[@cucukachoo1]

These wrestling throwbacks are phenomenal. Keep em going!!!

[@goldenhawkalumni5341]

Thank you for posting my recommendation. Love this time of year. Next you should do Matt Gentry vs Jake P. In the 2004 NCAA Finals. Another great one.

Wrestlers today definitely don’t cut weight like they used to. These guys look huge for 141lb class

[@tableleg704]

The rules are only going to make American wrestling worse.

@jeffgrove6568who did he avoid??

[@adampelter9140]

​@jeffgrove6568 hang on... "he avoided guys his sophomore and junior year by going up a weight"? Explain that one to me. Who was he avoiding his Junior year when he went up to 157? The 149lb champ that year was Frank Molinaro, who he controlled the year before in the finals winning 8-1. So who was he running from?

This was the night the legend of Kyle Dake officially began.

[@quincyspielberger4366]

Dake was awesome in folkstyle. Too bad he was blocked by Burroughs year after year - he may have earned a gold medal at the Olympics if it weren't for Cox and Burroughs holding him down for so many years!

[@rycheek]

If they had challenges it would have been 2-2 going into 3rd period That was a reversal in first period SUPER QUICK 2 count on back points

[@AttackOnTitanlover2077]

Man, looking back now this guy is a athletic freak of nature

[@tannerwoods6114]

Jordan Leen with some awesome insight mid match. What a legend.

[@letsssgooo4618]

Whew that two count on the tilt was insanely fast and it didn’t even look like he had him tilted enough in the first place. Tough camera angle tho.

[@markcummings6856]

Sure was. One, One Thousand, Two, One Thousand. Ref totally gave that to him.

[@Traptinachangingmaze]

Man Montell Marion was a dark horse for sure. Shout out to him. I went to a wrestling camp in hs in 2010 n he was there lol he was arrogant but man he was a DOG

[@leewillow3460]

Great match. How about posting Pat Smith's first NCAA title?

[@tinyky2598]

Man this guy's good! I think he could go on to win four titles in four weight classes

[@bricksquad3208]

Marion definitely got that takedown in the first period and a reversal good job kd

[@Burrgametate]

Exactly

[@rupertx3]

Would have never got the reversal because of back points.

[@Deandrew-q3h]

7:50 maybe it's jus me but that looks like locked hands from dake

[@RapYouCanUnderstand]

And a takedown at the end from marion if we're being real lol

[@BenjaminShatetskyy]

He has an arm so legal lock

[@letsssgooo4618]

Announcer calls correctly early on that Dake be at least a couple weight classes up by the time he finishes his career. No idea how he made 141

[@Henriques157]

Thanks for posting wrestling again! Could we get some matches from 2017 and 18 if possible?

[@bobklein1665]

I was there with my old high school wrestling coach Ron Jesse James

[@xxr3lentlessdreamzxx572]

Had a summer camp that montell was apart of great guy

[@dylankellner6841]

howd montell do for the rest of his career? he looked pretty damn good out there against one of the best ever

[@Seuspesos]

Made it to the finals again vs Kellen Russel the next year in an overtime banger and lost, I also believe he lost to Kendrick maple in the semis one year when Kendrick Maple won it. He remained a top 3 guy from sophomore-senior year but never got his title. I Love Montell!

[@dylankellner6841]

@@Seuspesos watched some more matches and he has a really good neutral and very powerful hips. A shame he couldnt win it all.

[@asmbyjk4577]

Unbelievable it took him a decade to beat Jordan Burroughs and he did

Marion’s first takedown should have counted.

I Love Dake, BUT THE INSIDE TRIP BY MARION WHAT Happen? plus He was Sitting on top of Kyle Dake anyone wrestler know a take Down 😮

[@sheldonmelford6354]

the only reason I am watching this match I think dake is the best I ever seen Even could take out Sanderson Dake is that tough to me. but inside trip by Marion was a take down. dake will admit it it don't change the out come. Kyle's my Hero.

[@Bhrazy.]

I was 1 when this happened

[@jasondavidkasick7083]

Hahaha “he’ll be a 57 pounder” little did they know he was be the best in 4 different weight classes

Coach should of though the brick. I am Sorry

Back then there was no brick. It wasn’t until Logan Stieber had a controversial finals match with Jordan Oliver that they said “yeah maybe we should let coaches challenge in case the ref makes a terrible call.”

@@quincyspielberger4366 what are the cons of a wrestler choosing a wrestling school? What’s the better alternative? Not being a dick just honestly curious.

[@quincyspielberger4366]

@@rayfamily4893 Genuine question - the real truth is coaching, mentoring and support. A wrestling school not only has the highest level of coaching the community and alumni support the entire program. Wrestling is a BRUTAL sport. Warriors need family, friends, coaches, mentors, examples... alumni visits encourage, support, mentor and lead. A true wrestling school also has the depth needed provide the starters with top level guys to train with. A lesser school supports the wrestlers but lacks the depth needed to allow starters to wrestle high caliber team mates - it makes them better athletes.

[@larrygotter5609]

Funny game to play. Without looking at this video or any video featuring these two men, guess the race of each based on their names. Ill tell you my guess, I knew a ton of kyles growing up and they were all white. I knew one Montel growing up, which was Montel Williams and he was black. Names are hilarious.

[@bricksquad3208]

Montell isn’t better than kd but he won this match smh bad job refs

Dake was awesome in college! I wish Burroughs would have been in a different weight class. After 10 years Dake finally makes the cut and gets teched 11-0 in the second round of Tokyo. Dake peaked in 2013!

[@jdubs149]

Such a dumb thing to say about a man who just won a world title and takes third at the olympics

[@Jlundeen]

@@jdubs149 Yeah the guy is a three-time world champion and some people say he peaked in college because he has one loss in the past four years. His only real problem was being behind Burroughs for so many years and that's nothing against Dake.

Bullshit!!

[@lawsonransom8318]

How was that not 2 takedown, Marion 2 reversal Dake. 1 escape for Marion. 3-2 end of 1st. Dake gets 2 tilt early 2nd Dake gets 2 tilt again late 2nd 6-3 end of 2nd. Dake escape 1. 2 takedown Marion. 1 escape Dake. 8-5 Kyle Dake.
