Gotta give the Iranian props for bumping up a weight class just to wrestle Snyder

[@sbahado]

Ghassempour doesn’t have to cut weight to make 92 kg … he is a true 86kger … he cannot wrestle 86 cuz Yazdani barely beats him for starting position … the weight difference here is at least 20 lbs … bumping ghassempour up to 97kg when he could have beaten his 86 and 92 kg American opponent potentially costed them the 6-4 dual loss … ghassempour needs to put on at least 10 lbs of quality muscle to fill out in this weight … he can be deadly at this weight … he was smaller than Cox in both matches but was able to overcome it with technique and strength… this is too much, but iran is willing to lose the duals to test out something that may pay off in the future !!!

@@persian1905 I hear what you are saying. Most people do not understand that pressure when on the mat to be aggressive, yet maintaining a fairness, before the match, after the match, and a mutual respect. Sometimes it is very tough to call. This was a tough match for Ghasempur as he went up a weight class. He deserves a lot of respect for that. Very different styles of wrestling. Amazing that these days we can see a match and learn from it. In my day we were lucky to see a picture of a opponent before wrestling him. If I had videos like these I would have been an even better wrestler. All the best Persian, from this little corner of the world.

[@resibelion1750]

This was only a shot to go head to head with Snyder for Ghasempour. Clearly showing the world the Iranian plan for the next Olympics. He can't get down to 86kg (His original weight) bcz of Yazdani being there already, so he is now aiming for 97 and I guess he is gonna be a devastating 97kg and a promising one as well. Iranian wrestling needs a legendary 97 after Reza Yazdani retired 4 yrs ago. Just imagine Ghasmepour , Snyder/Cox and Sadulaev in the same Olympic division!

I believe Kamran eventually might go to 97kg for the Olympics, perhaps late 2023 or beginning of 2024. This was always going to be tough, 5kg lighter than another world champion.

[@mewnkr9476]

He won´t even win Mohammadian at 97kg, so he will probably not be selected for the national team for the olympics if he does that. Not because Mohammadian is better than him, just because he is phisically 2x times stronger than Ghasempour. The best decision he can make is to try to win Yazdani at his natural weight, 86kg, 'cause he have seen in this years that David Taylor is better than Yazdani and someone like Kamran who has beat Cox would be a great match up for Taylor.
