Bad Blood: Dake Burroughs 

That are not behind pay walls

@Volunteer PRE55 🤡

And how about Dake winning a gold in the Olympics (like Jordan did) before we make him the best ever, comical

steroids help

@@brian6speed hah

@@brian6speed Yeah, because every guy he fought was clean.

@@brian6speed loser comment. There guys get tested constantly

He does so good because of his speed, technique, and athleticism. You don't know wrestle when you say that.

Dake is a fantastic wrestler. He also happens to be a shaved gorilla :D The throws that guy does in matches are astounding.

NOPE YOU GOTTA PAY FOR IT. Apparently the investors money isn’t enough to make these awesome videos free.

It took him 8 years and a lot of whining. Dake will be lucky to have another cycle in him after Tokyo. Burroughs Prime > Dake Prime

@@westcovinawildcatswc4660 considering how well dake did against Cox in 2016, I'd argue he had caught Burroughs by then. He just couldn't get past the weird trials and how USA Wrestling set it up.

@@pauldarling330 I’m sorry that shit is such a horrible excuse

@@avantcampbell9532 so why did Burroughs sit another tournament while dake faced 3 guys before getting to Burroughs? In 2017

@@masonwebster5160 so that means that dake is going to rescind his bye for the future trials right?

Who's watching after dake got bronze

@@im2rah same people watching after JB’s DNP in 2016 at Rio

Jordan’s beat dake so many times it’s not even funny can we really call this a rivalry when dake wins as many world championships has Burroughs then talk

Imagine you're in charge of the US wrestling program. Your star is Jordan Burroughs, who by 2013 (the first gauntlet Dake has to run), has been getting it done for the US for a few years now. Beyond Burrough's NCAA career, where he won two championships in 2009 and 2011, he has gotten gold at the 2011 World Championships and 2012 Summer Olympics along with first place at a number of other tournaments along the way. In other words, he's as proven a commodity as there is. Apart from Burroughs, you have a number of very good if not great prospects. Do you take your proven commodity, a man who has won gold for you multiple times on the world stage, and put him through an elimination bracket for the sake of 'fairness'? It's not like Burroughs hasn't faced and beaten these guys in the past. I respect the hell out of Dake, and acknowledge he had an insane road to get to where he is at. Nevertheless, I think US wrestling made the right call to protect one of the best wrestlers in the program's history.

@@iii-ei5cv didn't help your "best wrestler". Got destroyed by a tired Dak

@@IkesPimpHand Lmaoo

@@iii-ei5cv ur man got clapped

@@iii-ei5cv protecting a guy goes against the most basic ethos of wrestling, it’s a combat sport. Even in HS, the starter has to wrestle off if he’s challenged( and most schools). What you did last year shouldn’t matter, which is why they have WC EVERY year, you’re just assumed to be the best against, you have to prove it on the mat. In fact, at the WC/O, you get no advantage at all, because last year is gone, doesn’t matter any more. Dake was robbed in 2015, and jobbed at the US open in 2017, which forced him into the challenge tourney again, and Dake was inches from unseating him anyway. If it were JB who had to go through MAGIX, Howe, et al, no way he beats a rested Dake 2/3. This was the first year it was different, as Dake git a bye into the semis( J still sitting out) and the finals were the next night. JB was never in either match. Straight up, with no advantages and fair reffing; Dake is the man

Lmao

I heard he was going through reverse puberty

Hey at least dake doesn't look like someone's aunt Casey

@@hulksmashing underrated comment🤣

@@jesvinmathew5103 I think Jordan's going to be him because he is acting way more mature and more like a grown up as opposed to Dake who was acting like he's 12

Overall JB tho

@@LionOfKashmir Your reading comprehension sucks bro. "Dake proved to be the better wrestler AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME". This statement is undisputable given the results of the olympic trials.

Its kyle"s time. Jordan has done everything u can do in the sport. Im excited for kyle. It teaches u its not always your time but keep your head down and grind. And now he gets his chance to live his dreams... Go get tht gold!!!!

