Incredible balls by Dake to bump up to face Taylor this year. Could've easily stayed down and won his fourth title and still had an epic career. Chose to bump up to take on another all-time great. Awesome.
He stalled the whole match once he went up 4-2. Look at 9:30 all he did was hang on with the crawl ride under Taylors arm. That shld of been his first stale call.
Easily one of my favorite matches of all time. I find myself coming back to watch this. I like how at the end at 12:25, Cael is clapping for Dake. Respect
4 timers get standing ovation from everyone when they win as a right of passage. Especially from Cael who is also a 4 timer he knows how tough it is to do
Kyle is one of the best college wrestlers of all time. To win a title 4x at 4 different weights is insane. Not to mention having to wrestle DT to win one of them.
Of 2013, yes, I would agree with that. Of all time, my favorite NCAA match is Dan Gable vs Larry Owings, there are other ones that I like that come close to this, this match included, but I just like Gable and Owings better

The best thing you can do for me and this team, get out there and wrestle this match.” And Chuck Jean did wrestle, and he won a national title

Steeve Cantave not at his peak in college... he didn’t come in a fully developed hyped prospect. But when it all clicked he was as good as it gets in college, so peak for peak he very well could’ve beat them then. He did, after all, have world success immediately after college...
do not fuck with JERSEY WRESTLING ! Once Rutgers can keep their homegrown talent. They will win some National titles! I am from NJ and never considered wresting for any NJ college, I wanted out so badly.
Its crazy to think that David is such a dominate wrestler and no matter what he could never crack the kyle dake code. Even when they were both at 86 kg and Taylor obviously was more comfortable at the weight he just couldn't pull it off.
I was just thinking about that. Taylor is lucky Dake decided to move back down or he wouldn't have anywhere to go. Dake took Cox to a third match in the Olympic trials that year and we know how good J'den is. Still can't figure out why Cox moved up. From my understanding the weight cut was not the issue. I don't think David gets by him either, he already lost to him in the trials that one year. Wild stuff.
Those that think he wasn't stalling, all you have to do is watch any Kyle Dake match in freestyle to know that is how he works. You never have to worry about Taylor being aggressive and pushing the action, but you do with Kyle. Same thing with J'den. Only J'den has a secret weapon.
@@glossjunkies6026 true, but there is a reason taylor left the weight class. dake outclassed him for years and taylor left the weight class because of dake and burroughs. taylor is a phenominal wrestler but he knew he couldnt get it done while competing with the competition at 74kg
@@dalerobertson3044 His frame was also much better suited to move up. He was too skinny for that weight, probably a good 4 inches taller than Dake or Burroughs. And then after moving up he dominated everyone not named Yazdani and still got it done against him when it mattered.
I was at these NCAA finals and this match was hands down best of the night! N there was a lot of gr8 wrestling that championship! Steiber vs Ramos, tons of great matches but Dake vs Taylor was the highlight
who would have thought that they would both compete in 2020 Olympic games, and Kyle would win a bronze medal and Taylor would win a gold medal. moral of the story is to not let failures stop you from dreaming big.
@@ScottKuechenmeister How ignorant and hateful. First playing the race card and being racist. Second comparing folk to freestyle. Third, you had arguably the top 10 college wrestler of all time going at it. Multiple NCCA Champs facing off while Taylor was breaking every point records and the other going for his 4th in 4th weight class that was never done. Borroguhs was a great college wrestler without a doubt, but he's the first to say his real career started international. Stay angry.
So many epic American wrestlers right now. Burroughs, Snyder, Cox, Gable, Dake, Taylor, Gilman. All have a world title and/or Olympic Gold. Incredible stuff.
@@ElMcMeen1a 4 different weight classes is more impressive to me than undefeated personally but Cael also lost during his redshirt so technically not undefeated
ikr he is continually picking him up and slamming him, nearly getting shoulder exposure idk how they score or if they score that in folkstyle but he was never really on his knees either on his feet driving, trying to drive him to the mat and turn, then when he go up drop him again where if he wasn't already wrestling from down those would all be takedowns
Taylor is and always was the better wrestler. He is a technician that for unknown reasons wrestled Dake's match every time. If the match comes down to strength and conditioning Dake has an excellent chance. If the match comes down to technique and speed Dake has no chance. We studied these videos in college and the general consensus was Taylor should have won. He just doesn't wrestle Dake as hard as he does everyone else. The rue measure is the Olympics. Only 6 weight classes - no ducking the talent.
As a fight fan I have a fundamental understanding of wrestling and fighting in general, but I'm fairly new to wrestling specifically. I don't understand the stalling calls, it seemed like Dake was defending his top position, and doing it with spectacular slams. But what really stumped me was how the score ended up 4-4 at the end. Of course Dake won with that incredible mount defense, but how did the points go from 4-3 to 4-4? I don't get it honestly, was it the stalling call? It was obviously a bad call, but is that what gave Taylor a point in the end?
Watched Taylor and Dake a lot in college. Taylor was definitely the better wrestler. None of us could ever figure out why he wouldn't wrestle Dake like he did everyone else. I think Taylor even went on to win an Olympic gold medal and Dake never even made it to the Olympics until Burroughs was finally injured.
Taylor was great but Dake was just better. He defeated Taylor every which way both in folk and in freestyle. Like the Southern Scuffle match where everything seemed to go Taylor's way, his tactics were perfect, and he still lost. All that said, Taylor's style with the constant leg attacks is better in freestyle because he never has to put himself in high risk positions. Dake even recently said he wanted to work on the leg attacks more.
@@icarus8471 WHAT?!?! Anybody that ever wrestled questioned how Dake was able to beat Taylor. The only matches Taylor didn't wrestle like himself were those against Dake. Nobody ever thought Dake was a better wrestler - nobody!
He just appeared in the finals 3 times. this was his 3rd time. He got pinned his freshmen year by Bubba Jenkins in the finals then he beat Lehigh his sophomore year then he lost to Kyle then he won his senior year
So they've been wrestling against each other since high school both in competition but also in private when there families would get together? That means Dake has probably been beating him for a long time.
Those stall calls were awful. How tf is that stalling? This is literally the NCAA championship, these are supposed to be the best refs around. I can at least see why on the second one, Dake was backing up a lot, but he engaged back and got shot on, and had to sprawl, and then it was given to him. I can see why it was given, but I don't think it was justified in this case. Also, I'm not confident about this, but isn't 11:05 fleeing the mat? He's on the bottom and he crawled off the mat intentionally.
I feel like Kyle Dake being a 4 times NCAA champion at 4 different weights is the most over looked accomplishment in American Wrestling
He the GOAT imo
Facts. Not many people talk about his 4 titles.
Absolutely the most over looked .. The man didn’t even get a mention on ESPN when this happened
