Taylor & Dake are such awesome wrestlers, they bring real excitement to the mat for the fans. I see only good things can come from the new rules that force the action, then add great competitors. This is the infusion our sport has needed for some time, because it's so good for veterans as well new people coming to our sport to watch and promote, hats off to both gentlemen.
Dake may very well be the 2nd best 74kg wrestler in the world. And that's just 1 year into a senior level freestyle career. Hes only gona get better. Hes gona have a tough time beating Burroughs no matter what but he may pull it off at least once. Either that or he should just wrestle at 70kg in non-Olympic years, get himself a world title or 2. One thing Dake has over Burroughs is those awesome upper body Greco-ish throws.
***** But......70kg is 154 pounds. Dake wrestled at 157 as a junior and heading into his senior year said he didn't anticipate getting any bigger and would only move up to 165 if the team needed him to.
man, look at the size difference now lol they look like teens here but up at 86 they look like grown ass men lol... of course its 74 to 86 but that size difference is crazy
There were a few times in this match where they were both scrambling well, but Dake's strength advantage over Taylor made the difference. The last takedown really showcased it pretty well I think, Dake just overpowered him.
Scratch that... On another note, I have a slight assumption that non-wrestling fans were surprised that Dake won national college male athlete of the year. If only people knew! I mean I cannot even comprehend what goes on in his head when his shoes touch the mat. Legend.
DT’s biggest mistake was becoming friends with Dake and training with him. He could probably have stole a match or two if Dake wasn’t so familiar with him.
I personally like the commentators. I love wrestling, however, at this level it has a slower pace than normal. Mostly because they are either waiting to make a move, or waiting for their opponents to make a mistake. Just like any other level you wrestle at(except maybe pewee). My point is, in wrestling anything can happen at anytime, but as a commentator you want to make it interesting. And quite honestly, they aren't bad at it. Have a good day sir. :)
im lovin these comentators
Bruce Lee my ears are ringing

Great match! And the announcers are so random talking about his socks! Loved this a lot.
Taylor is such a great wrestler, but he just can't outsmart Dake or Burroughs.
_babaganush_ Burroughs is just too good but he’s had major competition with only 1 point wins
Kyle dake is a great wrestler with great scrambling techniques
Dyle Kake owns Tavid Daylor.

Kyle Dake wins again. David Taylor is getting better though. I am a big Kyle Dake fan though watched him since he was a Freshman!
David Taylor got tired. He's still one of my favorites
Taylor always loses to Dake when they wrestle, it's gotta be some mental barrier
To bad neither one of these guys will ever be gold metals bc Jordan Burroughs is in the same weight class every year
This comment didnt age well
@@surreptitiouswritings I was about to say that 😂😂😂
this comment aged like fine win
man, look at the size difference now lol they look like teens here but up at 86 they look like grown ass men lol... of course its 74 to 86 but that size difference is crazy
It's all so mental for taylor
man o man i want taylor to atleast one time!!!!
who are the commentators? they crack me up
Its Jake Herbert and I don't know the other guy. Speaking of Herbert I hope he comes back.
DSdouble Its Mark Bader from FloWrestling
MrCharityGaming Cool thanks.
Thanks
Dake is the best wrestler of all time

I believe that both these wrestlers are at the same level. But currently, its more mental for one than the other.
Has Taylor ever won against dake ?
The margin between Taylor and Dake has slimmed down since Des Moines..
every match he faced a former national champion
Scratch that... On another note, I have a slight assumption that non-wrestling fans were surprised that Dake won national college male athlete of the year. If only people knew! I mean I cannot even comprehend what goes on in his head when his shoes touch the mat. Legend.
one of the commentators sounds exactly like yianni diakamaholis
Morph Madness lol i just noticed
holy crap i think kyle dake had the hardest bracket ever
DT’s biggest mistake was becoming friends with Dake and training with him. He could probably have stole a match or two if Dake wasn’t so familiar with him.
im on the hunt
Hahaha. It's the butttap that helped him win
nice match one day i would love reach there level
energetic definatly
Good match
Ben askren would stand zero chance against either of these two
+Super Saiyan Machoke He'd destroy them in a fight though.
ImpassableGuardJJ definitely. But he is a pro fighter
And they are pro wrestlers.
- Taylor should at least get a point for that scramble in the 2nd period ..
taylor absolutely can beat dake just hasnt happened at the right time I think.
and in the end..the olympian...
Kyle Dake is the man...
Dake is inside Taylors head at this point. Thats not a good way to start a match.
no
lol but they are good friends
To much respect for dake
to the commentators: be relevant to the action or be quiet.
