After watching this series, I feel like no one needs to say anything at all. There it was, everything clear to see. We all know. Thank you, Mr. Dake, Mr. Burroughs, for truly great wrestling.
I know there's a lot of JB's haters, but you've got to respect his toughness and "never quit" attitude. And to stay at the TOP of the mountain both nationally and internationally for SO many years... that's incredible. I don't see how could be left out of the conversation for greatest U.S wrestler of ALL-time. I don't think there's ever been a field of wrestlers this talented in any other decade. He's an amazing champion and deserves all the praise, awards, accolades and championships. I'd love to see him win another Gold medal, but that would be really, really tough. I've also enjoyed watching the evolution of Kyle Dake... I used to think he was kind of a boring wrestler to watch... Lots of defensive, low scoring matches... It seems like with his increasing confidence mixed with frustration, he's really starting to open it up and take a lot more risks. I don't know how much longer Burroughs is going to be able to beat him. Regardless, great wrestling from both Dake and Burroughs. Congratulations to Jordan Burroughs, well done! ~But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.~
As much as I love Jordan Burroughs, he's getting old. Back then he destroyed Dake numerous times, now he's struggling a bit. I really miss his power doubles. At least he's a gold medalist.
So satisfying to watch Jordan shut these two biased announcers up. They annoyed me every single one of the 3 matches. Props to dake but you’ve got some growing to do before you can dethrone the king
Huh? People are way too sensitive about announcers. I thought if anything they favored Jordan. But, I didn’t really notice any favoritism. I think you are just invested in Jordan, so any criticism bothers you. But at the end of the day that’s their job. To analyze and announce.
you guys complaining about this third round and how it shouldn't have even happened, especially with regards to Dakes takedown, it wasn't a takedown. In freestyle, a takedown requires 3 points of contact. JB clearly only had one knee down and one hand posted. The other hand was up, and the leg extended not touching the ground. There was also no control since if they were in the center JB could've gotten up and potentially broken the lock Dake had. clearly was a push out for one point You also cant say that JB wasn't attacking this match, as he clearly was, much more than Dake in the last one, which is the reason dake was put on the clock and JB wasn't. This was a great match between two great wrestlers. Love watching them duke it out every time. Also, while the "punch" did look a little dirty, it came from close quarters and wouldn't have had enough power to actually hurt Dake bad enough for him to fall to the mat like that for real. I think he may have been pining for a tech, or a break cause of fatigue. not saying it wasn't something to be looked at, just saying it really didn't look bad enough to warrant that reaction. its like when basketball players get "charged" on. And even with the caution, Dake would've only had 3, leaving the score 6-3. and if for whatever reason they gave dake the push out, it would've been 4-4 with JB leading with criteria, even though I personally prefer when ties lead to overtime.
Dake definitely flopped after Burroughs came with the hand. That hand to the face wouldn’t be able to put my 5 year old cousin on his ass. Let alone a 20+ year old athlete.
Exactly what I was saying. It was a moot point anyway because they would have tied. Some people were saying that the takedown wasn’t exposure but Dake was on his elbows haha.
Samuel Bruce don't forget dake teched and went OT with dake in the same night the first time they met the next time it was a relatively close match like 6-3 then after that he teched him 14-4 and this time his wins were 7-4 and 6-2 so u never know when he might pull off the tech...all JB really needs is a nice tight leg lace and boom tech...he just about 10-0'd dake right off the whistle the last time he teched him...what an awesome catch there...
Definitely as I actually believe Dake should have gotten the win in the round 2 match. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the back exposure points Burroughs got was the difference in the series win but I thought to get back exposure points your back had to touch the mat. I think Burroughs being fresher not having to wrestle as much really made the difference. First 2 matches really close but thought Dake was too gassed in the 3rd round match. I think it will be a heck of a match between them to get the Olympics.
@@cjb2836 but thats just my opinion. Now wrestling is highly risky as well, because of the sheer strain you put ur muscles through. Which is why there is alot of injuries. Boxing not really, mayby a hand hurting. But head trauma is real and the scariest when u get old.
