Match of the Day: Relive the full Jordan Burroughs and David Taylor rivalry
by USA Wrestling
This Saturday, Jordan Burroughs and David Taylor square off for the first time since 2014. The highly anticipated bout is headlining a fantastic eleven-match card hosted by FloWrestling, which also features a clash between World champions Adeline Gray and Tamyra Mensah-Stock.
Burroughs, a 2012 Olympic champion, four-time World champion and three-time World bronze medalist, and Taylor, a 2018 World champion and United World Wrestling’s “Best Freestyle Wrestler of the Year”, have manned different weight classes since 2016. Taylor, who initially began his Senior-level career at 74 kg, the same weight class as Burroughs, now wrestles at 86 kg.
Will Burroughs, the living legend, be able to bump up a weight class and take out one of the most dominant wrestlers in the world? Tune in on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. EST and find out. Until then, enjoy the previous four meetings between JB and DT below:
