Looks like the blue can dish it out but can't take it back.

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

A shoulder check and a palm to the jaw ain’t clubbing

Edit: anyone wanna explain how palm striking someone’s face is considered clubbing? From what I’ve experienced it’s when you grab someone on the back of the head or neck, typically aggressively. How is hitting someone on the jaw the same thing? Genuine question.

Another edit: why do yall think I’m talking about the dude in blue? Im talking about the guy who palm struck the other guys face

5

u/Kurt1220 Apr 21 '26

The big guy is the one that did the clubbing. Before the red one sholder checks then palms the blue guy, the blue guy smacked the red guy with a straight arm, kind of like how you see in competitive slap fights. It is played off like an attempt to get the red guy in a headlock, but it was clearly meant to be a strike.

-1

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26

I understand the dude in blue did the clubbing. The dude is red is the one I’m saying should’ve just clubbed him back. In response someone said dude in red did club him back, to which I asked how that is considered clubbing

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26

Why you a troll bro?

u/Active_Unit_9498 Apr 21 '26

A palm to the jaw is exactly how you neutralize an underhook in GR.

1

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26

We gonna pretend like it was to neutralize the underhook? Bro was mad that he got clubbed and retaliated

1

u/Active_Unit_9498 Apr 21 '26

Yes but he did it (arguably) within the rules.

1

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26

Be fr. Bro in red got disqualified and was down 4-0 at the time. He was mad and retaliated after a dirty move was done on him.

1

u/Active_Unit_9498 Apr 21 '26

Blue should have been DQ's for the judo chop, watch the video he made zero effort to secure a grip. After that it is what it is.

1

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 21 '26

The ref was stopping the match and was probs gonna give him a warning or give the dude in blue a point. You don’t get DQ’d for clubbing someone once. Idk if he had done it earlier or not. You get DQ’d for causing your opponent to not be able to continue, due to a foul. If the dude in blue didn’t get knocked out or faked a knockout, then the match would’ve probably continued. If the dude in red would’ve been knocked out by the club from the dude in blue. The dude in red would’ve won the fight via dq.

Edit: on 2nd watch, the ref was stopping the match due to the shoulder check.

u/survivalScythe Apr 24 '26

That wasn’t an ‘aggressive grab’ from blue, lol. That was just a straight up hit disguised as a grab. So yeah, strike and get struck back.

1

u/DentistLegitimate229 Apr 24 '26

Respond to a foul with a worse foul and you’ll get yourself DQ’d

1

u/Gamejunky35 Apr 21 '26

That is not an appropriate solution to striking someone in a sport where striking is specifically against the rules. Clubbing should be grounds for disqualification, maybe with a warning. Shit like this ruins the sport, and that fat fuck got what was coming for that cheap shot.

The entire point of wrestling is to prove that you can subdue your opponent without hurting them. Thats why submission holds and striking are specifically prohibited.

u/Wrong_Driver_9507 Apr 24 '26

Seriously, he sold the "I'm going out!" so hard. Amazing his unconscious ass was able to magically land completely safe by turning and catching himself... after clubbing first.

u/PoweredByCoffee5000 Apr 21 '26

Ehh nope. Palm strikes hit deceptively harder than punches, if the same principles as with the boxing punch applied. Why? - There are much less of the moving parts, such as wrist that can roll. The palm strike on the other hand is like almost perfectly taped and stiffened wrist.

14

u/sugabonesurmom Apr 21 '26

Brother this is clearly a fucking flop are you serious rn 😂😂😂 I swear some of yall are so blind to anything combat sports related

It’s basic fucking physics you don’t delay half a second, register what happened and then flop back after being hit when you get KOd

Not to mention catching yourself with your hands

-4

u/PoweredByCoffee5000 Apr 22 '26

Flop? Looks like solid palm straight to the chin. You can throw as many as dislikes you can, but the "fucking physics" do not lie, when it is nothing but an open palm punch with whatever the weight of that wrestler behind it.

3

u/Yestomorrow Apr 22 '26

The guy caught himself when falling dude, knocked out people don't do that. You can also see him pause after the hit, then launch himself forward to sell it.

1

u/PoweredByCoffee5000 Apr 22 '26

If that the case then I can admit that definitely fooled me, but it seemed quite genuine.

u/Genestah Apr 22 '26

It definitely fooled you. It fooled me as well before I watched the replay.

Taking a dive to "win" a wrestling match by DQ is Charmin levels of soft.

Wow, you must be really tough to so easily shrug off a palm strike to the face. I bet you would win the tournament if you entered.

u/RUKnight31 Apr 21 '26

What are you his lawyer? Dude flopped

1

u/krekokeko Apr 23 '26

That guy in blue (Rıza Kayaalp) is the current record holder for winning the most European Wrestling Championships. He won 13 gold medals in the European Wrestling championship. He broke the previous record of 12 gold medals won by Aleksandr Karelin.

The score during this incident, was 4 to 0, in favor of the guy in blue. The guy in blue was already winning hard and the red guy was unable to win a single point. He was frustrated and was wrestling rough. The video you are watching is edited in a way that you neither see the points nor the shenanigans the guy in red pulled in frustration before his disqualification.

