From what I saw, Taplin wrestled Cozart the same way I wrestled Taplin. With way too much respect. It's good to respect them, but if you respect them too much, you start changing the gameplan that has always worked for you. It seemed like at the end of the match, when Taplin started really opening up, he started doing a lot better. Almost caught Cozart on his back. Just too much of a deficit too overcome. I was impressed nonetheless by the way he wrestled and handled himself afterwards. I really wish I could have seen a rematch in the consolation semi's. Congradulations on your all american finish.