@@peterjones6075 this is a fair assessment but the amount of fanboys that preach the dake gospel as if he would have been a better champion and atop the sport over JB the last 10 years if the evil USA had giving him a fair shot is ridiculous. People go out of their way to not give JB his respect. That’s like saying man Federer is only dominating over Andy Murray in championships because andy had a harder draw to get to the championship while ignoring the face fed has dominated for multi generations and held the 1 spot over tennis which allowed him to get better draws.

@@desmundlighten3603 I agree I think you have to wait your turn. JB was the best in the world and now it's Kyle's turn thts just life take full advantage of your moment. But as far as the rules are concerned I'm tired of the excuses for Kyle you couldn't beat JB and thts it. The rules are the rules and some times they don't benefit u but it is what it is.

Why ?

Lmao he brought home bronze.. when he gets gold lmk

@@im2rah …well…better than JB not bringing anything home the Olympics before. 👍

Because it's good to see someone who worked so hard get a shot

@@dk1070 you must be a dake fanatic

Yeah

Then how would they reward grinding throughout the season? Being the #1 seed is earned, not given.

@@Truebrotha being the number one seed and having easier matches in general is already an advantage

must be happy he lost?

How can you still like him after watching him cheat so much??🤔

Word to that, I kinda lost my respect for Jordan. Dude employ such dirty moves.

Fr

Where was the love when JB was dominating winning gold medals at worlds and olympics ? I don’t understand how a guy that doesn’t have 1 gold medal get more love than your champion ??

The path to bronze. Not gold

@@desmundlighten3603 👍

@@desmundlighten3603 they're bias Jordan is a better wrestler

Oh it’s true

Why are you comparing him to Kurt angle?

@@mariochavez6586 it’s damn true

Did you?

@@katietrotter9374 ah. You didn’t get the reference.

They have a mutual respect for each other... Dake is just selling tickets and FLO subs lol

Yeah there was a weird slant on this story, going above and beyond to not give JB is due and to diminish what he has accomplished.

Excuses

Since when has it been modified?

@@Nonpeon-The finals are now the next day.

@@icarus8471 Good compromise, HOWEVER there should be a tourney every year (as is done in Russia) to understand who is the best each particular time. But hey...

@@Nonpeon-I 100% agree. But given how bad it was, it is a step in the right direction.

This is the best take I’ve seen the rest have been people crying about what dake has to go through as if the championship was just handed to JB. To be the champ you have to climb the mountain and dethrone the king. And JB was king for the better part of the decade. Also what’s with the “spin” from flo? Trying to make this a rivalry well it has been pretty one sided.

​@@desmundlighten3603 Very one-sided. Dave never gave up trying to beat Burroughs - props for that, but Buroughs was THE BEST wrestler in the world for quite some time.

😂😂😂True. But no man has ever beat burroughs three times. Sidakov could be the first since him and chamizo are the only two to beat burroughs twice

Weird how this is called bad blood Dake Burroughs, when it should be called Pyle simping for Kyle Dake every possible chance without telling any of the other side of the story.

Yeah it’s good production but super biased

Dake has only made world teams at non Olympic weights. Enough said

@@darknessrises3977 lol yup.

@@darknessrises3977 Okay Ray Charles

He has an advantage because he is the reigning us champion that’s how this works in individual sports look at tennis and any other rankings driven brackets if the rolls were fillpped and it was dake brining home golds it would be JB having to make it through the gauntlet

@@desmundlighten3603 exactly im tired of the excuses hes the champion thats how its ranked you have to wrestle to get to the champion if it was that bias Jordan wouldn't have to Qualify for the world team every year

It's just an argument of Dake's entitlement versus Burroughs earned spot

I like JB. Dake’s face bothers me. His trainer (functional fitness guy) is also a punk.

