To Aspromonte's credit, I think he is a lot calmer in other bouts I have seen from last season where he lost (either that or didn't fence well) and didn't do any "antics". But still, it's great to have him back on the circuit, we've all missed him. And just FYI for those that don't know the aftermath of what went down between Race and Aspromonte after San Jose (the screaming at 3:23), they actually don't hate each other. In fact their posts on Twitter following that match were ones of mutual respect to each other.
I agree, Luke Mitchell. One of the greatest things in fencing is the respect that competitors have for one another, in spite of the heated matches and intense rivalries. Aspromonte has an amazing game, with very strong technique and tactics. Just like you said, we definitely missed him and it's great to have him back.
David Tanamachi It just wouldn't be fencing without its "villains" (I kid but you know what I mean). But yes, Aspromonte has good tactics and technique-wise he's fairly good even though he's not someone I'm a fan of (I more prefer the Japanese and Russian style with some of the other Italian styles you see in guys like Baldini and Foconi).
+Luke Mitchell Absolutely, it just wouldn't be the same without fencers like Aspromonte. In terms of style, Baldini's footwork is one of my favorites, and I also like Sanzo and Ota in general. I hope to make more videos soon!
David Tanamachi Even though Ota has retired since Rio Olympics, I find that the fencer I identify with that has the closest type of footwork to Ota is probably Saito who is one of the newer fencers from Japan. Him and Matsuyama are my favourites from the Japanese team. I am a big fan of Baldini as one of my favourite Italian fencers (especially if you watch his fencing from mid-2000's, his setup game was brilliant). Sanzo was also a very, very good fencer to watch (I've had the privilege of meeting Enrico Di Ciolo, son of Antonio Di Ciolo, Sanzo's coach and from the same club). Other notable fencers I'm a big fan of are Safin and Gerek.
+Luke Mitchell I just saw a match between Saito and Meinhardt, and the touches were insane! I've always enjoyed watching Gerek fence. I'm also a big fan of setup games, and Baldini does have a brilliant style -- I'll check out his fencing from the mid-2000's. So awesome that you had the chance to meet Enrico Di Ciolo! A lot of respect for the Italian school.
only explanation i can think of and maybe im wrong i don't know the rule, but they probably both got a card for covering so it just stayed 14-14. Or ref made a mistake i don't know that wouldn't be the first time
Minute 2:21 12-11 aspromonte Starts The attack, Both of them hit the target and they gave the Point to The other Guy with Eros the attack was for Aspromonte. Why ?
I think aspromonte is funny because when he gets a point he’s like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it looks like Aspromonte lost the attack in both his feet and arm. Massialas hit him at exactly the right time when Aspromonte pulled his arm back and also had finished his fleche step. Either way it is an attack in prep OR a late remise/reprise
@@FencingInsider I'm not sure the call is actually incorrect - at least by today's interpretation of the rules, Aspro's first drop of the arm as he's running would be "attack no" and he hits with continuation. Or as Chris above says, it's attack in prep because Aspro is withdrawing his arm... although I wouldn't call what Massialas is doing an 'attack in prep' because he's not attacking. To me it looks most like attack no right, counterattack left.

4:37 why didn't Choupenitch win the bout? Aspromonte (apparently) were red-carded at 14-14, it should be Alex's point
only explanation i can think of and maybe im wrong i don't know the rule, but they probably both got a card for covering so it just stayed 14-14. Or ref made a mistake i don't know that wouldn't be the first time
Where would all the fun in the fencing world be without those wily Italians? Loved 3:27 I've had scream-offs, but never quite like that.
+Will Waters I can't handle the yelling in the face moments at 3:32 and 3:56 hahahaha
You all know your here for the same thing, don't deny it. 😂😂😂
💦
Spero di raggiungere i livelli del campione
Minute 2:21 12-11 aspromonte Starts The attack, Both of them hit the target and they gave the Point to The other Guy with Eros the attack was for Aspromonte. Why ?
im sure but its either he got an unclear parrie or he lunged while going back three steps which means the attack ius for him if he is lunged
@@rakanalghannam566no, the referee said that it was an attack on preparation, a bad call
Thats where we get all the fun
Glad you enjoyed the compilation, thanks for watching Aaron!
I think aspromonte is funny because when he gets a point he’s like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His reactions are priceless!!! :D
3:25 😄🤣
aspromonte vs massialas why the referee gave massialas the 13-11 point?
It was unfortunately a bad call at a crucial moment...
it looks like Aspromonte lost the attack in both his feet and arm. Massialas hit him at exactly the right time when Aspromonte pulled his arm back and also had finished his fleche step. Either way it is an attack in prep OR a late remise/reprise

What happen at 3:53 ?
Aspromonte yelled at Choupenitch's face and then when Choupenitch gave him a tap, seems like Aspromonte thought it was a challenge.
