@@scourge8097 yes. Thats how much better he is. Its risky and I don't think he should be doing that but thats what he does sometimes. If you want evidence I can give it to you.
Unstoppable? You didn't see Dake get teched 11-0 in Tokyo?!?! He peaked in 2013. At 33 years old if you still don't have an Olympic gold medal you never will.
@@HoldenCoughfield Outlier?!?!?! WHAT?!?! Burroughs beat Dake and then beat him again... and again... and again... and again... and again... and again... and again... SEVEN times before Burroughs shattered his ankle and had to take 14 weeks off. Dake at his best would have ZERO chance against Burroughs in his prime. Just as he has ZERO chance against Kadi.
Really no point in arguing with you. Jordan admitted himself he felt as good as he ever has. Dake has also smashed everyone, including beating guys that beat Magomed. He even came back and absolutely smashed Chamizo after that loss (Chamizo was a hair from beating Magomed in their match together as well). People peak at different times. Dake and Sidakov were also by far the favorites going into the Olympics and Dake is likely going to win Worlds again. Idk why you feel like you have to bash Dake just to dick ride Jordan. Dake is better than him now. Jordan peaked earlier and now Dake has peaked. Jordan has also looked amazing still.
Great wrestlers, but with the rules, this is not helping the sport. It is fun to watch Nolph switch his shot leg from left to right with almost no effort. That's good coaching and training.
The passivity clock helps some things but often the one off the clock just stalls. The push-out helps some things but the grounded rule is boring. US international skills are better and better. I hope we can get more athletes competing at large tournaments.
You can tell Nolf is the much better wrestler but Dake is freakishly strong for this weight class. If Burroughs hadn’t stood on his neck for a decade Dake could have been an Olympic gold medalist already!
@@quincyspielberger4366 lol nonsense. Styles makes matchups that’s it and Dake has his number now so it’s part mental. They wrestle different styles and both are amazing at their given styles..
@@de5913 Nah! Dake has 10 years of strength training that Nolf doesn't. In less than 2 years Nolf will blast right past Dake. There's no Burroughs to hold Nolf back for a decade.
My black lab is more articulate than Bader and gotta these statistics they throw around. Yes, Kyle Dake is good, but you can't say "99% of the time" after every statement. lmao
Not sure why he wouldn't want to open it up here, though. Dake's teched 70% of his opponents in the past 2 1/2 years. He doesn't go easy on his opponents.
@@Jlundeen Dake chokes every time he wrestles a good wrestler. He never wins when it comes to tech - he ALWAYS wins when strength and conditioning are the deciding factors.
@@brianegal2286 I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. Dake has one loss since Jan. 2018, over four years ago. One. How do you figure he always chokes?
@@Jlundeen He was a true college legend. All great wrestlers have an Olympic gold medal in their collection. Dake peaked in 2013. If he had been wrestling when Burroughs wasn't on the roster (or Cox) he would have won an Olympic gold by now. He finally got by Burroughs after a decade and then got teched 11-0 in Tokyo.
@@brianegal2286 Ah i remember you (or someone just like you) The "peaked in college" guy. It's a silly statement and you won't listen to any reason to the contrary. So yeah, a troll. See ya.
It took Dake a decade to get past Burroughs. Nolf will blow past Dake inside 3 seasons. It may be Nolf we see against Burroughs for the 2024 Olympic team. The pandemic had Burroughs training in a strnge gym due to a Covid breakout at his normal spot. He shattered his ankle running sprints when he tried to catch himself and missed a wall mat. You can't miss 13 weeks of training and still beat a guy as good as Dake.
Nolf have to improve his handfighting - he mostly avoyds the ties - he have to use his stance more - without handfighting you have to be very special like JB to be succesful
@@mmc582 it’s boring I’ve watched it enough 😂 It’s another sport entirely but to each their own. Some folks even love baseball, but it’s not wrestling. How is sumo doing with spectators anyway? 😂
@@TheRealOMT you can not like sumo but i dont know how you can say it is boring when their rounds last all of 5 seconds and generally finish with a throw. it literally could not have more action per second. also it is extremely popular lol
@@mmc582 it’s not popular in America where do you live? 😂 Did you even watch the match there was no action until the final 60 seconds. At least some of the other weight classes were good, Yanni and Taylor put on good shows for the fans.
Freestyle has become Sumo Wrestling, a lot of push-outs, wow, it horrible, what happened to our sport?. Someone needs to make a rule change or 2. No real action until the last 60 seconds. It's no wonder we are losing spectators.
@@HoldenCoughfield it’s sad when you see wrestlers like Kyle Dake using it, I still remember the old Kyle, before he turned so boring to watch. Hey at least the other weight classes had action, and were good for spectators.
You don't like Wrestling then. Dake's style of Wrestling is whatever style he needs it to be. You should go back and watch more of Dake. He's an incredible Wrestler who can win in a dozen ways. Go watch Dake vs Taylor...and if you still don't like his "style," then I stand by my initial sentence.
@@scourge8097 I agree, he wrestles what type of match needed, can be a lot of points or low like this one, but in control. I think next time he will put some distance between them, that was closer than he wanted lol.
@@chrissmith1364 I DO wish he'd Wrestle the whole match like he was on the clock. The man can score in EVERY position, every way. He explodes from that hand on the match, knee down defensive position, he can score off anyone's defense.

