Huh 😂? Saudlaev is by far the best p4p wrestler in the world. I seriously doubt Burroughs is top five anymore.

when was burroughs last world championship? He is maybe top 5 in the US at this point.

@@pauldarling330 he’s been 10 seconds away from a world championship the last two years don’t disrespect the goat like that.

@@matthewlee8618 Burroughs is great. but he is no John Smith. Not yet at least.

@@znhait Saudlaev is far and away the best wrestler on planet earth. But this match was incredible. Good for Dake. Glad to see him overcome Burroughs who "big brother'd" him all these years.

no he's thinking i should not have gave him so much respect and played aggresive from the beggining

yea those eye pokes from jordan like stinging bees

What do you mean?

Owned

blast double boy got teabagged

the other guys name is literally in the title my nigga

@@handle690 was he essentially saying "I own you"?

Its called Tea Baggin

hahahaha that got me dead

You could totally see it, he knew it.

The Reffing in this match was a little suspect Dake backed up the whole 2nd period and JB should of got a point because of Dake stalling/Negative wrestling. Whether it would of been a Caution 1 or 2 for fleeing the mat is debatable. This match should of at least been 3-3 in the last 10 seconds, giving JB a chance to win with a Step Out of bounds point at the end. Because of criteria he had to go for the takedown which is hard to do against a stalling Dake.

It’s possible that Burroughs is a little bit past his prime at this point. I mean, he’s not that old, but technically 33 is just past the theoretical window of true/absolute “prime” and “peak” physical/athletic performance. In a game of inches and milliseconds at the highest level of freestyle wrestling, if you’re a guy who relied so heavily on your raw athleticism such as Burroughs did, then being even slightly past your peak can be significant or noticeable. If you yourself notice it and let it get to you, then your mentality and confidence are significantly impacted as well. This creates a compounded effect that magnifies the initially marginal loss of pure athleticism into a more major diminishment of overall wrestling performance. Not to take anything away from Dake, who first and foremost won because he’s improved gradually and steadily as a wrestler over the years and now is reaching his peak form. Some guys like Dake have a delayed peak because they succeed not just with athleticism but rather skill and technique and sharply honed wrestling instincts. Burroughs would’ve needed to be in peak form in order to stand a good chance of beating *this* current version of Dake who’s on another level than he used to be

And breaks my balls

nah dake's mastery of FP and tolerance to eye pokes won this lol

@@spilkspmilk6798 lmao

Dake has consistently been unlucky over the years. That man went through gauntlets every year just to wrestle a man who was fully rested. Dake finally got his day, and it proves today that he is the better wrestler.

@@wowthink can’t forget a couple of bad calls made by referees, it happens tho

That hits home :(

Dake is the new run. And also just as special

ikr lol

They wrestled like 10 times 😂😂😂 Burroughs beat him every time

Burroughs was offensive, he just couldn't overcome dakes defense this time around.

@@wilsonordonezmata6144 Steeve with the COLDDD take.

@@wilsonordonezmata6144 I am obviously referring to the present. Those two matches were not competitive. It wasn't a fluke that Dake won.

Dake gets one point and waits for JB to attack

Yea Suriano got covid😔

They cant both rep the US

You must place/win at senior nationals, pan ams, or last chance qualifyer. Being world champ, pan am champ, or being on the world team auto qualifies you.

@@thundercheeks1989 that’s crazy. so you just have to win nationals?

That's a "stupid" question. It's "clearly" on KZfaq... but you're too busy being a jerk under my comment lol

@@user-ty5em5lh6g Wow looks like I really hit a nerve, you can't stop thinking about me! I'm touched to have had such an impact on your day! Why don't you go away and keep looking for reasons to be mad at people, huh? Maybe one of the wrestlers gave another a mean look, why don't you go tell him to retire.

@@tylernicholson5319 LOL. You're the one with the hit nerve... trying to tell me off 🤣. I'm not sure what nerve you think you could've hit of mine. I commented here because it's hilarious... and ironic that I saw this question from you when I decided to actually scroll down.

Exactly.

I think Dake figured him out two or three years ago. He just didn’t want to cut down to 74kg and hurt team USA by doing so. I think Dake would beat Taylor, too, but he wanted to make a real statement by going for JB.

