Hassan RAHIMI helped Iran get out to an early 1-0 lead with his one-point win over USA’s Tony RAMOS in the finals of the 2015 World Cup in Los Angeles.
The turning point of the 57kg matchup came in the second frame, when Rahimi and Ramos traded two exposure points. After the action was blown dead, the Iranian world champ led 4-3 on the scoreboard. But Ramos questioned Rahimi’s exposure points and challenged the call. The call was ultimately upheld, giving Rahimi the 5-3 advantage.
With one minute left, Rahimi conceded a caution-and-one, cutting his lead to 5-4. Then, with less than 30 second remaining in the bout, Rahimi jacked up double underhooks and drove Ramos out for the one point. He won the bout and kick-started Iran’s eventual 5-3 over the United States. Here are the final results:

The referees are shameless when us hosting a wrestling competition!

[@hercmet]

Exactly what was ramos trying to do ? Choke him?arm bar him? And that body triangle,what for..?

[@arsham7700]

Watching this after 2020(1) Tokyo Olympics. Really sad about the fact that Hassan Rahimi has retired,otherwise he would've slaughtered Thomas Gilman as well.that American should learn a thing or two about showing respect to other wrestlers.

[@user-fu5mn7gn4y]

Both heroes

[@mohammadazimi323]

Good job Hasan! We are proud of you.

[@sams9124]

Iranian athletes are very gentle spirited and humble. Ramos really pushed the boundaries and was being extremely disrespectful.

برا چندمین بار دیدم این کشتی رو حسن جون دمت گرم آفرین

[@Golobtin]

I liked Hassan Rahimi's attitude a lot. On one hand he was polite enough, early in the match that when his finger hit Ramos's eyes he apologized ever sincerely, but at the end, when he noticed the problem with the scoreboard, before his coach noticed, he was sharp, decisive and assertive to get his rightful points back. I like such balance in an athlete and individual; skillful, fair, yet not taking BS from anybody ....hope he becomes Olympic champ in Rio 2016
