Husker_Du Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 1) Vito was hurt at the time of trials 2) the transitive property is a always a crapshoot 3) you picking him to navigate that bracket (beating Lee/Alirez/Zain/Yianni) ? TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have probably given him potentially as much of a chance as everyone else at given the question mark about Zains weight and not know Jesse was that guy at that point.

Truzzcat Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 just coming back to this after watching Mamedov vs Magomedov. Honestly outside of the 4 I did not think the match was super close. Abasghadzi I think needed to try and keep scoring his arm drag is one of my favorite techniques in the sports right now even though Vito may do it even better. I think at least to me this shows Vitos future is 65kg. Having a two wins now over guys that did very well at 65kg at probably their preferable weights now in abasghadzi and zhumashebk uulu who teched nick lee at the Ferrell in 2022 and had a respectable match with Amouzad at the World Cup. To willie's point 65kg was a gauntlet this year and he was hurt so sitting out was likely his best option but after none olympic weight worlds this year id like to see him start building up for 65. what a field that would be for 2028 Vito, Jesse, Nick lee (I assume he goes one more cycle), Yianni, Alirez, Bo Bassett probably, Jax? and Marcus blaze.
