As a former boxer and kickboxer, I must say the danger a wrestler brings to a fight can NEVER be overestimated. These fuckers are seriously dangerous. Their strength, aggression, conditioning, and skillsets are formidable.
I met him. Hes such a nice guy and has such love for his fans, he had no problem taking pictures and signing stuff. He deserves his praises and his medals
Shockingly bad commentary! I know the British don't have a strong wrestling tradition, but there must be a former athlete or coach or something - someone with more than a casual acquaintance with the sport - who could provide a little insight into the match. "Another good move from Burroughs" doesn't really cut it.
+Brendan Keller If someone who doesn't know much about wrestling is watching, I don't know if they could even understand the terminology. And if they do, than commentaries are redundant anyway. I'd like to see a sport event without a commentator just to see if it would be as interesting. Probably not though.
+Brendan Keller you are 100% right, but that's network TV in this day and age. They get their grimey mits on everything and get all the advertising benefits. We can name 20 plus commentators and wrestling fanatics that would do a great job. But not as long as NBC is doing the coverage. What a joke. But the wrestling is what's important here I suppose
Dudes form and style looked phenomenal. This guy really knows how to grapple well. I wish I took wrestling in high school. The shape this guy is in is insane.
Fun fact: I'm the 671st like and 671 is the area code of Guam, where I used to reside and also have some roots. Prior to that, this comment had 670 likes, the area code of Saipan, where I grew up and now reside again 😆
Everytime I view this, it warms my heart. Jordan worked hard and is definitely a true champion. May God continue to strengthen him and bless him with favor. 💜
I just watched a couple recent matches of Burroughs then came here and watched this. I think he is now even better "skill wise" then he was here. His hunger is back and I think he can be around for 2020. I hope so.
Why do none of the announcers for wrestling have any idea what they are talking about? The sick double with beautiful elevation change at 5'47, "And this is a GOOD MOVE! :)" For Christ's sake
They were already pushing to have wrestling eliminated from the Olympic's so they found the most ignorant, drawl announcers possible to further decrease interest in it.
+RNTcomeback I guess if you know what they were doing you could have easily watched this with the sound muted. :) So I don't get your frustration with the commentator. I didn't even listen to the guy because it's totally redundant.
watching this in 2021 and i still get teared up seeing how excited jordan was. wrestling, and sports in general are such a beautiful thing. it’s so much more than just the physical body doing actions.
world class match. Goudarzi some sweet momentum control early on, but Burroughs is the poster child for timing, aggression and staying with the attack.
The commentator actually wasn't talking about the collar tie, he was referring to their other hands where they interlocked fingers which is not allowed in freestyle as little action occurs in that position. It is confusing though, because interlocking fingers is legal in folkstyle. Also, if you watch their hands at 1:30, the referee swats their hands to remove the lock.
Jordan is a beast man I remember watching him in the Pac 10 at Cal State Fullerton winning with a crazy bull dog double. One of the nicest guys to after his match he talked to me and my teammates and had nothing but encouraging words to say. Thank you from keeping the Gold where it belongs
I grew up with Jordan, wrestled with him for about 5 years before I moved away. Was always one weight class above him but I could take him down sometimes
i love the sportsmanship here! At around 1:07 Goudarzi gives Burroughs a tap on the elbow which isn't much. but i think of it as he added a little bit more of a friendship, showing a little more respect for Burroughs. And at 6:37 you see Burroughs call off the flag for the lap of honor until AFTER he shook hands with the Iran coaches. Two great athletes showing great respect for each other and showing a great deal of sportsmanship which is why this is the greatest olympic sport in my opinion.
I often wonder what the ancient Greek Olympians would think about the super humans of today. And at the same time think of what can be in the future. How far will we go? What greatness will the human spirit take us to? Physically and technologically. It's is amazing time to be alive.
How that clumsy Iranian style has been so successful on the World-Level is just beyond me. Burroughs never in any danger, and really just used Goudarzi's own awkwardness against him.
Oh wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...you either know very little about wrestling or just the superficial stuff they show on TV or internet. If you ever wrestled you would know how much of a savage the other guy is. We are talking one split second misplacement of one foot by half a foot ahead or backwards and you get taken down...It is complete perfection from beginning to the end. Wrestling, at this level, is so technical that only real enthusiasts with, at least state wrestling experience and a lot of detailed knowledge, can appreciate and follow. IT IS LIKE ASKING WHY FIGHTERS DONT THROW 100 PUNCHES PER ROUND AGAINST FLOYD WHEN THEY DO IT EVERY OTHER FIGHT THEIR WHOLE CAREER AND EVEN AGAINST KO ARTISTS AND WIN EASY. AND FLOYD IS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS KO ABILITY SO WHY ARENT THEY THROWING...THERE IS NOTHING TO HIT!!!
@Perry - I was thinking the same thing. The quickness and ferocity with which Jordan lunged at his opponent reminded me of a cheetah attacking his prey. Awesome!
He's said a while back that he wanted to win 2 Olympic gold medals first and then go into UFC. So 2016 will probably be his last year of competing in wrestling unless he's changed his mind.
It starts with practice. When in practice, keep this in mind: practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Make sure you know what to do in any situation. During matches, ask someone to film you so you can see what you did right and wrong. Work out everyday, you will need strength and conditioning. I suggest running, pushups everyday. I'm glad to give more advice if you want some.
Burroughs looked a bit tired to me at first but than he somehow managed to explode in the right moment as he always does. Hell, his defense is as good as his attacks! Goudarzi on the other hand seemed hesitant the entire match until it was already too late. It was tense to watch even though the title said Burroughs was going to win.
To drop weight, I feel that running everyday is important. You need to get stronger without gaining to much muscle, so I would stay out of the weight rooms. A good workout i find involves a deck of cards. Shuffle the deck and draw a card. If you draw a diamond and heart, you do the number of sit ups (crunches or ect) the card tells you to (face cards are 10 and aces are 15). Clubs and spades represent pushups. I don't have much advice for eating, I would look up diets to tryout.
anyone else notice that burroughs wrestled all countries with red/white/blue flag color schemes and Goudarzi wrestled all countries with green/red/white color schemes and bar flags?

