Gaidarov Murad (BLR) vs Saitiev Bouvaisa (RUS) - YouTube
I just watched this 2003 world final. A few thoughs...
Who do you guys have as the winner? Saitiev is going forwards most of the match, but Gaidrov takes the only 2 shots. Saitiev could be utterly dominant at times, but other times he squeaked through on mental toughness, as well as several close calls going in his favor.
We all love to complain about the clinch, but is this really better? Nine minutes of wrestling with only penalty points scored, and then the officials pick a winner?
Finally, anyone got the link to their rematch at the Olympics? Or can at least describe what happened? I know Saitiev won on a controvertial clinch all and Gaidrov started a fight, but I'd like details.
