Maybe everyone broke up with their girl friend last night...er...maybe they all have the flu...er...maybe they all didn't cut weight correctly...maybe they had a great Christmas party last night... Cause if those excuses don't work, maybe they are just not tough kids.
Anyone can have a bad day or work themselves into a rut, but all the stuff that shows you want to win - hand fighting and pressuring opponent from feet - staying off your knees and hips from top position - clearing wrists and getting your head up from the bottom - was not happening.
This is not athletic ability stuff, its mental toughness and "wanting it" kind of stuff.
What I wrote last week about Rahmani ..ditto.
Forys, Zanetta, and Solomon were also off their game too but they have the discipline in their technique (and maybe the opponents tonight) that allows them to win on an off night.
It will be interesting to see how Gavin et al handle this performance.