Beautiful chain wrestling - shot re-shot was excellent at beginning - then Dake took a break, got caught snoozing on the edge and got gut-wrenched... Dunno if Dake should go up a weight, go down one or wait for Burroughs to retire - this sort of reminds me of Monday v. Schultz trials rivalry
im a huge fan of jordan and kyle and i’ve always accepted the fact that jordan was better but i️ can honestly say that i️ think kyle was the better wrestler and that kyle was just gassed from all the matches he had to go through before he had to wrestle a fresh jordan
Lets at least mention that Jordan is being cheap with his hand fighting, to include borderline punches and eye pokes, both are amazing but Dake's style was more impressive to me.
@kmden Rt im not a wrestling fan but all ppl are saying is dayke is getting better and was obviously tired cuz he ran through a gaunlet and still gave a tough fight. If u cant agree dayke has gotten better and could perform better fresh than tired than i think u just not thinking clearly
@kmden Rt i think u should reread comments there are comments saying dayke is gaining on burroughs which means they know he better also seems like im this tourney dayke has more matches for w.e reason which is what ppl referring to him being tired beforehand not getting tired mid match i get ur a fan but u not reading or trynna get ppls point
@kmden Rt did i say he beat him? U yet again not reading correctly ppl are saying he getting better dont knock somones hard work he obviously gonna get better throughout his years and anyone who thinks someone who works hard isnt gonna gain on someone its about drive hunger and passion not saying the other guy dosent work just as hard. Im not even arguing who better smart ones
I would also loved to seen Dake at the London Olympics. I think Dake has closed the gap though and it will be a heck of a match between them to see who goes to the next Olympics in their weight class. It's too bad that the weight class Dake won his back to back World Championships is not one so they could both go!
At the US Open Dake was put on a shot clock TWICE in the second period for wrestling exactly the way Boroughs wrestled in this second period. I said it then and I'll say it again, Jordan Boroughs, whom I have great respect for as a champion and an ambassador for the sport, is being officiated based on his reputation. It's not Boroughs' fault, he's doing what every athlete does and needs to do, wrestle the way the refs call the match. But I'm having more than a little problem with USA wrestling and the refs that they seem to be willing to perpetuate this bias. I'm not a Kyle Dake fan either. I'm a fan of wrestling in general and want to see the sport prosper, and this kind of one sided officiating is becoming pretty obvious and hurts the sport.
Dakes defense is really good but when he is going down he has a habit of not turning down. That’s how he lost match 2. If he had just given up the 2 and not the exposure then he would have been in a much better position.
kmden Rt half this match was just Jordan using heavy hands, hands to the face and stopping in a position and not working so he could simply force a reset rather than attempt any possible counter
Augustus Appling Clubbing the head and posting on the forehead is not cheating. Dake literally does it too. Are you that biased that you don’t see him doing the same thing?
Congratulations to Jordan. Two great wrestlers. I wonder what Dake will consider doing? Keep working for next year? Can these men make enough to support themselves wrestling? Is Jordan shooting for another Olympics?
Sure knows how to hold on for a whole period and not get put on a shot clock or warnings or anything. I don't know the controversy over these 2 are crazy.
He didn't get put on the clock cause he shot, at the very least in the beginning of the period. And there was action between the two. The defensive moves by JB, like the push outs also counted for action to keep him off the clock. Dake was hardly even tying up or even circling when he was up.
There’s a difference between posting on the forehead and hands to the face. Dake just bitches about it. The refs will call it when it’s hands to face which will eventually happen if you post a lot because the person does keep their head still.
Dake never had a chance against someone as good as Burroughs. He desperatley needed Burroughs to slow. Burroughs shattering his ankle when he missed the wall mat has made a HUGE difference. Dake peaked in 2013. He will never win an Olympic gold medal! He was a beast in college but that's where he peaked. If he had to wrestle anyone of the 2012 version of Burroughs' caliber while at Cornell he would not be a 4X NCAA champion.
I’m curious on how they will do against a level playing field. Dake makes excuses on how he never wrestled JB fresh, but Zain and Gilman went through a whole challenge tournament that same year. If you ever watch a Flo wrestling interview with Gilman, he even thinks that wrestling in the challenge tournament gives you momentum.
I’m new to watching wrestling but from watching the three matches I notice a tactic of Jordan B where he will “club”, punch, and put his spread fingers in Kyles face. All is fair in war but I can see it frustrating Kyle but I truly believe if there were to penalize people for that more carefully Jake could have a better shot at beating Burroughs
Here's the intellectual follow-up comment to that. Burroughs won the world championship. Dake probably would not have. Now that the weight classes are expanded, maybe we'll get to find out if Dake can have the success internationally that Burroughs has. It seems unlikely.