Jordan beat dake 7 outta 8 times

Yt

He’s only two years younger than Jordan

@@Eterntitty that’s what I was thinking lol

@@Eterntitty i feel like people forget that

I don’t think Dake ever got any better as a wrestler. I think his strength and stamina improved but his wrestling was obviously not technical enough to prevent an 11-0 tech fall in Tokyo. Burroughs has always been the more technical wrestler.

Called it

@@countrymorgan2942 Same result if 2020?

@@RogerPack I think so. Either man has been worthy of gold since 2013.

I saw that too

The carpenter,Clay Guida!

Dude I’m cracking up

I once met Clay at a Phish concert in Washington.

Wrong. Dake is the real class act

Did somebody need a Carpenter??

Flo has an entire film on Burroughs...

@@tedvanantwerpii880 they have a separate one on Kyle dake, I don’t see your point

Bro these days are never gone!

Made him so tough though

No he didn't he lost get over it

@@KAR5AVATARGT ... I disagree... get over it.

@@smashleyscott8272 you're wrong get over it

@@KAR5AVATARGT .... I'm never wrong, get used to it.

Exactly how do you dominate a guy for 10 years then lose once and have your opponent be lauded? Make it make sense I’m a casual though so I don’t understand the nuances but form the outside looking in it seems wrong.

The champion is the best.

USA wrestling has had this format for over 30years....as the no.1 ranked wrestler in your weight class in the world why should I have to wrestle in a challenge tournament?

@@web9craw8r 💯

@@web9craw8r Because that's normally how it works in any sport EVER. New year/season, new start for everyone. You won last year but that was last year. It's stupid to carry over last years results into the new year.

@@web9craw8r Here are some reasons 1. We want the best wrestlers. Any wrestling team chooses the best wrestlers by wrestling...wrestle offs. Best wrestlers are not chosen by polls, surveys, popularity, or rankings, its determined by head to head wrestling in an even wrestling environment. A fresh wrestler and a fatigued wrestler are not even. 2. The top wrestler last year may not be the top wrestler this year, so we have to measure. A tournament format does that just like the olymoics tournament 3. Runners, swimmers, judo, skiers all compete against each other so USA can put forth the best team and to avoid bias, favoritism, commercialsim, nepotism in picking the team so why should wrestling be different. 4. We dont give other champions in their weight class the same adavantage so why give it to only some? Jb didnt medal in the last olympics and hasnt won a world championship since 2017 and got 3rd in 2018 and 2019 so how far can we go honoring past championships and should ever? He was NOT ranked number 1 in the world. So should Dake now get to sit in the finals and not wrestle for next years team like all the other wrestlers that want his spot? If JB wants it back, should he wrestle 4 matches before facing a rested Dake? 5. The Olympics starts off with everyone wrestling and there are no protection for past winnerers sitting in the medal rounds. All start out equal by wrestling, so why shouldnt our trials mirror how the wrestlers will be treated in the olympics? But i guess it doesn't matter now. JB was defeated two matches in a row...now Dake gets to be king and all challengers have to wrestle many more matches than Dake just so they can wrestle a fresh Dake when they are tired and neat up....but if you guys are truly unbiased and believe the crap youvw been saying, you now support Dake in carrying on that tradition.. Also, its not completely true they have had this format for 30 years. Its been around a long time but not consistently as its been not used fpr times and then brought back. Its been controversial for some time and some of medal winners have won medal without it.

As a wrestler explain to me all the JB hate in the comments and the Dake love? Explain how someone can represent the US dominating on a world stage for the better part of a decade only to have people make excuses to why you when and cheer your demise ? And to give a guy who brings home bronze (a great accomplishment) more love than a guy who brings home the gold (the greatest accomplishment)

Burroughs’ shattered ankle FINALLY gave Dake the edge he needed. I would hate to get owned by a guy for a full decade - then get to the big show and immediately get teched 11-0!?!?! WOW!!!!

I was just about to post this as well.

Facts 7-1 isn't a rivalry. Dake ran away from 74kg in 2016, 2018, 2019. 😂😂😂

Good news...

Lol Kyle Dake is humble? You ever hear him talk about himself?
