74 Semi - Kyle Dake (TMWC) vs. Isaiah Martinez (TMWC)

[@sanitary103]

dake is an animal. never thought I'd see anyone toss Isaiah like that.

[@Saltydogg909]

like a dirty shirt lol

[@bronsonmaele9006]

Nolf scores a 4 on him at the end of the match

[@craigfawcett5745]

Watch him wrestle cenzo twice in the ncaas. Hes known for getting thrown

[@KingKongDill]

Imar : Dad can we wrestle right now? Kyle: Sure son let’s do it!!

[@hollisterAE05]

Never thought I'd see this

[@rizzotnr]

Dake has the strength, balance and leverage together that is unmatched!

[@terrancesimpson5900]

dake moves completely different against burroughs so much more aggression when those 2 wrestle

[@s1lvrinferno]

Right he does, Burroughs is one of the only wrestlers that can actually take it to Dake so he really has to step his game up there.

[@REZZExotic1V1ME]

Burroughs is always changing his body position and staying away from ties because if Kyle gets a good underhook it can be amazing . Both amazing wrestlers

[@purpleguy22323223533]

Martinez looked like a kid trying to wrestle his dad

[@Fullsendfilosophy]

You know imar is a legit upper body threat until you see Dake

[@c1o6128]

Dake was not trying that second period. He was trying his life to just defend Imar. This weight just keeps getting more and more interesting.

[@daw162]

Dake is tough with a lead. Taylor can't even shoot on him, only burroughs. This weight is getting crowded, and if Hall comes out and stays at 74, it'll get even more crowded (burroughs will probably be done by then). I haven't been following the new weight classes - hopefully there will be a little more between 65 and 86.

[@REZZExotic1V1ME]

David W I know so many studs are in the weight class

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

What was this, 2016 US Open?

[@TheNINDLE]

No shit he was up 6

[@abbeykroeter2352]

He was "not trying" or "trying his life"? You're right about the first part. He looked a bit tired and Imar is always dangerous, so Dake put it on defense cruise but had to be careful. With time Imar could be the one beating everyone. All these guys around this weight are like iron.

[@robertmccormick4888]

Dake won convincingly but he looked like he was gonna have a stroke at the end there

[@lukeowens5901]

Seeing Isaiah get slammed was just great.

[@imjsanyumad3432]

probably because you are a piece of shit

[@Cellkist]

@@imjsanyumad3432 woah buddy

[@danielcervantes4576]

IMJSANYU mad had a duel against Isaiah’s team back in hs and he’s actually a prick lol

[@nitrox1613]

@@danielcervantes4576 in what way?

[@telmnamm7549]

"Imar" is such a great nickname.

[@Angellopez-rg2ys]

Damn he gooned em

[@terryschake8152]

Take away Imars left underhook and you got him. It’s all he has!

[@atmosrepair]

If only Ness was able to do that :(

[@dougjohnson5487]

Too bad these guys have to wear those very confining singlets. Low cut singlets or lycra shorts would add so much more to wrestling.

[@znhait]

Martinez hit his biggest heights early in his college career. After beating Nolf, the best wrestler he faced in college, should have won four NCAA titles. Instead, he gets done by the same move twice by the same opponent. On the other hand, Dake continually got better as a wrestler. He lost four matches during his first two seasons, and he jumped 2-3 more levels in his junior and senior seasons, culminating in the win against David Taylor in the 2013 NCAA final.

[@danarmando537]

Dake tossed Jughead like a salad.

[@athletic_joseph1236]

If Martinez stayed at 157. He would off still been good

[@ernestomoleno6684]

When a two timer NCAA meets a 4 timer NCAA

[@matthewhorizon6050]

Not relevant at all. Using credentials math is a flawed thinning. What about JB? He "only" won 2 nationals?

[@chopstyx141]

So what do you have to say about JB

[@znhait]

Just so you know, your comment could be taken to be Dake vs JB, and we know the story to that. With Dake, he's much more of a fighter than Martinez who is mentally weak.

[@TrapperTVFoss]

Shouldn’t that slam have been a touch pin?

[@atmosrepair]

Absolutely! It totally was a touch fall! Ref botched that call

[@daw162]

In this match, we see the talker vs. the doer.

[@cheesecake4292]

David W not really

[@daw162]

Martinez is good, but he's never going to be Dake/Cael/Jordan/Steiber good. He doesn't have the horsepower or the gas tank, and the heavy hands and slapping that work in college won't work in international.

[@SuperBeast1994]

True. Even though he only lost one match on the finals he wasn't dominating his oponnents as much as ge was at 157. At 157 he was a monster and was bigger and stronger than everyone in the weight class. He definitely should go back down to 157

[@cathycartee4180]

Would like to see Dake pin Martinez.

[@olliewest6751]

Cathy Cartee would never happen 😂

[@atmosrepair]

That was totally a touch fall right there!