Dake was just to tired, say what you want the challenge tournament is bs. After wrestling IMAR, Alex dierenger and a FRESH Jordan Burroughs 2 times in a row he didn't have anything left compared to Jordan who had been just watching all day. Just think to yourself and even against Jordan when ever do you see someone break dakes lock like that on a cradle, when does someone just straighten their leg to break his lock on a single leg multiple times like it's nothing. Whenever does Dake just stand straight up for 50% of the match. If this version of Burroughs wasnt just a shadow of his former self in term of aggression Dake would of gotten hurt. Because he would of got blast doubled out of this world. I was very shocked to see Burroughs trying to hang on to a 4 point lead over a broken opponent and that he didn't look for the tech. Hope he wins gold and didn't crush dakes dream for nothing lol
j v is tony Ramos a 4x world champ??? And top ranked in the world? He's not? Oh okay. Dake is on a different level then Ramos and Gilman, he could of did the same thing in that bracket. It's a different story when your trying to beat someone who's been top 3 p4p in the world since 2012. And Dake still managed to beat Burroughs once which is a great accomplishment of its own. So you hush up
j v all I'm saying is someone as good as Burroughs or anyone doesn't need to be given a advantage like this, It's not fair. It's already a tall task to beat them anyways. It's not impossible but the odds are definitely not on your side
Michael Hayes at ncaas there isn't a person sitting in the finals while the other person has to beat several ncaa champs just to make the finals against a guy who hasn't wrestled all day. You sound dumb
Because of arcane rules, misdirection, misunderstanding of the true spirit of this sport and ignorance....All of it on MY PART....this is why MMA is so popular. MMA has a clear and easy way for the layman to determine that the judges were right or wrong. I have no idea what is going on with real wrestling. Fake professional wresting is easier on my mind.
After seeing full match twice, Burroughs even allegedly after his prime has too much juice, too much energy - Dake was very tired - he hits his knees too much on the mat to continually score against someone like Jordan, hence Dake is very good at those body locks, gator rolls, seat roll throughs - Honestly though, even though Dake is very good and can wrestle on the international circuit, he doesn't do well against top international competition - We wish both warriors the best ~
@Jake who cares ? if you're up to taking spot ,you should prove you're worth it,jb been proving hes the best for last decade taking championships.it is square and fair.
Wrestling a great wrestler like jordan in that situation really do sucks for dake because he already is handicapped by his prior match,but hey jordan has to do it himself when he was coming up.
fyi wrestling is incredibly useful for BJJ, and if you do no gi BJJ like ADCC, you will never make it to ADCC if you have not practiced wrestling along wiht your BJJ. The only BJJ players who dont like wrestling are the bjj white and blue belts that get dominated by the wrestler. respect the art. you need it. a pure wrestler will never make it to ADCC obviously, not even close, and a pure BJJ guy wont make it either, although he would have been a lot closer. Put in the grind and learn some wrestling
I'm aware it's very physical in rivalries, and I'm a huge Burroughs fan, always have been.. But I wish he wasn't that little bit dirty that he seems to be recently
The pushout rules, and the hands in the face rules are fucking dirty. And there’s got to be a better way to call stalling cause Jordan just literally stopped moving at some points
I don’t really know that much about wresting but it’s annoying when then ref keeps blowing the whistles like dam it’s just now getting good i prefer seeing a shorter match with no whistle blowing to just let them pin them selves
Dake is not even in the same league. Burroughs is an Olympic level athlete. Dake just never leveled up. He was awesome in folk style he just never made the transition.
JB is a great wrestler, no doubt . . . but if someone kept slapping me in the face and poking my eyes I'd damn sure be doing it back. I'm mad for Dake. But I still think the better wrestler won.
REALLY. HOW BOUT DAKE IN ON A SINGLE AND BURROGHS GET 2 FOR EXPOSURE THAT NEVER WAS CLOSE AND DAKE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 2 FOR THE TAKEDOWN??? USE YOUR EYES.
Dake was on his butt leaning back on both hands. I immediately thought exposure before it was even awarded and the takedown was out by the time he secured it. Look, I understand that there are a lot of Dake fans that really want this for him, but as Dake said himself, he's just going to have to "step up" a little more. The gap has closed considerably. He'll get there.
