Domination by Taylor. It may look like he's losing in the first few minutes, but I think he's deliberately letting his opponent gas out. At about 1:15, the Iranian makes a series of mistakes by trying to spin on Taylor's back while he doesn't have control of Taylor's head or a leg hooked- this is just wasting energy. By 3:30, the Iranian competitor is sucking wind, and you can see it in his body language that he's sort of deflating and getting frustrated. During the break, watch the two competitors- Iranian guy is leaning on his coach with both arms. Taylor is standing tall for the most part.

By 6:30, the Iranian is clearly gassed, and Taylor pulls off a beautiful scrambling shot that scores him a few points to take the lead. From there, it was all over except for the crying. Very impressive poise and technique from Taylor, but his endurance played a large part in this victory in my armchair opinion.
