Kyle Dake is sort of good at wrestling.

So much for Kyle Dake not scoring. Sheesh. 

35 seconds of scoring right there. For all those who said he looked lackluster. LOL

[treep2000 1,152]

I think Dake read the naysayers on this forum about how 74kg Dake is not the same as 79kg Dake.  Tomfoolery I tell you!  Tomfoolery!

Damn shame this cut is hurting Dake’s offense so much...

[Eagle26 606]

It’s amazing what some time to rehydrate can do for you. Dake looked pretty good there!

[Witherman 384]

Just like Spencer lee, no point in the second period

Another sluggish performance by Kyle Dake- it took him a full 35 seconds to tech Olympic and World Medalist Demirtas.  Clearly, this guy can't win at an Olympic Weight.

Well, he scored seven points in the first 16 seconds, and only four points in the next 19 seconds, so he was clearly gassing.

Guess the real Dake shows up for finals. Impressive!

Clearly ;-))))

Dake must have this forum pulled up on his phone.  I bet he read all of the comments and said, thanks coaches'.  Then went out and made those adjustments to point a lot of points on the board.

What’s up with Downey match.  Trying to watch on phone - seeing empty mat.

 I have always felt that Colon gets kind of forgotten about because he isn't flashy.  The guy has always had a great defense and if he gets on top he can score points in droves.  I think he has the best gut wrench of an American.  Including our greco guys.

 

Second best gut wrench in America.

I'm wondering the same thing. Was there a forfeit?

Same on desk top. Maybe one of them FF?

Beating Dee and Ree, the hydration brothers is an art form.

I see some lights... might be getting started.

Eh... lol...  I still think Colon's is much better.  Now if we are talking laces... those laces were nice.  Dake had that guy broke after the first 7 points. 

[TBar1977 4,600]

The guy Downey would have wrestled I think I recall him competing at Farrell, but I don't think he won a match.

Could not disagree more. But to each his own. Dake has always had a good gut. The laces were the surprise, not the gut. Colon couldn’t come close to turning Gilman with a full wrap and decent time to do so.
