Just defeated Iran to win Club World Title. David Taylor had a big comeback win then Gwiz won with a great single in the last 30 seconds to clinch it. Snyder lost on a pushout with only about 5 seconds to go. He was the aggressor but his opponent was in good shape and did not let Kyle get to his legs.

A few thoughts on Snyder losing twice:
1) The rest of the world has gotten a good look at him. Game plans have been formulated and opponents are more prepared.
2) He's not in peak mode at this point in his training. It's possible his folkstyle involvement is also a distraction.
3) Snyder wears out opponents better than anyone in the world. This skill was less of an advantage in the more relaxed, two day Cup setting.
One other thought--these losses should remind us why Jordan Burroughs was so amazing. His carrer record-- 130-4 with three world titles, a world bronze and an Olympic Gold. Watching Snyder now makes me understand why Burroughs accomplishments are so absolutely amazing.
Just to be clear--Snyder has already had one of the best careers in American history and there's no reason not to believe his best days lie in front of him.

If you watch the matches...there is defiantly a blue print being followed. Both opponents simply blocked with good defense and hoped not to gas....turning it into a one move match. They both converted on the one attempt they took. Also, every time Snyder got close to a push out the adversary successfully dropped to a knee avoiding the pushout. Kyle will figure that out and utilize it to score I am certain. Not to cry over spilled milk, but the fact Kyle was on the shot clock was ABSURD.

Jamie--you're right. But don't expect fair reffing.

What I am about to say is not meant to be critical but is just a question.
Does the interruption in training due to all of the public appearances afforded an olympic champion have impact of performance? Considering the razor thin difference between the worlds greatest athletes could that be part of it? If so it makes me even less concerned bc I see less of the "fanfare" interrupting preparation going forward.
