IOWA CITY, Iowa – Japan started strong with three wins, but the United States powered for seven straight victories in the middle and upper weights to defeat Japan, 7-3 in Pool A competition at the Freestyle World Cup in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Included in the U.S. seven-match run were five straight technical falls to close out the match. The win pushes the USA to a 2-0 record in Pool A. A win over Georgia on Saturday morning would clinch a spot in the finals for Team USA.
It was a pair of stars who competed for the University of Nebraska who helped turn the momentum around for the United States.
At 70 kg, two-time World medalist James Green jumped to a 6-0 lead over Kirin Kinoshita of Japan, on a two-point takedown and a four-point takedown. Kinoshita rallied later in the match, but Green stayed in control for an 8-5 victory. Green wasn’t pleased with his overall performance.
“I have got to keep attacking. I have to keep my feet moving, stay engaged. I just didn’t wrestle well. He made some adjustments, and kept shooting to my right leg. I wasn’t sprawling right. Moving forward, I have got to get a good warm up and wrestle a complete match,” said Green.
Olympic and four-time World champion Jordan Burroughs, a two-time NCAA champ for the Huskers, ran his career World Cup record to 25-0 with a 7-1 win over 2017 World bronze medalist Sohsuke Takatani at 74 kg. Burroughs led 2-1 at the break, then pushed the pace, getting two takedowns and a stepout to close out the match.
The loud and appreciative crowd made a difference to Burroughs and his USA teammates.
“It’s insane here with the Hawkeye fans, and I love it. The atmosphere is amazing. It is the Mecca of Wrestling. It has been an amazing week here so far for us,” said Burroughs.
From that point, Team USA started rolling, finishing up with five straight technical falls, and outscoring the Japanese opponents, 53-2.
“(James Green and Jordan Burroughs) are great guys. They’re great leaders. They come out. We had some tough bouts early. We knew they were going to be tough. Japan has a strong team. They’re particularly strong in the light weights and they wrestled well. James and Jordan turned things around for us and the rest of the guys were able to feed off that energy and wrestled pretty well,” said National Freestyle Coach Bill Zadick.
The first big technical fall came from Kyle Dake at 79 kg, with a pair of huge throws back-to-back against 2014 World silver medalist Sohsuke Takatani, scoring a 10-0 technical fall. With a scoreless tie, from a chest lock position, Dake hit a five-point throw, and followed it with another four-point throw, making it 9-0. Japan challenged the call, but it was denied, giving the final point to Dake for the technical fall.
David Taylor scored the first takedown, but was taken down by Masao Matsusaka for an early 2-2 tie. Then, the Magic Man turned on the heat, getting a takedown and turn for a 6-2 lead. After making it 8-2, Taylor closed it out with a four-point takedown to win 12-2 at 86 kg..
“It is attitude and effort. It is the way that I train every single day. Back home at the M2 Training Center, I tell my kids about attitude and effort, and to wrestle from whistle to whistle. I am trying to be a good example. Trying to score and wrestling against the best wrestlers in the world is going to be tough. It is just going out there and provide myself the opportunities and put some points on the board,” said Taylor.
The USA did not allow a point in the final three matches, as Olympic and World medalist J’den Cox at 92 kg, Olympic champion and two-time World champion Kyle Snyder at 97 kg and 2017 World bronze medalist Nick Gwiazdowski at 120 kg combined to beat their Japanese opponents 31-0.
Cox got his first point on a shot clock violation against Takashi Ishaguro, then got a takedown and three-turns for a 9-0 lead. After converting a low single leg, Cox won 11-0.
Snyder was able to take down Taira Sonada multiple times to secure a 10-0 technical fall, then Gwiazdowski finished off the win with another 10-0 technical fall over Noboyushi Arakida.
Japan’s fast start, which featured three straight decisions in the light weights, had the pro-USA crowd a little bit nervous.
In the battle of 2017 World finalists at 57 kg/125.5 lbs., World champion Yuki Takahashi of Japan edged World silver medalist Thomas Gilman, 4-1. Gilman received a first-o
Japan won the next match in a controversial manner. 2017 U.S. Open champion Kendric Maple of the USA appeared to score a last second takedown over 2018 Asian runner-up Kazuya Koyanagi, giving Maple a 4-2 win. Japan challenged the call, and the jury agreed with Japan, saying the score occurred after the end of the period. The tiebreaker went to Koyangi.
In an unexpected upset at 65 kg, Takuto Otaguro of Japan took an early 8-0 lead over 2016 World champion Logan Stieber, and held off a Stieber rally to secure a 10-5 win. At the time, Japan was leading 3-0 on the scoreboard and had a 9-3 lead on classification points.
But then, Team USA got rolling and never looked back.
In Pool A, the USA has the only 2-0 record. Japan and Georgia are at 1-1 records and India dropped to 0-2.
Over in Pool B, Azerbaijan is 2-0, with wins over Kazakhstan and Cuba. Next is Cuba and Mongolia with 1-1 records, with Kazakhstan at 0-2.
The final pool matches are set for Sunday morning at the 10:00 a.m. session. The fifth and seventh place matches are at 12:30 p.m., with the bronze medal bout at 2:15 p.m. and the gold medal bout at 4:00 p.m. CT
