Zadick beat him at 2006 Schultz.

If Sahit wrestles smart he can defeat Zadick. I would love to see him get it done but I am not optimistic.

Prizreni is your boy from the NYAC that had a bunch of wild matches at I think it was Sunkist last year, right?

Yes. He one of the most talented wrestlers I've seen in a while, just never had the right training environments.

He has the tools to beat Zadick, it will come down to his mental game. If he is confident he will beat Zadick. Like I said I'm not overly optimistic.

But there can very well be an upset here first round.

At Schultz he beat the 55 kg World Champ from Bulgaria handily.

Should be a wild match, possibly will go 3 periods. Its just like you said though, Zadick has a better training environment and that might give him the edge.

Whare has Prizreni been training the past few months?

He moved back to Albania after it was clear the Green Card was not going to happen.

I told him he was wasting his time here and that he needed to get back home and train for Beijing. He's too young and talented to stay here and waste his talent.
