Default Re: Yoel Romero

You have to understand that what is true of one person is not always true of another. Assumptions are never a good idea. Yoel is a Cuban celebrity, so he has already been given many other opportunities and luxuries than your average Cuban. You have no idea how he is going to respond to German life, or if he is living life as an "outcast."

No idea. On German wrestlings forums, the fans discussed the fact that when he attended the nationals 2 weeks ago everybody from the federations' officials had met and talked with him.

He doesn't have licence to wrestle even in the next season (starting in Oct) of the German league, not to mention internationally.

He joined a club only in order to be in any club. He is not allowed to wrestle for it. The club is in the town Hof: http://www.asvhof.de

Sajidov and Saitiev both beat Ketoev before. I don't know exactly how many Russians beat him when he was 19 years old but he wasn't top 4 in Russia at that time.

Oh in 2005 at Yarigin tourney Ketoev placed 3rd, behind Temrezov and Laliev. So, he must have lost to one of them as well.

i think ketoev's loss to romero at world cup and to adam saitiev at yarigin are the most recent, so they probly matter the most.

No he lost to Romero the same year he lost to either Temrezov or Laliev. He was 19 years old. He is 23 now. Totally different wrestler.

well speaking of laliev, i think he is going to be a big threat at 84 kg. He looked prety good at worlds, even though he lost. I think he could definetly put together another run to the finals.
