Brock's Points of Interest
59kg Qualification: Mango (USA) gives up a takedown and turn that put him in deep trouble early in the bout. Passivity calls gave Mango two opportunities in forced par terre, but he was unable to convert, 4-2 on the passivity points. Ismael Borrero Molina (CUB) holds on and wins the opening round bout 4-2.

59kg Qualification: Six-time World Champion and 2012 Olympic Champion Hamid Soryan (IRI) was impressive in his opening bout with a technical fall. 

59kg Qualification: Stepan Maryanyan (RUS) answers Soryan's technical fall with an easy one of his own. Plenty of par terre game for Maryanyan.

59kg 1/8: Ivo Angelov (BUL) comes back from a 6-0 deficit to beat Elmurat Tasmuradov (UZB). Both wrestlers score four-point throws and an exposure from par terre. Angelov won on criteria by scoring the last points.

59kg 1/8: Seunghak Kim (KOR) won a wild bout over Stepan Maryanyan (RUS) 9-7. The match was back and forth with the wrestlers trading four-point manuevers. Maryanyan held a late criteria lead, but Kim scored a takedown to take away the victory.

71kg Qualification: Rasul Chunayev (AZE) got off to a slow start getting reversed off of his forced par terre by Franck Hassli (MON), A passivity point tied the bout before a barrage of high gut wrenches showed why Chunayev is ranked #1 in the World.

71kg Qualification: Evgeny Saleev (RUS) is called for passivity early, but is able to defend in forced par terre. When he gets his chance on top shortly after he lifts Rafig Huseynov (AZE) clear of the mat and throws him for four points. Into the second period Saleev continues to lead 4-0. The Azeri scores on a passivity call and follows with a turn. Saleev comes out of the turn with a reversal and correct throw  for one and two points to open the lead back up to 9-3. The match finishes with Saleev moving on with a 9-3 victory.

71kg 1/8: Justin Lester (USA) narrowly misses a superduck to start the bout against Yunus Saban Ozel (TUR). Ozel scores a four-point throw from a peakout, then pushes Lester into forced par terre. 4-0 as they move to the second period. Ozel ducks into Lester's head pinch four-point throw.

Smith crawls up to a front head/assasin situation for four and another two. A step out point is followed by a missed throw for Abdullaev and Smith secures the fall. 

130kg Qualification: The showdown in round one between Makhov (RUS) and Lopes (CUB) gets underway with some heavy hands. Forced par terre gives Lopez a chance and he converts on the turn.

An uneventful finish as Lopez holds position and wins 2-1.