Look I don't care what anyone says ever since I've been wrestling If ur a number one seed in an odd number bracket guess what u get a bye a break rest to watch ur next opponent. Even though dake is obviously fatigued that's his fault understand dake just had to win One match wrestling is a sport of pushing through so dake needs to stop talking to referees and work on his endurance and Jordan Burroughs needs to not wrestle like a pussy all he wants is a lead n yes that's smart and safe it's not the Jordan I remember who won the Olympic gold medal the one who was not even known going into his senior year of high school and then came and took the wrestling world by storm. All I have to say is scared money don't make no money.
The point of wrestling is working smarter, not harder. When you have a lead on someone, your coach always tells you "Don't do anything stupid" especially against an opponent that has you evenly matched. The Jordan you knew was 4 or 6 years younger. He's almost 30, and will be 30 in the Olympics. Jordan Burroughs is ancient by wrestling standards so he has to wrestle differently than he did 4, 6, or even just 2 years ago because he knows that those leads are going to be harder for him to get. And that holds especially true for Dake, who is his main contender. Note what you said. "senior year of high school". His body isn't the same as it was then. It doesn't make him any better or any worse, just different.
yeah so what if the most important match of the tourney isn't fairly matched at all. honestly its stupid that you favor burroughs. the olympic wrestler should be the best of the nation, not someone who won because of an unfair advantage.
JB is a better wrestler than Dake. Dake, like David Taylor, cannot rise to the occasion. JB has proved hes a better wrestler than Taylor, Dake and IMAR time and time again!
Dake is clearly the Stronger wrestler, but Burroughs is the better wrestler I love 2 see physically weaker opponent win the match bc u get 2 see other attributes of wrestling displayed
It wasnt a punch or slap. Their heads bumped, slightly. But really, it was fatigue -- quit playing Kyle [in my best Cartman voice]! In general, regarding the match, Jordan is simply the freasure wrestler. Ive been saying this for decades, you cannot judge who is better when one of the opponents has more ware on them from additional matches. Thats basic reasoning! One-on-one duels provide the best formate in determining legit winners (both wrestlers are freash) And keep in mind, i love tourneys, because they test you differently that a duel, but NO ONE should get free pass. Suspend your disbelief for a moment and think.: It is a flawed system/process -- which does not accuratly tell us who is better, because the variables are different.
i'VE SEEN WRESTLERS EJECTED FROM THE BUILDING FOR LESS. YOU CAN NOT PUNCH IN WRESTLING TO THE FACE AND SINCE DAKE FELL TO THE MAT I WOULD SAY IT WAS A REAL PUNCH NOT INADVERTENT. MAYBE A DEMO TO BENJAMIN SAYAH WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND
I like Burroughs, but that was a punch and it was dirty, Dake flailed, still should've been a point. And Burroughs should've been put on the clock. Probably would've been the same result.
It would've. Even with the caution and a point for the clock, the score would've completely ended on 6-4. I'm sure Jordan would've done a bs shot or two every now and then if he was put on the clock anyways
After watching this series, I feel like no one needs to say anything at all. There it was, everything clear to see. We all know. Thank you, Mr. Dake, Mr. Burroughs, for truly great wrestling.
Kyle dake is a beast, but that just shows you how GREAT Jordan Burroughs really is. Amazing!!!
First time watching wrestling. This is a cool ass sport dude
This is man
JB has beaten a 4x National Champ like what, 7 times? That's pretty crazy.
TheZiggle Olympic vs. National
TheZiggle and you’re pretty gay
TheZiggle frfr
Dirty
Leland Boice no he doesn't he just better than Kyle
Who else is here after their recent heated argument?
Me
Yess 🤣🤣🤣
Happily watching Dake get owned because he’s such a douche bag. Literally the most classless dude I’ve ever heard .

Damn straight. He'll pass the crown when ready. No ones taking it. NJ all day!
So now we also know that Burroughs has knockout power as well! Great candidate for the UFC.
Great Candidate
This is so frustrating to know these two cant be starters for 2 different weigh classes like the amount of grind each put in is captain insano

He was already the man though he been the man since college and 2012 Olympics and world title.
