Iran @ The 2012 Summer Olympics: Day 9 [August 5] - Live Updates

yeah think there's a 3rd and 4th match that he must win, to get a bronze right?
or is there a different format?

That should be it.
We've had boxers who are outside of the top 20 rank beating people ranked 6th, young tabletennis players beating people ranked within the top 20, if they could do such things I'm sure this guy can beat the Japanese guy

Yep, next he faces a Hungarian and then probably afterwards the Japanese guy... If he wins his next match he will deffo get a medal I think because even if he loses in the Semi Final he goes straight into a bronze match because he would be the last guy to lose to the finalist and if he wins in the Semi's he is guaranteed a medal.

3:24 the semis

[Shogun_Rua]

Afarinn Hamid !!

He wins 2-0, 1-0... So now he is in the Semi Final against the Danish wrestler Nyblom who he beat 7-0 in 2009 world championships. I'm sure now that the Japanese guy is out he will go to the final and probably face Rovshan Bayramov of Azerbaijan.

[Camran khan]

^Can he beat the Azerbaijan guy?
