#20	BHiatt August 2 at 1:52am Do you have the '04 semi match that Sajidov lost to the Korean? reply
#19	Craig Vitagliano May 19 at 11:57am No I am not 100% sure. I had heard it was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMVyxRZVPew Could have been both. reply
#18	Wrastler150 May 19 at 10:53am Craig Vitagliano said: “No that was the 2005 World Championship finals against the Georgian.” Are you sure? This is the one I had always heard about the Cuban throwing. reply
#17	?? May 19 at 10:43am I thought it said in the Silent Gladiators that it was this very match. reply
#16	Craig Vitagliano May 19 at 8:25am No that was the 2005 World Championship finals against the Georgian. reply
#15	Wrastler 150 May 18 at 3:37pm Isn't this the match where it was rumored the Cuban threw the match because he got a large pay off from the Russians? reply
#14	TJ X May 17 at 8:30am PA said: “Is that the russian that beat Cael in the worlds. The russian is a bear and great scrambling and defense and the cuban couldnt finish anything seemed out of shape” PA, Yes that is the Russian who defeated Cael in the World Finals. Great match and actually Cael Sanderson got a huge break in the match but the Russian prevailed. As an aside, Sajidov would later be upset in the semifinals of the Olympics by the South Korean whom Cael defeated rather handedly. reply
#13	Red Dog May 17 at 6:05am David Challacomb said: “I like this match, the styles contrast well. Funny, Yoel reminds me of myself, and some of the other wooster wrestlers from my day . . . kinda like a less polished John Smith :)” Huh? Did you actually say that Romero and former Olympic and multiple World Champion John Smith remind you of yourself? I assume off the mat you are talking about because unless your name is Kenny Monday or Sergei Beloglazov, I think it is time to take a huge step back, take a few valiums (or 100) and remember who you and your rag tag team of wooster wrestlers are and where you stand in thw great game of life. reply
#12	PA May 16 at 4:17pm Is that the russian that beat Cael in the worlds. The russian is a bear and great scrambling and defense and the cuban couldnt finish anything seemed out of shape reply
#11	Cal Xtreme May 16 at 2:45am Dogg finish your shots if you would have acually finished your shots you would have tecjed him easily reply
#10	Aaron Long May 15 at 11:31pm The ref is wearing socks. Oh, and the Cuban has awesome stuff, but kept stopping short of finishing his shots. reply
#9	Storppey May 15 at 10:56pm the cuban couldn't finish his leg attacks and the russian could. that was the difference. reply
#8	Vdc May 14 at 7:45pm The sequence from 3:06-3:13 was pretty amazing. I wish that I had the ability to both attack and defend that way. reply
#7	Arm-spin May 14 at 5:53pm looks like these two were no longer afraid to lose and just wanted to get their frustrations out. What a match! reply
#6	D-Dog May 14 at 5:30pm David Challacomb said: “I like this match, the styles contrast well. Funny, Yoel reminds me of myself, and some of the other wooster wrestlers from my day . . . kinda like a less polished John Smith :)” Never heard of you...are you a legend....like in your own mind? reply
#5	Jay Puma May 14 at 12:27pm Is Romero still wrestling? reply
#4	David Challacomb May 14 at 11:01am I like this match, the styles contrast well. Funny, Yoel reminds me of myself, and some of the other wooster wrestlers from my day . . . kinda like a less polished John Smith :) reply
#3	Confused May 14 at 2:04am Yoel's got a strange style. He was weird against Cael also. reply
#2	Anonymous Coward May 14 at 1:44am the russian was stalling so much...refs need the power to call stalling and be able to award points reply
#1	Craig Vitagliano May 13 at 11:29pm Welcome to this week's installment of my own Match of the Week. This week I am choosing the 84 kg Bronze Medal bout at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens between 2003 & 2006 World Champion Sajid Sajidov of Russia and 1999 World Champion Yoel Romero of Cuba. Alls I have to say about these guys is 'wow.' They really get after it the entire match. I can't believe Sajidov's defense. The guy's amazing. Enjoy. reply
