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

@@daddydollabill5102I can put him after Cael Sanderson and Dan gable, cael undefeated throughout all 4 years, Olympic gold too, dan gable only had 1 loss his whole college career, Dan gable also had an Olympic gold

Dake WILL win Olympic gold as well.

@Domingo Palacios I was a freshman in high school wrestling . They were our inspiration

They still are my inspiration. 7-8 years later we still wrestling and grappling 👌🏽🙏🏽

Don’t agree to add Taylor but I would say that for Dake. I would put Dake up there with Boroughs

@@michaellindsey3682 Dake and Taylor are both above him in my oppinion. Taylor was a 4 time finalist and won the hodge trophy 2x. Internationally Jordan was better but not in college.

@@michaellindsey3682 boroughs isn’t In that conversation for college wrestling at all… He’s one of the goats in freestyle but folkstyle not a chance…

He beat him twice that year before this if I remember right. I remember wanted David to win at least once but never did

Bruh he was working w the half like u could tell he was working with it and he got called for stalling... bs

Im a Dake fan and both of those stall called were warranted. Let's take the rose colored glasses off for a minute and be objective.

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.

John Smith you mad bro?

RBB1965 it’s not like he was laying on him not doing anything he was working n mat returning

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

@@Enarjay7891 I recall anticipating this match for months and it did not disappoint. Been great to watch them since.

He beat national champs 3 outta 4x in the finals. Montell Marion is the only non champ he faced

Of 2013 100% agree.

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

@@ianshue2890 My Dad and Uncle were there for Gable v. Owings. After the match, the place was so quiet you could actually hear the 150 pounders’ shoes squeaking on the mat. The guy in the stands behind them said: “Damn, I just wanted it to be close. I didn’t want him to actually lose.” 3 minute standing ovation for Gable when they were on the awards stand. No one could hear Owings’ name being announced as the champion. Interesting sub-story: Gable was alone in the locker room right after the match. Chuck Jean walked in, dressed in his street clothes, said he was leaving and forfeiting 177. Gable talked him out of it. In addition to Jean, Iowa State had 2 more in the finals after 142-they won all 3.

One of them. It was not a let down. I’d probably vote for Joe Williams v. Ernest Benion in ‘96. Or Pat Smith v. Tom Ryan in ‘91.

@@andizzyJD12 yeah Chuck didn’t want to wrestle. Chuck said “I’ve never wrestled in the lineup behind you when you lost, and I’m not about to start now.” And at least from what Gable said, he did a backflip right there and said “CHUCK, you wanna double hurt me? I just lost so if you lose, that’s another loss on me, I’m the captain of this team. 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

Fr corona got us messed up

very correct observation

While you were right on one.

*gold medalist

@@AlexSanchez-ft7wi I think he said former cause Burroughs didn’t win it in rio and I don’t think he won gold at worlds in ‘19.

And a future gold medalist

Weird to view it like that haha. More like Taylor got a Olympic gold medal before dake could

@@glossjunkies6026 it’s sad he failed to get gold after all the expectation and besting burros. It at least he got bronze. You could tell something was wrong. Hurt or sick or something.

Can’t forget IMar/Nolf and Metcalf/Caldwell

Of course

Sanderson dominated Trenge. Not much of a match.

@@youarerightboss Trenge kept it close in their meeting prior to NCAAs, I put it up there considering Cael wasn't as dominant the first time they wrestled.

@@youarerightboss It was also the age defining moment where an NCAA D1 wrestler went undefeated through four years and won four titles. 🤷‍♂️

You got it dog

Good luck

I'm Captain Obvious, so pardon my pointing out that the wrestler whose name appears first in the title is the eventual winner.

@@joeblow7236 or the fact that it shows a picture of Dake with his hand raised in the thumbnail haha

Me me me me I I I I

@@tsquirrel8675 😂

In freestyle. Burroughs probably lost 15 college matches, and some of them were to guys who left no mark on the sport.

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...

GRap TheGOAT It’s not the same sport. Dake was capable of winning matches with one takedown.

Steeve Cantave Lol and jb was capable of winning with as many takedowns as he needed. So what.

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.

Now Taylor has a Olympic gold medal and Dake doesn’t

@@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.

Dake has no code - Taylor is a WAY better wrestler - nobody knows why he shuts down against Dake...

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.

@@jeffgrove6568ok, that's why Dake continuously beats him every time they meet...

@@Dpend84 Where is Kyle Dake's Olympic gold medal?!?!?! I seem to recall Taylor has one... Burroughs has one...

Wait what

Takin131 lol he's kidding

"It's crazy how they date each other now ! " But isn't that the same thing that your mother said about you?

@@tallswede80 that was just so unfunny😐

@@iiRoyall nevertheless, it looks like his mother did say that about him.

maybe cuz theyre related

Inbreeding

Who failed?

gitgud haters ☠️☠️☠️

Dake beat him once by criteria 🤷‍♂️ lol but like I said, once.

But their white so let's pump them up.

Dake already beat Borroughs. Was robbed by officiating. HAnds to the face Burroughs.

@@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.

Khabib would get rolled up and dipped in his own sauce by either of those two. Period!

Khabib’s wrestling style is really close to American folk style, the closest of any non-American I’ve seen anyway.

Locked hands is just a point not a stall call

Worked out really well!

@@e2go I’m a Dake fan but just loved the intensity of the match

@@e2go Even though he lost it showed Dake that he wasn’t going to lay down after two previous losses. Dake turned it up and won!

And Cael?

@@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

?

all I do is win- DJ Khaled Lol it was a highschool anthem for kids back in '10

@@thaohgee3694 no the one at 1:20

Do u know yet cuz I’m wondering the same thing😅

Yes two stalling calls gives your opponent a point. Which tied it 4-4 and then the riding time gave Dake the W

The riding time point. Basically, if you’re on top for a minute more than your opponent, you get a point at the end of the match

@@warlocks69 Thank you.

Wrestled*

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!

Yea he was gaining weight to avoid good wrestlers but wrestled Taylor you’re a clown

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