Atlas Bailly if he isn't good why does he have a Olympic title and 5 world titles and beat Dake multiple times.
If it makes him feel better, he did a great job against the World Champ.
Awesome three matches. America is deep in great wrestlers
Two truly great wrestlers battling it out.
Jordan Burroughs is the greatest wrestler I’ve ever seen

More satisfying watching Burroughs win after hearing dake disrespect him recently I hope JB proves everyone wrong again
Both are awesome wrestlers. Bouroughs is so quick. All three matches were stellar.
Man I would've loved to see Dake compete in Paris but God dammit burroughs is still my #1
I would also loved to seen Dake at the London Olympics.

Beautiful wrestling
Put some respect on his name, people seemed to be so happy to see him finally lose when it mattered to kyle. Respect to both of these athletes.
Watching them wrestle is so awesome
Jordan should blast double Dake every time he whines to the official
La Flame Burroughs is dirty as fuck. He fucked dake in the face
That wasn't on purpose, his head was thrown into sales head and Jordan's hand came up, it was natural reaction

Burroughs is by far my favorite wrestler and to be honest is much better than dake. He has supported my statement 9 times against dake.
Michael Quinones, couldnt have said it better myself. Dake is a beast and that just shows you how great Jordan Burroughs really is.
burroughs is so dirty, if he would be more fair, dake wins
Burroughs knows how to WIN!!!
Amazing. Just wow.
Would love to see a match between these two when both of en are fresh, seems like the one who’s had less matches that day always wins
Congratulations to Jordan. Two great wrestlers. I wonder what Dake will consider doing? Keep working for next year? Can these men make enough to support themselves wrestling? Is Jordan shooting for another Olympics?

make a guy wrestle all day, then give him a fresh wrestler for the finals ? seems legit
Im not a Dake fan, but Jordan gets away with so much hands to the face...if it was Zain it would be called every time.
And I wunder why? Lol
Harvish Mehta I think it’s a stupid rule in the first place

Dake peaked in 2013. He never made the transition to freestyle. He should be paying Burroughs for the wrestling lessons!
The person who should've won did win.
john nuhj very intellectual analysis
Here's the intellectual follow-up comment to that. Burroughs won the world championship. Dake probably would not have. Now that the weight classes are expanded, maybe we'll get to find out if Dake can have the success internationally that Burroughs has. It seems unlikely.
David W this comment didn't age well
Eric Drought yeah lol
Eric Drought facts that comment aged poorly 🤣
I like Burroughs, but man, that punch to the face was dirty.
Bobby Hickman im sure it wasnt intentional. i think he was goin for the hook kyle clubbed him.
Jordan J your probably right, but he's been warned so many times. I get thats just his style. Kyle should've got a point.
Dake was just to tired, say what you want the challenge tournament is bs. After wrestling IMAR, Alex dierenger and a FRESH Jordan Burroughs 2 times in a row he didn't have anything left compared to Jordan who had been just watching all day. Just think to yourself and even against Jordan when ever do you see someone break dakes lock like that on a cradle, when does someone just straighten their leg to break his lock on a single leg multiple times like it's nothing. Whenever does Dake just stand straight up for 50% of the match. If this version of Burroughs wasnt just a shadow of his former self in term of aggression Dake would of gotten hurt. Because he would of got blast doubled out of this world. I was very shocked to see Burroughs trying to hang on to a 4 point lead over a broken opponent and that he didn't look for the tech. Hope he wins gold and didn't crush dakes dream for nothing lol
Dheontae Unseld ok gilman went through the same beating Nico ..nato...Tyler an then beat a fresh tony ..so hush up
j v is tony Ramos a 4x world champ??? And top ranked in the world? He's not? Oh okay. Dake is on a different level then Ramos and Gilman, he could of did the same thing in that bracket. It's a different story when your trying to beat someone who's been top 3 p4p in the world since 2012. And Dake still managed to beat Burroughs once which is a great accomplishment of its own. So you hush up
j v all I'm saying is someone as good as Burroughs or anyone doesn't need to be given a advantage like this, It's not fair. It's already a tall task to beat them anyways. It's not impossible but the odds are definitely not on your side
Excuses are amazing! What happens at the NCAA? You wrestle multiple matches. I never hear , one person had a tougher road than the other smh
Michael Hayes at ncaas there isn't a person sitting in the finals while the other person has to beat several ncaa champs just to make the finals against a guy who hasn't wrestled all day. You sound dumb
I love Jordan's clubs and double but I think Drake is overall the better wrestler
Because of arcane rules, misdirection, misunderstanding of the true spirit of this sport and ignorance....All of it on MY PART....this is why MMA is so popular. MMA has a clear and easy way for the layman to determine that the judges were right or wrong. I have no idea what is going on with real wrestling. Fake professional wresting is easier on my mind.
