Adam Saitiev takes on Alexander Leipold in the finals at 1999 Worlds. Adam, just 21 at the time, was a force of nature with some of the most relentless and aggressive hand fighting you will see.
Leipold for his part was a former World champ, multiple time World medalist and was known as a crafty technician, particularly on defense. His chest wrap was especially dangerous - as seen towards the end of the match.

So while low scoring (I think 6-3) this is one of my favorite matches of all time and the very first match I put on Flo when I was one of their early content creators back in 2008/9. Saitiev is doing so many things here it is difficult for even an elite wrestler to comprehend. Throwing so many combinations like a prize fighter. So crafty, so smart. The way he baits guys to take things that work in his favor is incomparable. For example the way he sticks his foot out to footsweep knowing the guy will grab his leg so he can get his overhook and when they back out he’ll either pass the elbow or slide back to the head to do his abas snap or force them to take a bad shot. Oh and btw he’ll inside trip or Polish throw you from there. It’s crazy. It’s almost like he’s a snapping turtle using the evolutionary lure inside its mouth to snatch prey. Genius. I can (and have) watch this match for hours. Nice one - Guru PS: Poor Leipold. I picture him waking up in the middle of the night screaming “Saitiev!!” with his wife demanding to know who this Saitiev woman is 😆

I always thought that what separates the Saiteivs from others was their hand fighting, they dictated just about everything

Both were very aggressive hand fighters. Not coincidentally, both had very good endurance and could push the pace and tire out and even break a lot of people with ther handfighting. What I find interesting is that while they were aggressive they also had a relatively "loose" style where they were willing to engage in just about every position, take risks, spam foot sweeps, give up underhooks, give opponents opportunities to grab their legs, etc. A very "non-conservative" style that was obviously very effective for them plus a lot of fun to watch.

@@DPSBreakdowns funny you say that, my friend wrestled with b saiteiv and said it was the weirdest experience he ever had, when you grabbed him he would go limp like a hanging rope, and then immediately grab you with a freakish grip

I think what sets them apart is their balance

@@chrislaverick6413in my experience, when we grip up with a guy, and he’s all tense, you can feel when he’s going to explode. If a guy makes contact with you, and initially you feel nothing, when he DOES move, it’s almost more surprising.

The smaller man the bigger predator. Freakishly good and imposing at such a young age; technical, incredible balance, strong, nimble, creative, funky, the whole lot.

Thanx for video Remember i recorder B Saitiev match against Leipold at my VHS Leipold was that only serious opponent for Saitiev for years (outside Russian national team).

@DPSBreakdowns 3 ай бұрын

Leipold was tough. In B Saitiev's 3 matches against Leipold at Worlds he never scored more than 3 points against him.

The only thing that beat adam was his underweight in initial days of his career as he had to move a weight class higher to avoid fighting his brother and his age in his later age of his career or else he was unbeatable.

@DPSBreakdowns is there any chance you’ll do videos for wrestling in mma or submission grappling?

Obviously you don’t understand high level wrestling. To do what he did in the world finals against someone was amazing.

@wrestlermike22 I think he meant its amazing he did all of this to someone that good. That even during scrambles that had 5-6 move sequences the guy still have the defensive awareness to not get pinned.