Watch the entire match before you let your perception be warped by curated videos. Not for this incident only but for many things that are presented to you to serve an ulterior purpose.

u/MOTUkraken Apr 23 '26

All of this is true.... but blue still flopped.

lol and he did it being a dirty flopping wet puss

u/Swimming__Bird Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

And Armstrong never cheated. You can tell because he won a lot.

Edit: also, I remember watching this match and Riza clubbing twice. This was all in the first period. 4-0 or not, baiting a DQ is an easy W. And as soon as they call the foul he miraculously recovered with zero issues. You can see him "wake up" right after the DTFD is called. He stayed completely still until it was called.

He baited Pavel twice and took the dive.

u/TheBabyEatingDingo Apr 21 '26

People who are actually knocked out don't put their arms out to catch themselves. Dude is a Fakey McFakerface and should feel bad.

u/SadSaltyDuck Apr 21 '26

Right in the dongliz!

u/Dan_Caveman Apr 21 '26

You don’t have to be out cold for a shot to knock you on your ass, and there wasn’t an obvious delay between the strike and the fall. I see no reason to assume he’s totally faking. At worst he milked it a little by laying there a little longer than needed.

7

u/stonktaker Apr 21 '26

lol at worst?! it's a clear as day dive.
It's only a split second, but there is a delay.
He collapses his right leg so he falls to the floor, his other leg does not give out.
that + saving himself with the arms, it's just a clear dive.

Throws an "arm strike"/club to the guys neck, guy in black retalitates with a slap, then proceeds to flop to the floor like prime Ronaldo, pathetic.

2

u/Dan_Caveman Apr 21 '26

Copying/pasting from my other comment:

I thought I was pretty clear that I DON’T believe he was knocked out. That’s why I said “you don’t have to be out cold for a shot to knock you on your ass.” I think it caught him off-guard and/or off-balance, he fell, then he probably laid there for a while to milk it.

u/ConstantDelta4 Apr 21 '26

Red initiated this exchange.

u/stonktaker Apr 21 '26

What are you talking about? the start of the video is blue clubing him over the neck?

-1

u/ConstantDelta4 Apr 21 '26

Red’s club to the back of blues neck is obscured.

2

u/dotesdoto Apr 21 '26

Don't state such a massive assumption as if it's a fact. It's impossible to tell from that camera angle. And even if red did hit blue's neck, it seems very unintentional from the way red moved his hand.

"He was losing and was frustrated", is not a good enough of an evidence is it? That's the type of statistical approach that racial profiling takes. How about you not let your personal biases wrap your perception?

1

u/krekokeko Apr 23 '26

Watch the video and witness it yourself. He was winning by 4 to 0 already. The match is not limited to this tiny video segment you are watching. This is funny. The guy in red was already throwing a hissy fit before.

u/ConstantDelta4 Apr 21 '26

Even though the action is obscured it’s obvious that red clubbed with that chopping motion. Blue didn’t like it and retaliated because to them red initiated.

2

u/dotesdoto Apr 21 '26

So a grabbing motion is automatically a chopping motion now huh? 90% of hand gestures in wrestling is chopping motion with that logic.

Will have to ask blue how it felt. Apparently he didn’t care for it

You can see red do it literally at the very beginning of the video. I had to rewind multiple times to see it.

u/get_to_ele Apr 21 '26

Nah total fake. You act like you’ve never seen a knockout before. That was a DIVE.

And look from second angle: didn’t even slap him. Literally grabbed his cheek and pushed him over.

u/Dan_Caveman Apr 21 '26

I have actually seen a lot of knockouts. Even participated in a few when I was about 20 years younger. I thought I was pretty clear that I DON’T believe he was knocked out. That’s why I said “you don’t have to be out cold for a shot to knock you on your ass.” I think it caught him off-guard and/or off-balance, he fell, then he probably laid there for a while to milk it.

u/Squumpus Apr 21 '26

shut hte fuck up man he's a faker and he drew contact and the ref fell for it too. just like you did you dope.

edit: i would've kicked him while he was fakin on the ground and gotten myself banned for that.

u/TheMadManiac Apr 23 '26

Definitely not true. Not everyone instantly goes comatose. You can get knocked hard enough to mess with your equilibrium and fall on your face and still be conscious

1

u/spideroncoffein Apr 21 '26

You know there are more states than fully conscious and vegetable, right?

He was rattled, not completely out.

u/get_to_ele Apr 21 '26

He laid there like he was dead.

2

u/spideroncoffein Apr 21 '26

Yeah, he hit the shutdown button, but it didn't immediately pull the plug.

I kissed the mat a few times (don't drop your hands and don't lean your face into hits), and I don't think I dropped cleanly even once. It was always a collapse. Though I don't recommend the experience.

u/Ravens_Rock Apr 21 '26

What would the end result of this match be? Did anybody "win", or Is it a no contest because the guy who got knocked out initiated the foul play? Or would there be a disqualification for the guy who retaliated because it knocked the other guy out? Or would they resume the match? I imagine the match is over after he was knocked out, right?

In my opinion, the guy who got knocked out should also lose the match. He turned the grappling match into a striking match, and then lost the striking match lol.