Dake was exhausted, but a good match. I wish there was more throwing happening in freestyle
hard to pull off throws lol
Dake is the best ever, he had to wrestle so many more matches and still almost won and eventually did.
Wow, that Dake kid got rob. Clearly the better wrestler, Clearly won all three matches.
R Bush lmao
The best wrestler won. What is it now, 8 or 9 to 1 in favor of JB?
goated
After seeing full match twice, Burroughs even allegedly after his prime has too much juice, too much energy - Dake was very tired - he hits his knees too much on the mat to continually score against someone like Jordan, hence Dake is very good at those body locks, gator rolls, seat roll throughs - Honestly though, even though Dake is very good and can wrestle on the international circuit, he doesn't do well against top international competition - We wish both warriors the best ~
@Jake who cares ? if you're up to taking spot ,you should prove you're worth it,jb been proving hes the best for last decade taking championships.it is square and fair.
Called JB holding at the end "desperation" when its common sense strategy...wtf lol.
anyone else think JB looks smaller than in year's past?
as much as i love JB he is a one trick pony
enought to be the best in US at 74kg,isnt it ?
Wrestling a great wrestler like jordan in that situation really do sucks for dake because he already is handicapped by his prior match,but hey jordan has to do it himself when he was coming up.
i have a greater love for BJJ after watching this
Why?
fyi wrestling is incredibly useful for BJJ, and if you do no gi BJJ like ADCC, you will never make it to ADCC if you have not practiced wrestling along wiht your BJJ. The only BJJ players who dont like wrestling are the bjj white and blue belts that get dominated by the wrestler. respect the art. you need it. a pure wrestler will never make it to ADCC obviously, not even close, and a pure BJJ guy wont make it either, although he would have been a lot closer. Put in the grind and learn some wrestling
JB he scores WhenEver he wants to SCORES..... Period.!!
Unsurprisingly these anouncers are extremely biased against JB - accusing the guy of punching KD in the face?? Wtf.
Burroughs has perfected the fingers in the eye. he should be held accountable before some kid trying to copy JB puts an eye out. its dirty tactics .
I'm aware it's very physical in rivalries, and I'm a huge Burroughs fan, always have been.. But I wish he wasn't that little bit dirty that he seems to be recently
Jordan Burroughs is King
Has Jordan ever been put on a shot clock round two he didn’t do crap
JB really struck that man in the face
Burroughs playing dirty
sounds like the commentary is in favor for Dake :(
Do you listen to the commentary?
The pushout rules, and the hands in the face rules are fucking dirty. And there’s got to be a better way to call stalling cause Jordan just literally stopped moving at some points
He didn't even shake the man's hand. He'll never beat him again.
Tbh fake was really milking that "punch"
Burroughs better retire, Dake is winning the next series.
🤔...nah.
I don’t really know that much about wresting but it’s annoying when then ref keeps blowing the whistles like dam it’s just now getting good i prefer seeing a shorter match with no whistle blowing to just let them pin them selves
I really wish they never implemented those stupid pushout points.
JB cracked Dake lmao 6:00
Dake is not even in the same league. Burroughs is an Olympic level athlete. Dake just never leveled up. He was awesome in folk style he just never made the transition.
JB is a great wrestler, no doubt . . . but if someone kept slapping me in the face and poking my eyes I'd damn sure be doing it back. I'm mad for Dake. But I still think the better wrestler won.
Dake is nice he was tired this is a very sloppy match
Why was this controversial, again? I saw nothing wrong with the officiating in all 3 matches.
REALLY. HOW BOUT DAKE IN ON A SINGLE AND BURROGHS GET 2 FOR EXPOSURE THAT NEVER WAS CLOSE AND DAKE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 2 FOR THE TAKEDOWN??? USE YOUR EYES.
