Yeah, I remembered that 'down" year for Bruce... all before his amazing gold medal performance @ Barcelona in "92.
How many of you remembered seeing his round 3 win in the last seconds over David Gobejishvili ("88 gold medal winner over Baumgartner @ Seoul ?)
0-0 , ref stops action and brings the two combatants to the center meter circle. As both get set to wrestle when the whistle gets blown, Bruce noticed the Gebejishvili visibly relax... he was satisfied that they were going into overtime and to go after Bruce then.
It was then that Bruce bulled rushed him at the whistle, grabbed his legs and bowled him over for a 3 point exposure!
With only a few seconds left after they both landed oob... it was virtually impossible get those three back.
That opened up to winning the B group and going after the gold (beating Canada's jeff Thue, 8-0.)
THAT, after his 1991 medal-less showing at the Worlds, was something to behold!
