Kavianpour and Mirmohamadi both qualified Greco 77 and 87 respectively. We are all booked for every weight category in Greco. We still can get the last 57 freestyle spot in Istanbul next month.

He got beat 2 times in a row by Brooks, best 2 out of 3 gets the spot. Taylor only scored 1 point in both matches combined. Taylor only had 2 matches, where as Brooks had to come out to the bracket to have the opportunity to face Taylor. He is going to be 34 this year. If you watched the matches, he looked nothing like the guy last year who beat Hassan.

Brooks is a beast in neutralizing leg shots (Taylor’s specialty). He seems very “bottom heavy” in that sense. IMHO Yazdani and Co need to analyze the heck out of Brooks’ qualifiers and work on the trusted and true Iranian underhook to overcome Brooks. Yazdani certainly can’t outlast him physically, and will quickly tire out of trying to shoot at his legs like Taylor did. Gotta topple him from the top.
here’s the final match between Brooks and Taylor:

Taylor got a bye to the final of US qualifiers for his performance last year. It can be argued that it could have helped him (he was rested) or hurt him (he wasn’t really warmed up before facing Brooks). Obviously his age and lack of endurance was also a factor in facing a 23 year old Brooks. Finally, Brooks barely squeezed past Zahid to make it to the final (he got a last second point from the ref). So it could have been a totally different story.
