I feel like Kyle Dake being a 4 times NCAA champion at 4 different weights is the most over looked accomplishment in American Wrestling
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.
These guys are two of the best wrestlers in NCAA history. Hard to believe it’s been 8 years.
@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…
Idk about you, but I’d think it’d be pretty cool being a four time champion by beating the kid who’s coach is also a legendary four timer. That’s pretty neat
Incredible balls by Dake to bump up to face Taylor this year. Could've easily stayed down and won his fourth title and still had an epic career. Chose to bump up to take on another all-time great. Awesome.
He beat him twice that year before this if I remember right. I remember wanted David to win at least once but never did
Dake had the two worst stall calls against him and he still won
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
Easily one of my favorite matches of all time. I find myself coming back to watch this. I like how at the end at 12:25, Cael is clapping for Dake. Respect
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.
Really enjoying these throwbacks
Kyle is one of the best college wrestlers of all time. To win a title 4x at 4 different weights is insane. Not to mention having to wrestle DT to win one of them.
He beat national champs 3 outta 4x in the finals. Montell Marion is the only non champ he faced
Bro I miss wrestling so much 🤼♂️🇺🇸
Fr corona got us messed up
Both amazing wrestlers going to be the Olympic champions in 2021 :)
very correct observation
While you were right on one.
We had been blessed with legendary matches such as: Dan Gable vs. Larry Owings Ed Banach vs. Mark Schultz Cael Sanderson vs. Jon Trenge Johnny Hendricks vs. Mark Perry And Finally... DT vs. Kid Dynamite!
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. 🤷♂️
The greatest NCAA final of all time
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
I love freestyle but folk style classics just always high pace out the gate w some jitters and nice scrambles love it
Kyle Dake just beat a former gold medalist in olympic trials. Thats how good he is.
*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.
Watching this and going back to watch other NCAA matches got me smh.... Two legendary wrestlers wow
Dude Cornell is my dream college I want to follow yanni and Kyle
You got it dog
Good luck
Whose here after both of these legends medaled?
I discovered this guy 1 day ago and I love this dudes story. God bless him!
Crazy that they both peaked 6-8 years later. Most wrestlers get worse after college
Insane the Jordan beat both these elite guys.
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.
I like how they didn’t give away who won in the title, everyone needs to do this so I enjoy the matchup😂
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 😂
I was at these NCAA finals and this match was hands down best of the night! N there was a lot of gr8 wrestling that championship! Steiber vs Ramos, tons of great matches but Dake vs Taylor was the highlight
If there’s 3 seconds left on the clock and I’m down I’m shooting off the whistle
2 future Olympic medalists going head to head
I remember no matter how many times Taylor wrestled Dake, Taylor could never beat him
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.
Those that think he wasn't stalling, all you have to do is watch any Kyle Dake match in freestyle to know that is how he works. You never have to worry about Taylor being aggressive and pushing the action, but you do with Kyle. Same thing with J'den. Only J'den has a secret weapon.
Its crazy to think that David is such a dominate wrestler and no matter what he could never crack the kyle dake code. Even when they were both at 86 kg and Taylor obviously was more comfortable at the weight he just couldn't pull it off.
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...
Can’t believe I saw this as a kid on tv when I started my wrestling journey💯
Most anticipated match of my generation.
You guys are both like the most amazing athletes and amazing wrestlers. Love you guys man you guys are class athletes
I’m from Iran and I use to a wrestler; I really enjoy of this match; Kayle was work so hard with good experience and good everything; good for him.
One of the most entertaining matches I ever seen, kyle fake and David Taylor are one of the most influential and best wrestlers of all time.!!
I rooted for Taylor but really everyone watching this won. Wrestling at it's finest!
I love watching this match. Two of the best to ever do it just going to war with each other.
This to me is the all-star of all-star matches...Its unreal how badass these guys are.
Two legend
History in the making and Ik someone who go to Cornell
We need to see more of this true wrestling! This was an incredible match.
Why do all his family members and friends look like him 🤣
maybe cuz theyre related
Inbreeding
It's crazy how close these matches were. I saw Dake beat David at the Southern Scuffle here in CHATTANOOGA this same year, I believe..
It's crazy how they date each other now !
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.
