I should also say that evidently all of the calls that gave Takahashi points were questionable at best. I haven't seen it, but how does someone get on the shot clock twice (!) and he is the only wrestler if a takedown. Makes no sense to me
Holder's vision is very admirable... I hope we can get this done soon.

Agreed, they deserve something though. I think a bye to the semi's is probably a little more fair while still giving them a reward for their successes. I believe that is what USAW is doing to the non-oly medalists that move to oly weights.
Olympic Trials tournament will happen next year sometime (I think April). Returning World Medalists receive a bye to the finals, similar to how Final X works on non-olympic years.
Why would Cael make him choose bottom? I don't think there is any chance this type of match plays out. Bo would choose neutral in the situation and have faith in getting a takedown, which he would be much more likely to get rather than a quick enough escape. Just my 2 cents
According to Roger Moore, JoJo won 3-2 in the first match with a 1st period TD and then 7-4 with 3 TDs in the second match. I believe he wrote an article for usawrestling on it.
