fedorishin didn't show up vs. humphrey
2nd round: humphrey beat BLR # 25 or 28. i think it was 25 gadzhiev. only the last seconds were shown. BLR had the lead; humphrey came with 2 good actions (incl. 3 pt throw).
he will face terteryan for the 3rd place.

paulson beat #18 burca and howe; reached the 3rd place match.
paulson-howe was a boring match that even tsargush can not produce. 2 times clinch for howe. in the first, he couldn't take correct hold and got a caution; in the 2nd, he couldn't score.

I dont understand how American live streaming for wrestling looks like garbage, but the Ukraine can produce crystal clear perfect live video.

let's see the final. it begins in few seconds.
agbaev is world champ in belt wrestling ))

Khavilov is #2 in Ukraine.

3rd place match.
1st period, Humphrey - 3 pt belly to back throw. The referee gave him 5 pts but the other 2 didn't confirm. They were right it wasn't for 5 but still it was a nice one.
2nd, Terteryan 2:0. T was pushing H out; H tried a throw and landed on his back.
3rd, Terteran 5:2. H 2 takedowns and 2:0 lead; T single leg and later something (didn't see it) for 2 pts -> T 3:2 lead. 3 seconds before the end H tried to throw and went to his back -> T 5:2.