[@TheTerryE]

That was power vs power.

[@antoniomontgomery859]

They have turned freestyle wrestling into sumo wrestling. All bout the push out now. Crazy

[@Rcook422]

There's always been a push out rule

[@lasvegasloner4621]

Not sure about this, but I recall the five or six freestyle matches I had back in the 90's, never scoring a point for a wrestler pushing the other out. It's been a long time and I was definitely more into foikstyle so I'm prepared to be wrong, but I thought the pushout rule was added just in the last 20 years or less.

[@ElearningDigest]

Same here. I wrestled in the 80s and 90s and there was never a pushout rule then. It's a fairly recent addition to freestyle.

[@atmosrepair]

Lol there was only 2 push outs here, hardly all it was about. How about that slam!? That should have been a touch fall

[@teatimedtm2879]

Imar really tried to throw him 😂😂

[@briankou4752]

Dake jumped out ahead with that nasty slam. But IMAR has improved greatly since this match, I see Imar v. Dake II for Olympic Trials, then winner off to JB.

[@ythniafps4856]

we just gonna ignore one direction in the background lmaoooo

[@thegrindpodcastwithdanielr3781]

Curious to see IMar at the trials. I think he's the dark horse

[@broheme8922]

International scoring is horrible, with the multiple leg lock roll the most ridiculous of all.

[@dheins57]

Dake looked exhausted

[@zenmar2415]

Imar doesnt look like he belongs in that weight.

[@gamingreaction5730]

zenmar that’s just because Kyle threw him around

[@user-cq4yo9qt3j]

Не привыкать размазывать по ковру брюнетов.

[@WurstStarburst]

It's at 2:23

[@570_Outdoors]

Why are they playing one direction

[@jimbob0592]

I want to see Isaiah in MMA. Hes a terrific wrestler, but his style is practically already incorporates clinch boxing. He would be a world champion if he could factor in kicks.

[@matthewhorizon6050]

Kicks aren't necessary.

[@Quecuhzoo]

Matthew Horizon no, but they sure as hell help

[@atmosrepair]

@@matthewhorizon6050 kicks are super necessary! Especially the low calf kick, but I suppose one could point to Khabib for a solid style for wrestlers to implement. He doesnt need kicks.

[@matthewhorizon6050]

@@Quecuhzoo I 100% don't disagree. My only point is that guys can win without throwing kicks. We all know what leg kicks can do. They are brutal, but it doesn't matter is youre Khabib and plenty others

[@cathycartee4180]

Martinez doesn't have the skill to handle guys who are as strong as he is or stronger.

[@omgitsjoetime]

I got the same shoes as dake

[@Obesepelican]

Does anyone understand how he got 6 points there? I thought 3 is the most you can be awarded

[@natemorris1784]

Callum Hening you can get 4 if you go feet to back through the air which is what he did then he got 2 for exposure

[@atmosrepair]

Yep 4 for the throw (which should have been a touchfall) 2 on the gut wrench and then I think they gave him 1 on the gut wrench back the other way because Martinez went hand to hand rolling through.

[@greatstate58]

dake somehow avoids getting hit with passivity calls he should've got one in the 2nd period.

[@ariennemoore9023]

Like if wrestle

[@blakeharris9705]

Ballsy prediction: Imar beats Dake in the Olympic trials (whenever that happens)

[@steve9007]

isaiah has a habit of being 2nd best unfortunately. another life isnt fair analogy i reckon

[@mumbras]

Dake whines like a spoiled brat every match. I wouldn't want my wrestlers to act like that. Poor example.

[@mumbras]

Just like Marco Antonio Barrera, true nature shows up when they start to lose, its not pretty. David Taylor embarrassed himself too.

[@icarus8471]

Don't see it here. And in this style you have to work the officials. The way it is scored/called and the way it is formated can be very frustrating. Ask David Taylor. Or the Mongolians. :)

[@matthewlee8618]

lol watch the Burroughs interview he even says he works the official and lies/whines about things that aren't even happening in the match just to get his way

[@hupgthupgt-tb7cs]

Oh yes. Because Isaiah Martinez isn't a crybaby every match (usually actually when he wins.) Kyle Dake actually gave him something to cry about.

[@ryanschepers7626]

Jing's Hall your right he wines so much

[@user-ob1xb6ex1r]

What stupid wrestling. Just power, without technique. Thats why Dagestan wrestling is better

[@accridelich7369]

Imar is a coward. Would have been better to get pinned being aggressive.

[@superma74]

this looks more like sumo

[@hupgthupgt-tb7cs]

You're done, Isaiah. Go cry in the corner.

[@hupgthupgt-tb7cs]

Lol. *You're?

[@TYLERtheMAGGOT1]

dude shut your fucking mouth. YOu don't know what you're talking about. Go bitch behind your computer screen

[@hupgthupgt-tb7cs]

LOL. I know he's a whiny little crybaby, although usually when he wins.
