby injury feel better. I only hope Henry isn't being manipulated by a fork tongued "educator" to make beautiful amounts of money.

Henry Cejudo is hardly unique. None of the Olympic champs chose to participate in this year's worlds, even though many of them are still young. Sometimes people just need time off; wrestling is no fun (and usually not too sucessful) for people who are burned out.

and at the end of the day a gold medal does not pay the light bill.
so ill let you sleep on that one.

why are you soo woorried what he is doing. how come you cant just congrats him and leave it at that?

do not rely on one person he started a trend of young wrestlers for america to believe in themselves and that is good enough.
he did it . while you watched from a coach eating potato chips or while you got female pregnant or while you got a baby injury.

"life with a great potential to make money" "beautiful amounts of money" ladys and gentlemen watch out Don King just entered the building. If Henry sleeps better at night with a pillow case full of money rather than a world medal, fine! Money will come and go throughout a lifetime, but being the best in the world at something will stay with you forever.

so hope that clears a lot up. and i do feel like i said too much about his personal life.......

and if you want to see him wrestle so bad, donate millions and millions to his organization or else shut your mouth he will do mma were he can transition his talent and make beutiful amounts of moneyy where it will take him years of years of clicnics like chertow to make a slim million working his ass off and not have a life (no offense to mr. chertow) but henry can make a millions off one fight and not years of clinics .......... so better that than wrestling

henry loves wrestling and it will be a part of his life forever and he will be around but the kid grew up Poor and successful man that he is wants to make moneyyyyyy maybe to Indy wrestling is more important to you, you want to see him wrestle but he has a life with a great potential to make dollar$$$ where he comes from to provide for his familly comes first then wrestling and watching him win, and yes i do know him on a personal level

There's some seriously solid technique goin on here. I think these guy's styles make for a really good match. It would have been cool to have seen Cejudo wrestle Kudokhov in the olympic finals.

All in good time Henry, heal, and come back and get another yellow medal!

I don't see a problem with him taking a year to try to make some money. The window for Olympic sport athletes is small.

all your comments have been true. the way you said it was a lil distasteful but it was the truth. i agree w you 100% they win a gold or silver or even bronze and just stop bec well im not sure why but its a pure shame. Adam Wheller bronze and got to be a co police office. great for him to serve his community but come on really you going to go out like that. and Henry yeah wins gold do a small tour and sell a book but get back out there and win a world .. thats why the russians have turned the corner on us bec when they win they come back for another and another. we settle .. shame...

Actually i was wondering if for next week you can post the olympic bout between cael sanderson and Khodaee, Mahdi

i thought cejudo looked good in this match and shows of better things to come. nice video.

Nobody wants to see greco the people that wrestle greco are the ones that couldn't cut it in freestyle

Only freestyle matches are posted here. If you want a collegiate match go to Throwback Thursdays.

Sorry, I was out of line, and I admit it. I guess I'm just frustrated that our best wrestlers can't afford to compete as consistently or for as long as the Russians do. Maybe I should put my money where my mouth is and contribute to the Live the Dream campaign. I'd love to see more of our best wrestlers competing longer.

Guru!!!!!!!!! I'm putting in a serious request for either of the following:
Sylester Terkay/ Don Whipp NCAA finals
Sylvester Terkay/ Kurt Angle NCAA finals
The people need to see what a beast this dude was and how he got better from JR to Senior Year. You could put them both on one video beause the final with Whipp was over in a blink. If you can't do either because of lack of action, give us the Noel Loban vs Dan Severn in the NCAA finals. Yes I am a heavyweight.

he can do what ever he wants he doenst have to wrestle his entire life!!! And america has got allot of talent just wait you will see it in a few years we are only improving...

apparently curse words are automatically removed?
oh well, just listen for yourself

haha, i meant " that's good , that's good !"

at 3:45 you can hear the coach yelling "that's good , that's good !"

Indy what the heck? That was uncalled for.

Because some people had asked to see it.

Henry, stop the traveling circus and come back to wrestling. Your old foe has another World title and you're still "enjoying" yours a year later. You've got more talent than half the US freestyle team combined, but do you have the desire? I'd love to see you put it to this guy, but given the past year, I'd have to say he'd hammer you pretty good if you were to wrestle today.

great match, but why you gotta put one up of our boy losing??

I dunno if you do greco, but if you do I'd love the Gaber-Ozeal match that Ozeal wins 15-11 or something.

I think Batirov would beat Kudukhov most times. Harder to score on.

lol they are different weight classes Mavlet is 66kg and Basik i think is 60kg.
This was an awsome match...i loved it,, probably once of the best ones.

Fun Match. It seems like greco might be a little under-represented. Do you have any matches of Brandon Paulson? How about the classic Paulson v. Hall?

Good match. Does anybody know what Mavlet Batirov is doing? Who do you think would win, Mavlet or Besik?

Great match! Kudukhov in my opinion outsmarted Henry on this one technique wise.

I hear from a very reliable source that Henry. Is 1 and 4 against him!

great match again. thanks.

Pretty sure Cejudo is 1-2 against Kudukhov. He beat him something like 10-5 in the fall of his senior year at NYAC, then lost two other times. Of course, as we all know, in their most important tournament together Henry won gold and Besik settled for bronze.

can we get the match from the nyac when henry beat him

Thanks for the match quick, i always look forward to your matches everyweek. May i request the 2000 olympic semi final between dabir and Terry brands?

and kudokhov just won 60kg freestyle world championship. was the favorite going to olympics. wonder if mavlet batirov will go 66kg

Japanese guy Henry beat in gold match pinned Kudukhov in semis of Beijing Olympics.

Kudukhov can keep his dual victory and his bronze from Beijing, Henry will keep his gold! I believe they are 1-1 against one another, I am sure Craig can clear any misinformation up, thanks guru!

How did Kudukhov do at the 08 Olympics?

Some had requested this one. It's a great match with a lot of action and hand fighting.

Solid high C by Kudukhov in the first period with Cejudo trying to score with a front headlock throw but Kudukhov kept his hips down and when they came back up Cejudo attempted a double overhook throw to no avail.

Second period Kudukhov attempted the high c again but this time Cejudo scored 3 big points off the of the frontheadlock throw, To Kudukhov's credit he came out on top and slipped in a quick leg lace to turn Cejudo twice.

That was the difference in the match.

Regardless these two really know how to get after it and points get put up on the board.

Enjoy.
