That these 2 guys would both be Olympic team members. Horrible video but a good match. 

 

 

 

Here's a good slideshow of Burroughs and Molinaro

That was a great match!  Even better because I didn't know the outcome until the end.  Thanks for sharing.

[PhiferFuqua 187]

They've both spent some time in the weight room since then

...awesome!!! thanks for putting that on here!!! unreal....

I'd like to take this moment to point out something that many people forget but was made very evident in looking at that match... Burroughs had a similar path through his career as Dake. Burroughs also started his career at Nebraska wrestling 141 before moving up through the ranks to end at 165.

 

Don't fight growing, kids. Move up weights sooner rather than later.

Haha.  Bold!

[Gantry 1,872]

You know that Aeron Hill and David Greenwald are telling EVERYBODY they come in contact with that they beat Jordan Burroughs.

I would. Even if it was in thumb wrestling.

A lot of guys at this level are on PEDs.  I don't think these 2 are but i suspect some of the others (lile those who have moved up weights to avoid Burroughs)  might be. 

[JasonBryant 2,096]

I'd love to find my old InterMat HS rankings from that year. Curious as to where I had either of them. I know Molinaro was pretty high. 

[Alwayswrestling 227]

Burroughs record as a true freshman was close to .500 crazy improvement was made!  ScarletKnight that is a bush league statement that you made inferring that Dake/Taylor are on PED"s.

[ironmonkey 157]

Thanks for posting the link!

I believe Greenwald is who Burroughs defeated in the State finals their senior year. I'm sure Mr. Greenwald would would trade the HNO victory for the one in AC.