Dake was on his butt leaning back on both hands. I immediately thought exposure before it was even awarded and the takedown was out by the time he secured it. Look, I understand that there are a lot of Dake fans that really want this for him, but as Dake said himself, he's just going to have to "step up" a little more. The gap has closed considerably. He'll get there.
How about the intentional thumb to the eye in match 2?
Or how about the punch to the face In this match? Is anyone fucking paying attention?!
@MemeLordSupreme yes and im sure you know this from many years of being close personal friends with him.
Every wrestler making excuses has never done anything worthwhile in the sport
BURROUGHS IS AWESOME, BUT THIS MATCH NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRESTLED! BAD CALLS IN MATCH TWO BY THE REF AND APPEALS...COME ON BE JUST.
Dake should have deployed the uppercut after getting punched in the face the third time.
dake deserved the win in match #2. i don't think there should have been a match #3.
Look I don't care what anyone says ever since I've been wrestling If ur a number one seed in an odd number bracket guess what u get a bye a break rest to watch ur next opponent. Even though dake is obviously fatigued that's his fault understand dake just had to win One match wrestling is a sport of pushing through so dake needs to stop talking to referees and work on his endurance and Jordan Burroughs needs to not wrestle like a pussy all he wants is a lead n yes that's smart and safe it's not the Jordan I remember who won the Olympic gold medal the one who was not even known going into his senior year of high school and then came and took the wrestling world by storm. All I have to say is scared money don't make no money.
The point of wrestling is working smarter, not harder. When you have a lead on someone, your coach always tells you "Don't do anything stupid" especially against an opponent that has you evenly matched. The Jordan you knew was 4 or 6 years younger. He's almost 30, and will be 30 in the Olympics. Jordan Burroughs is ancient by wrestling standards so he has to wrestle differently than he did 4, 6, or even just 2 years ago because he knows that those leads are going to be harder for him to get. And that holds especially true for Dake, who is his main contender.
Note what you said. "senior year of high school". His body isn't the same as it was then. It doesn't make him any better or any worse, just different.
yeah so what if the most important match of the tourney isn't fairly matched at all. honestly its stupid that you favor burroughs. the olympic wrestler should be the best of the nation, not someone who won because of an unfair advantage.
JB is a better wrestler than Dake. Dake, like David Taylor, cannot rise to the occasion. JB has proved hes a better wrestler than Taylor, Dake and IMAR time and time again!
Dake is clearly the Stronger wrestler, but Burroughs is the better wrestler
I love 2 see physically weaker opponent win the match bc u get 2 see other attributes of wrestling displayed
It wasnt a punch or slap. Their heads bumped, slightly. But really, it was fatigue -- quit playing Kyle [in my best Cartman voice]!
In general, regarding the match,
Jordan is simply the freasure wrestler. Ive been saying this for decades, you cannot judge who is better when one of the opponents has more ware on them from additional matches. Thats basic reasoning!
One-on-one duels provide the best formate in determining legit winners (both wrestlers are freash) And keep in mind, i love tourneys, because they test you differently that a duel, but NO ONE should get free pass.
Suspend your disbelief for a moment and think.:
It is a flawed system/process -- which does not accuratly tell us who is better, because the variables are different.
Where was the damn caution point for that hit to the face? I hate seeing Burroughs win with his shit hits in the face and on the head.
Benjamin Sayah It was inadvertent. Shit happens.
lol no burroughs is a dirty asshole, he already did this last two rounds, glad the russians spanked him lol
i'VE SEEN WRESTLERS EJECTED FROM THE BUILDING FOR LESS. YOU CAN NOT PUNCH IN WRESTLING TO THE FACE AND SINCE DAKE FELL TO THE MAT I WOULD SAY IT WAS A REAL PUNCH NOT INADVERTENT. MAYBE A DEMO TO BENJAMIN SAYAH WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND
I like Burroughs, but that was a punch and it was dirty, Dake flailed, still should've been a point. And Burroughs should've been put on the clock. Probably would've been the same result.
It would've. Even with the caution and a point for the clock, the score would've completely ended on 6-4. I'm sure Jordan would've done a bs shot or two every now and then if he was put on the clock anyways
Drake carried the match Burtough won by the skin of his teeth !! Drake was just unlucky and the ref seemed biased!!!! Damn!!!
What brand of fucking stupid are you on?
JB poor sport had to cheat smack poke eyes
