Mohammadian toyed Nickal like a small boy. He has got everything, talent, technique, power, balance, speed, timing, stamina... Mohammadian is the complete package. No wonder he is so much dominant. I rank him even higher than Sadulaev right now. Sadulaev has much more experience and he may have an old trick hiding somewhere though. Waiting for a possible Mohammadian-Sadulaev match in the Olympics. Great respect for Mohammadian from Turkey!

The fact is Iran has always been a major power in wrestling. Bo is very very good. However, up to now, he has only faced college level competition. International is much deeper waters. Mind you, that doesn't mean Bo cannot be dominant internationally also. He just needs to put his college successes behind him and focus on achieving a whole new level.

I don't understand people being so naive. Why believe the system blindly? The anti-doping agencies are paid and controlled by the obvious country. They catch whoever they like and don't even bother testing the protected ones. Do you believe Iran can have any kind of control over the anti-doping agencies? Can you imagine Mohammadian not getting tested and getting away with PED usage? Have a look at this. www.theguardian.com/sport/2003/apr/24/athletics.duncanmackay Carl Lewis: 'Who cares I failed drug test?' "There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same." Do you think the Guardian was talking out of their ass? Probably Carl Lewis juiced all his career to get an unfair advantage against his rivals and to make you believe how a great "American" Athlete he was. Sorry, if someone from the 97 kg. division would be able to cheat at the Olympics, he would be Snyder.

[@Rytoast99]

Dont forget people Bo Nickal 3 years ago was a natural weight 170 lb (78 kg) wrestler. Over his college career he gained muscle and won the NCAA championships in weight classes higher than that quite easily However I think 97 kg is too unnatural for him. He is very strong and flexible with incredible torque potential, but hes just giving up too much weight, at least from this match. He didnt appear to have the explosiveness in this weight as normal, nor his agility, and most importantly his flexibility. You can see that uncomfortableness right out of the gate with the stance he took at 0:08 where hes in a staggered stance supporting his and mohammadia..’s weight. He definitely doesnt seem used to supporting forces this high in a static position. Again you can see that he has less experience with battling opponents this strong at 0:42 as the counter with he tries to use to stabilize himself fails 3 times due to sheer overpowering from his opponent. I would rather see him at a slightly lower weight, because I know what he is capable of. Again you can see he is not used to getting over powered by an opponent while under a mechanical disadvantage at 1:22 where Mohammedian breaks his leverage with a back twist ( this move should in theory, not be able to out leverage an underhook of Mohammedian’s right shoulder but his strength is able to force bo submit his positioning, making space for himself) which he then immediately countered with his own grab and shortly followed with an underhook which brought bo to the mat Honestly i dont really want to make any assumptions here but bo doesnt look 97kg here ( To be frank, mohammedian doesnt either. He still looks like hes on PEDs even after that long ban he had cause that muscle mass is way too unnatural, especially for his training and diet regiment which is documented) Nevertheless I appreciated the sportsmanship displayed by both parties. Congrats to Mohammedian for a clear victory in this match, and congrats to Bo for having this video on the internet ( so he can learn from his mistakes and continue to improve). We were treated to a match here and thats what matters in the end. Love the effort, and I hope we get a rematch one day
