Unbelievable. Burroughs, if you see this, you are a hero to me. One of the toughest things in this world-- wrestling and you have owned it. You just made a 4X NCAA champ who has dedicated every moment for the last year to beating you look like a middle schooler wrestling a high schooler. Amazing
travis johnson I think he wants a shot at the 2016 Olympics and 70kg isn't an olympic weight class. Other than an injury slowing Jordan down I don't think Kyle has what it takes to beat him 2 out of 3 times.
+VoodooChild2000 , yeah the 70 kg (154 lb) is a non-Olympic class, ...the next class down is 65 kg (143 lb). Its pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Why Olympics goes from 163 lb. all the way down to 143 lb. is silly.
Hey that's wrestling! As soon as the whistle blows anything goes. Lightning fast move by Burroughs and impressive that he was able to complete that many turns! But dominant victory for Burroughs
Immanuel Barber At this point, given the total wrestling of feet and par terre, I have to give it to Sadulaev. No doubt that Burroughs is among the best on the World Stage.
If Burroughs doesn't get the initial cheap takedown, if he doesn't get the 3 consecutive cheap leg laces, if he doesn't get the cheap 4 point move, and finally, if he doesn't get the cheap final takedown, Dake wins this match easily. 🐴
We better prepare for Iran and Russia...and i. Think this is the first start that was true freestyle wrestling that jordan displayed getting up 8-0. We need that from all of our USA wrestlers, cause thats all Iran and Russia do; get on a leg quickly take them down, then turn after turn after turn. Thats what USA should be working but were so used to folkstyle wrestling that our freestyle is sorta weak
etagged You'd think JB's been wrestling down in Stillwater since high school with that low single transition to a lace. That was absolutely beautiful in execution.
How do leg laces work? And how did Burroughs win in the end? I'm in my 2nd year of wrestling so don't know everything but if someone could explain that would be great.
Doubts Bro leg laces work by applying so much pressure to the opponents legs and hips that they have almost no choice than to give up the position and let you roll them because of how painful it can be. Its like fighting a half nelson but from your lower body, resisting it hurts so much that its hard not to give up and go with the momentum. In freestyle wrestling, which works a little differently than what you probably do in school, rolling an opponent and exposing there back gives you 2 points, no matter how brief the exposure is. In this video JB rolled Dake 4 times, giving him a total of 8 points.
Tsargush isn't going to the World Championships. He lost at the russian nationals, to the same guy Burroughs dismantled at the world cup a few months ago
+Shawn-I saw it on the original feed and I replayed the video to confirm it. He was in shooting motion before the ref blew the whistle and literally a split second after shaking hands. He saw that Dake was dejected and timed his shot to try to jump the whistle. It was smart. No ref would call it and Dake is as much to blame.
