John Smith v. Joe Domarchuk 1987 Pan Am Games

[DavidForthoffer]

John is in the red. Nice move by John at 1:16. Good defense by Joe at 3:10. I'm not sure why the ref stopped it at 4:55. Maybe he was cautioning Joe for passivity, and that's why he put Joe down.

2:22-2:44 = good stuff

he almost had a nice arm throw early on. you can tell he's a very good wrestler with sharp skills. but he's wrestling john smith, so...

[brands1]

ps john smith in his day coulda used any as toilet paper, everyone cept for beleglazov if he wasnt paid off or past his prime

[brands1]

ouch u guys don give us alotta credit, yes canadians do wrestle, we just dont have the funding to make it a serious sport, that and our talent pool is alot smaller

[dckundr]

canadian's wrestle ??

[feonvux]

No because 10-0 is superiority in those days. I don't know who domarchuk was but he wrestles like a guy with sharp skills but lack of quality training. condition and match reflexes let him down.

[superdave198]

Actually 12-0 was superiority in 1987.

[ChocolateLove123]

you dont consider 8-0 a superiority?

[DrJoseSanchez]

Smith could've used this guy as toilet paper if he wanted to.

[superdave198]

You must be American. I did not see a pin or a superiority.

[DrJoseSanchez]

You must be Canadian.

[superdave198]

Yes. I do agree that Smith was the dominant wrestler, but I thought that toilet paper was a little harsh.
