Too bad Spencer lee didn't suck it up and show some class like Taylor. That's what champions do
Taylor doesn’t even look like the same person anymore. Hope he never 💉
That was the worst stalling call I’ve ever seen. Ref was trash
I rooted for Taylor but really everyone watching this won. Wrestling at it's finest!
Les Anderson praise to him
Theres no way this was a decade ago. 🧓🏽
I’ve always admired how Cael clapped for Dake.
Those 2 stalling calls were BS. Very biased. Dake was not stalling at all.
This to me is the all-star of all-star matches…Its unreal how badass these guys are.
2 future Olympic medalists going head to head
If there’s 3 seconds left on the clock and I’m down I’m shooting off the whistle
This is one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. It's fitting that Taylor was Dake's "final boss" if you will.
Ils sont supers ces lutteurs bravos à ces lutteurs et au gagnant.
David Taylor should have won but he's an Olympic champ
5:20 is there a name for this position?
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.
I looked/look up to Dake, ever since I was in high school
David Taylor was a much better wrestler. Kyle Dake gained weight to avoid specific wrestlers. We studied how he beat Taylor but nobody watching thought Taylor wrestled as hard against Dake as he did against other wrestlers.
Taylor is and always was the better wrestler. He is a technician that for unknown reasons wrestled Dake's match every time. If the match comes down to strength and conditioning Dake has an excellent chance. If the match comes down to technique and speed Dake has no chance. We studied these videos in college and the general consensus was Taylor should have won. He just doesn't wrestle Dake as hard as he does everyone else. The rue measure is the Olympics. Only 6 weight classes – no ducking the talent.
