Doublehalf Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 Clip of an interview from about 10 days ago or so talking about his training and also hits on Dake a bit saying he's not a champion yet essentially because he hasn't beaten everyone that should be in a fully loaded world/olympic bracket (ie Sidakov). Also talks about training with Burroughs and how he's lighting it up right now and more focused than he's ever seen. Seems to hold Jordan in much higher regard than Dake... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 Chamizo speaks Spanish, Italian, and English. He's trained in Cuba, Italy, the US, Japan, and likely lots of other places. If he ever wants to coach, some OTC better hire him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 Chamizo is respectful towards guys he's lost to. He's ever wrestled Dake (I think). Hope he he doesn't feel silly a month from now for training in those Paris 2024 shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamboat_charlie Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 I mean, this is classic athlete speak. He sees Dake as the likely rep and a potential rival for the podium so he does mental gymnastics to downplay his accomplishments because it makes him feel good about his chances. He's trained with Burroughs, is friendly with him, and likely won't have to wrestle him, so he showers him with praise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Dake would be so much more likeable if he didn't have all those petty antics for the ref (i.e. acting like Chamizo pulled his fingers off, stopping wrestling and looking over at the ref). Still love the Dake bombs tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
