Glad you like them!

Seeing Du Pont just sucked the joy out of this video.

[@smashleyscott8272]

Zeke should have had AT LEAST 8 points at the end of that match.

[@emmanueludoh77]

@rusty goldfinch 4:33 Takedown - 1 point 5:33 Takedown - 1 point 6:11 Back exposure - 2 points per turn. He turned him 3 times for a total of 6 back exposure points. Score should be 8-3

Time out! Time out! I am getting rolled around like a rag doll!!

[@Jwaters1000]

@@emmanueludoh77 you are right. i wondered what the score would be. maybe two of the turns were one point turns? hand to hand instead of elbow?

Впервые вижу этого парня. Удивил меня. Потом Посмотрел его схватку с Абдулаеввм где он смял его. Он потряс меня. Вот Сегодня я открыл для нового величайшего борца В мире Джонса Зека

The video was great until 7:20

Seeing DuPont and what he has done in the wrestling world reminds me of the horror.

[@braznartn5176]

Mr. despicable Du Pont murderer spoils the entire show.

[@philr182]

You will notice Zeke complaining about some oil or something on the Bulgarian. I did some camps with Zeke back in the day and he said as soon as this guy started to sweat he was like he was all greased up and because it was in Bulgaria they wouldn’t check it. But Zeke won anyway, even with the guy cheating. Seeing Dupont in the corner made me a little sick. He’s rotting in hell.

[@ThePonsa]

Everebody making excuses about anything. But it's actually really simple. Valentin Yordanov was the best freestyle wrestler in the world between '85 to '96. No shame losing to him...

[@philr182]

[@chrishock137]

@@philr182 Zeke Jones was great that day, there is no doubt. But Yordanov was never a cheater - no way! He is an Olympic gold medalist, seven-time world champion, seven-time European champion, some of his titles he won in the US.

The wrestler with the most world medals

[@arhiv1990]

Не в форме или расслабился великий мастер это очевидно. Вообще Иорданов по стилю похож на Б Сайтиева , не стандартная борьба и приёмы некоторые даже не изучают ,потому что они не проходят , но у них проходили..

[@everythingUTrealestate]

I wonder how bad these guys would get rekt today

[@aryair1411]

When Yordanov was injured, he was down. When starting again the ship should be in the same position. In addition Jones believed that Yordanov's body was oily and the referee should have heard his protest.

[@Cochise6666]

If the Bulgarians worked as hard on wrestling as they did on whistling they might have won.

[@2Minihats]

I’m so happy you noticed this too sounds like they were having a whistle off

[@patastienescordera]

Such a catty comment. Hometown crowds always support their own, it's not meant to be taken personally. Jordanov was 7 times world champ, olympic champ, possibly the best of all time in this division. I'd say he worked pretty hard at his wrestling.

[@Jwaters1000]

@@patastienescordera he didn't win the Olympics until 96 and that on a VERY questionable fleeing the mat call.

[@vanhellish3376]

He is an Olympic gold medalist, seven-time world champion, seven-time European champion, and the only wrestler to hold 10 medals (seven gold, two silver and one bronze) from world championships

پول گرفت باخت

[@aryair1411]

دلیل؟

[@aryair1411]

یوردانف میخواست هرطور شده ببره. کشتی گیر آمریکایی همون اول کشتی اشاره میکنه بدنش چربه ولی داور اهمیتی نداد چون بلغارها میزبان بودن. اگه میخواست ببازه چرا بدنشو چرب کرده بود؟