Throwbacks. Great wrestling, that boy Kyle Dake is a savage tho
who would have thought that they would both compete in 2020 Olympic games, and Kyle would win a bronze medal and Taylor would win a gold medal. moral of the story is to not let failures stop you from dreaming big.
Who failed?
I looked/look up to Dake, ever since I was in high school
Imagine the fathers watching there sons go at eachother after all these years that’s crazy
There’s gonna be movies about these guys lol
Came to watch this right after the recent video of him against JB.
Absolutely love both those, dudes!!!!!
David just looks so classy
This is one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. It's fitting that Taylor was Dake's "final boss" if you will.
Taylor is the one with a Gold medal. Dake is a legend too though
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.
This was college wrestling rumble in the jungle moment, and it was great
I’d say Taylor bounced back pretty good from this 🥇
The battle of people that can’t beat Borroughs
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.
Dake fever again... ! What a story!!!!!
8:46 "riding time not a factor"... Dake: wins with riding time
Beast man
This guy is great! Dake! Dake! Dake!
One things forsure, they’ve trained together and they know each other
What a match !
Kyle Dake diehard but Love David’s push after his early takedown 1st period….setting the tone!!
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!
10:05 I love that Dake kept on throwing Taylor for every time he stands up then keeps pressure with a half Nelson.
I'm glad they call that clasping fingers.. STALLING!
Locked hands is just a point not a stall call
This ref had a history of being overly involved in a lot of matches. The stall calls here were an example of that
Khabib Nurmagomedov seems like he would fit in here, he does looks like a wrestler in UFC just smashing people like ragdolls
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.
Great match. Taylor let him make history huh?👍
Dake with the tornado headgear!! SHEESSSSSSSHHH
Taylor's shoes are awesome to say the least.
What is the name of the song at 1:20.
Taylor is now #1 in the world 🌎 never give up!
I dont understand how you can simultaneously have riding time and stalling? It's like, choose one?
Ils sont supers ces lutteurs bravos à ces lutteurs et au gagnant.
That first stall call was atrocious
Superman‼️‼️‼️
Dake is the greatest college wrestler of all time. In my opinion.
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
Say what ya want, Dake had to work for this title. Taylor did not give him an easy victory with this one
*Jordan Boroughs appears* Hold my beer
Put me back on the list 😂😂
Les Anderson praise to him
The first stall was odd idk what he was supposed to do.
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
I'm interested why at 4-4, the match didn't have an extra period?
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.
I’ve always admired how Cael clapped for Dake.
Forget jogging to the mat.... psssh, I'm walking for sure, need to save all the energy I can.
Song ?
Ladies and gentleman kyle DAKE!
Watched Taylor and Dake a lot in college. Taylor was definitely the better wrestler. None of us could ever figure out why he wouldn't wrestle Dake like he did everyone else. I think Taylor even went on to win an Olympic gold medal and Dake never even made it to the Olympics until Burroughs was finally injured.
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!
What scoring system were they looking at only on the knees because I counted 17 to 3
?
I want this sh!t 4eva mane
So they've been wrestling against each other since high school both in competition but also in private when there families would get together? That means Dake has probably been beating him for a long time.
Dake played against my coach in high school. It's incredible how he had a chance to face a amazing player
Wrestled*
5:20 is there a name for this position?
David Taylor had 3 ncaa titles at that time... what???
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
As a fight fan I have a fundamental understanding of wrestling and fighting in general, but I'm fairly new to wrestling specifically. I don't understand the stalling calls, it seemed like Dake was defending his top position, and doing it with spectacular slams. But what really stumped me was how the score ended up 4-4 at the end. Of course Dake won with that incredible mount defense, but how did the points go from 4-3 to 4-4? I don't get it honestly, was it the stalling call? It was obviously a bad call, but is that what gave Taylor a point in the end?
Yes two stalling calls gives your opponent a point. Which tied it 4-4 and then the riding time gave Dake the W
Why does Taylor wrestle like a beast against everyone but Dake? The world knows Taylor is a much better technician but he holds so much back against Dake. Sad!
If they both had a match now my money is on David
Those 2 stalling calls were BS. Very biased. Dake was not stalling at all.
I guess we can make warner films
08:41
Taylor doesn’t even look like the same person anymore. Hope he never 💉
What is the name of the intro song right before the whistle?
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😅
