I want to make it a habit over shaking hands. Seeing world class athletes practice it, may help. Idk though, I've always found it one of the most respectful greetings, maybe the fist bump is more respectful now with all that's going on.
Man, DT didn't seem to ever put himself into a bad position during that entire match. Momentarily it looked like a bad position on the Cuban's first major shot, but DT ended up getting the TD himself. And, that's a good opponent he's going up against.
They do cut a bit, but not like MMA. Wrestling used to be like that, though. My era was probably the last to have widespread use of the old school water cutting techniques. There's no question that some still do it, but these newer era guys are 24/7, 365 machines. I doubt they're cutting more than a few pounds to make weight. They compete far too often and weigh in too often to be doing huge water cuts all the time. They'd dry out and not be able to compete at this level year round. In the old days dudes had a 24 hour weigh in so water cutting was huge. Hope that helps. Huge MMA fan, btw.
Basically what Jimmy said. They cut but not as much as MMA fighters. Wrestlers have to compete more often and have shorter time spans between weight in and competition time.
@@VanishedPNW Kyle Dake has a lot of new age type drills, exercises, and diets that I have found on YT. David Taylor and him have been pretty much lifelong rivals and friends, so it's hard to talk about one without the other, but I think Kyle Dake is definitely on to something with his adapted routine.
Funny how they avoid handshaking, then they grab each other all over the place. In wrestling, the eminent contact sport, avoiding handshake just seems stupid
Wtf is with the fist bump they've been sweating all over each other for 6 minutes? 😂
Process over purpose at its finest.
Just shake hands you've been hugged up for 6 minutes. What's a hand shake?😂
Robert Prado same comment
Lmaooo there's no way they just wrestled and then fist bumped 😂 that supposed to stop Corona? I'm dead lmao
I had the exact same thought. LOL
Under The Canopy It’s symbolic my friend. For the general public watching at home.

Pretty silly.
That makes more sense! I was baffled at first lmao. Thanks all 👍
He's baaaaaaack
I like how they first bump for safety.... before wrestling 😂
I really hope these guys don’t get sick. Taylor is one of my favorite wrestler
Stronger than before! Well done!
The Cuban corner never stopped yelling 🙄
James Lichtenberger rumor has it. The Cuban corner is still yelling.
James Lichtenberger yes. It was anoying to my ear too

Can't be Taylor, didn't lose a contact lens.
I don't know why I thought Taylor quit. Cool to see him wrestle still.
rob F knee injury
I like how Taylor is always the first the the center to get it on. Never backs down from scoring a point
David taylor is a bad bad man! Good to see him back getting into form again.
No shaking hands allowed just body grinder. 😂🤣😂
DT looks huge right now. a scary scary sight
Glàd to see David back. Looking gold medal ish.

Glad to see him back
Great job David. Best of luck in the future cowboy.
Wow, I'm jealous. These guys get to wrestle, but most BJJ and Judo clubs are closed. Damn....
Jealous? My friend, these people are kind of putting themselves in unreasonable danger.
Still watching it though 😊
@@chcknpie04 I'm just staying that I'd like a normal life again with training and other liberties.
Torreblanca has been wrestling good too. I hope Taylor can avoid the injury bug and face the top european guys
Good match. Cuban is solid. DT got tired trying to move him. Good first look for his return.
the fist bumps instead of handshakes thats dope lmao
Great job Taylor!
USA baby!!
Taylor is sharp at this tournament ..
DT's a BEAST...
Is this their natural weight or they cut water weight like mma fighters do?
They cut

They cut for sure but not 20-30 pounds.
Hell yeah. Go DT.
Aye what kind of shoes does DT have?
Alex Mosqueda ScrapLife wrestling shoes

DT just might be lifting weights...
randall armstrong and consuming some peculiar substances
@@Rathbun222 false
@@Rathbun222 dude thats natural physique he wouldn't be allowed to wrestle if he wasnt
A little rusty, but the Magic Man is back!
actually, he wrestled torreblanca better here than he has in the past.
DT is money all day long. Good job, buddy!

Yes. They buy more toilet paper than we can use, given the amount of food we have
I feel sorry for the Cuban having to battle DT
Taylor dominated! 🇺🇸
🤜🏻🤛🏿 😂
Ref looks like Sylvester Stallone
