So am I the only one who is very impressed by this 2x junior world champion' performance this weekend? He beat Batyrov (european champion) and Barzakov, could this Taghavi be a future Dabir?

What do you think for the referring in the second period of the match of Tagavi with Albert Batirov?Were the points given correct?

Bulgarian dislikes him because he beat not only Barzakov, but also Redzhep in the finals of the jr. worlds last year

A nice picture of this guy dreaming

Yes,i am afraid that this time everything may change and may happen 11 years no one bulgarian wrestler to win against Tagavi!!!
No if we talk serious,i am interested from the first action in the second period,when the referees gave 3 points for Tagavi and 2 for Batirov.If i was refering this situation i will give only 3 points for Batirov-for me the action is of Albert.I like to hear and other opinion!The second action is 3 points for Tagavi,2 for Batirov.Tagavi have very good wrestling in standing position,good defence in par terre and good tacktical preperation!

Ive been watching taghavi since he won his first juniors, hes very impressive. Iran has a great junior team, lot of young guys coming up. Im not suprised by taghavi doing so well, but i am suprised that he did it at 66 kg instead of 60.

Yeah I would have gave 3 to BLR, his feet were planted, not moving, the only reason I can see why they gave 3 to IRI is because BLR went straight to his back instead of turning away

taghavi has a sweet double

bulgarian · 04-20-2008, 06:31 PM

yes,but in the rule book is said that if one wrestler makes an action and he is on his back,but if from this action the other wrestler is too on his back,the points are for those who is making the action,because there is a risk!