🤣

When you’ve been the best for so long and you’re so intensely competitive, it’s hard to act happy/pleasant after the match just ended and you haven’t even had time to digest the significant, career-impacting loss you just received, especially when it disqualifies you from the Olympics and thus likely ends your Olympic run, possibly forever

Maybe. But haven’t there been other indications that Dake has significantly improved and leveled up as a wrestler? Didn’t he dominate incredibly in this past World Championships tournament and nobody scored a single point on him in the entire tournament? I’m not expert on amateur wrestling, I don’t follow it that closely, but that seems like a massive accomplishment and indicative of a difference between the level Dake is at now compared to the level he used to be at. I do believe that Burroughs might be slightly past his true/absolute prime or peak as an athlete also, and for someone who relied so heavily on raw athleticism, that’s significant in a game of inches and milliseconds at the highest level. So it’s a combination of BOTH Dake improving AND Burroughs declining. But I’d say it’s MORE about Dake improving

He has all the tools still

@@youthinasia7 no

i’d put money JB won’t even try

well since this is for the olympics, and next year will be the world team dake is at a different weight class, its just a non olympic weight class

@@austinhensley6553 i was talking about olympics he already said he only had 1 more games in him on jre so

He wasnt teabagging him. He was either loading up his hips or trying to look busy so the ref didnt blow the whistle and he could keep working

@@thundercheeks1989 I see thanks for clearing that up. I was honestly confused by what he was doing here.

@@handle690 Lol yeah it's a legit wrestling move. Something about keeping himself ready to explode out of that position. Still looks pretty bad 😂

Rob Flion you are a putz, but I think you know that.

Joe Reed I think the porn has finally rotted your cabeza, sit down.

+Jason Swift Where the fuck does PORN somehow factor into anything this guy just wrote?! If anything you’re revealing your own private obsessions that you presumptuously project onto others in turn

+Joe Reed I think you’re being sarcastic haha, but the other guy above didn’t quite catch onto that. Nobody would seriously suggest that somebody would ever lose on purpose, unless it was something involving gambling and setting in a “fix”

@@kirklandau2826 That's being sarcastic, genius.

+jason Swift It’s just an odd thing to bring up haha... I mean, wtf

Not sure where my response went. You wouldn’t have deleted it to save face, would you??? Because that would be rather pathetic. Anyways, as I said the first time, Khabib is not a pure wrestler, he’s an MMA fighter, and thus he’d get humiliated one-sidedly in a pure wrestling match against either one of these guys. I’m just not sure what Khabib even has to do with the video/match at hand. Khabib arguably ducked an elite D1 All-American wrestler in Michael Chandler btw, and an elite overall grappler and fighter in Charles Oliveira. Everyone is beatable, even Khabib

Is this an actual factual account of their relative political stances or are you just being a douchebag troll making ridiculous assumptions based off of shallow stereotypes?

@@kirklandau2826 you didn't have to ask in such a loaded way. But yes, Burroughs tweeted out that he was happy Biden won. And Dake follows all right wing people on his account and "likes" their stuff. And he's open about supporting Trump. It's easy to connect the dots and find the info on Twitter.

He's a multiple time world and olympic champion you meat helmet

@Jake Tratnyek no but he’s been the face of wrestling for 10 years.. if that was u and u lost u would feel like the world just ended. You can see Jordan’s pain

Mohsen Vohra, you'd have to stand on a ladder just to kiss the shoes of the "guy" in blue. Sit down loser

@@seegzj.o5850 cry me a bucket, wimp

You're awfully quick to jump to conclusions. To me it looks like he's trying to push the head down to create separation and possibly open up the throw, maybe even instigate Burroughs to come up so Dake can use it as an opportunity to throw. Sure, the optics aren't great, but to use your own speculation as a reason to smear Dake and call for his retirement? That's just stupid.

@@tylernicholson5319 Smear? It's on camera...2 different angles. I agree that he did it to provoke a movement that would lead to points. That doesn't change the fact that it was viewed as disrespectful by a lot of people. I think both should retire and do something else with their time given their ages in the sport. There isn't much money in wrestling. But if they want tti continue, so be it. Are you the "stupid" for quickly jumping to that conclusion and assuming my rationale?

@@user-ty5em5lh6g You laid out your rationale pretty clearly... "but the move he did on his head was disrespectful and unsportsmanlike"... "If you purposefully do shit like that"..."If it wasn't for that, I would be all for Dake finally getting his chance at the Olympics". Every sentence of your statement was formed in response to your *speculation* of why Dake did what he did, but I'm stupid for not thinking your last sentence was in complete isolation to your previous train of thought? Yeah ok.

@@tylernicholson5319 So you think that I believe Boroughs should retire because of what Dake did?? That's "stupid". The last sentence was an independent thought. I just clarified my rationale on retirement. But I'm sure Dake will put in 1 more yr and go after a World Championship... especially if Burroughs retired this year. Go away.

@@user-ty5em5lh6g It was necessary
