Wrestling Match of the Year: Burroughs vs. Dake
Recently, the United States held their World Team Trials for
wrestling. This is the premier
competition in American wrestling, and it determines who will represent the country
at the World Championships. There
is only one spot for each weight class, which means that competition is
incredibly fierce. Most wrestlers
train their whole lives for this event.
Every wrestler in the tournament is competing for their dream, and ultimately
to have a shot at becoming a world champion.
In what was undoubtedly the most highly anticipated match up
of the tournament, Jordan Burroughs took on Kyle Dake. Burroughs is the Olympic champion and
arguably the best pound for pound wrestler in the world right now. Kyle Dake just made history as one of
the greatest collegiate wrestlers of all time. Burroughs was considered the favorite, but it is hard
to ever count out a competitor like Kyle Dake.
Check out the complete match below. This is what the sport of wrestling is
all about. These are two of the
most well conditioned and explosive athletes on the planet. No one will back down, but only one man
can win.