@@scourge8097 Well said. He techs opponents all the time with a variety of techniques and strategies. Sometimes he wrestles more defensively when that's what it takes to win. If he did so here it's because he respects Nolf.
Nolf's getting a lot closer. Not many people can hang with Dake like that.
he looks bigger and stronger, than he previously was. The next generation
I'm pretty sure he was taking it easy. He does that sometimes with lower level opponents.
@@angelrivas4042 Seriously? Kyle Dake was "taking it easy" to qualify for the World Championships?
There's no way you actually believe that.

@@angelrivas4042 No you can't because it's ridiculous. Dake is not "taking it easy." You can't give me proof of something that doesn't happen.
7 NCAA titles between these two. 8 NCAA finals appearances.
For being a 2-1 match there was so much action!
There was no action until the last 60 seconds. Your comment is almost comical.
They shit was boring. Stupid comment.
Nolf has come a long way
Nolf is right on his heels. Give Nolf some more time he will be unstoppable too

Easily visible Dake not going all out. Credit to the young buck, Nolf, for putting up a fight but he a very clearly outclassed

Dake is amazing
Nolf just seems much smaller
At this point in their careers, I wonder who would wit Taylor or Dake?
Taylor no question about it. He just murdered Valencia
Taylor was always WAY better than Dake. He just never wrestled Dake like he did everyone else.
@@quincyspielberger4366 lol nonsense. Styles makes matchups that’s it and Dake has his number now so it’s part mental. They wrestle different styles and both are amazing at their given styles..

We all remember their last match. Nolf realized how easy it was to beat Dake when Dake got owned in Tokyo 11-0.
@@quincyspielberger4366 your talking about the time date beated nolf in 30 seconds right?
@@Kobethornton1234 42 seconds - LOL - Nolf showed him WAY too much respect and learned from it when he saw Dake get owned 11-0 in Tokyo.
Just a matter of time before Nolf beats him constantly. Dake definitely had Ref on his side. I’ll root for whoever wins the spot.
dake will be better until he retires
My black lab is more articulate than Bader and gotta these statistics they throw around. Yes, Kyle Dake is good, but you can't say "99% of the time" after every statement. lmao

You Penn state d-riders said the same thing about Bo Nickal beating Snyder and JDen. And now he’s retired. Do you just enjoy riding penn state D?
That's laughable Dake when he has to get a lead does it in a manner of seconds
No legit points earned. But Dake finds a way, winners win.
Nolfs got him next year.
no he won't
🤣
Jden Cox did not win.. he stalled the whole match..
Dake's got that haircut from his mom.
Nolf will beat him soon
Speed advantage

They need to change the rules with this crap chest wraps and stale mate tactics.