This announcer should go home.
this guy very good wrester respect from Iran
sam ramirez are you mixed with any sorta Hispanic? Just wondering cuz I have the same last name lol.
Hes literally the best
Agreed
@@victoraxelalonso4434 exactly what I was thinking! a Persian named "Ramirez"...??? lmao

Close, he's the aussie soccer commentator Les Murray, can spot that accent of his a mile away.
haha right when u said that he said that at the exact same time

Thumbs up if you're a wrestler...

here we are two years later with no olympics for him to compete at. crazy times
This commentator killed the match
Nothing can kill this match. This match is a fantastic match with complete silence.
@@FExprt agree
I forgot how much freestyle wrestling has changed over the years. I completely forgot a take down used to only be a point
Anyone here from Joe rogans podcast?
I was looking for this comment :)
@@bjojosimpson 🤣
Waiting for him to go to McDonald’s
Watching this after he lost this year. I felt so bad for him in the interview when he started to break down. I feel so happy for him in this though.
My favorite moment from the 2012 games was Jordan Burroughs, after winning the Gold Medal, tearing through the stands to hug his mother.
Great match but boring commentator
kap563 yeah.
Two strong, supremely quick and perfectly balanced athletes. Incredible athletic performance.
Why do none of the announcers for wrestling have any idea what they are talking about? The sick double with beautiful elevation change at 5'47, "And this is a GOOD MOVE! :)" For Christ's sake

They were already pushing to have wrestling eliminated from the Olympic's so they found the most ignorant, drawl announcers possible to further decrease interest in it.

I watched a documentary on Iran wrestling. It's amazing the sacrifices they make for the sport. All new respect for those guys.
He is the reason that I want to do this in high school
Screw high school do it in middle school
Lol my comment sparked so much awesomeness
do it, it will change your life for the better never to late to start!
pfft do it when your atoms are still floating around the universe
KnockFirePCGaming Any updates?
Borroughs is such an exceptional wrestler! Iran produces some an AMAZING wrestlers so, it makes his win all the more significant.
So proud of him! The guy looks super humble and appreciative got to respect him, he deserves the gold!!! Congrats!! USA USA!!!
watching this in 2021 and i still get teared up seeing how excited jordan was. wrestling, and sports in general are such a beautiful thing. it’s so much more than just the physical body doing actions.
HAVE FLO WRESTLING DO THE COMMENTARY 2016 OLYMPICS!!!
Please
I like the commentators for the 2016 Olympics
Great match! JB is great. I enjoyed the genuine happiness the coaches had.😊
Burroughs has such an aesthetic style. Always so cool to watch,
I love Jordan Burroughs. He's the guy who got me excited about freestyle. That's my dude!
The guy who is talking sounds like he doesn't even want to be there...
Kevin Yang I know right!
world class match. Goudarzi some sweet momentum control early on, but Burroughs is the poster child for timing, aggression and staying with the attack.
1:30 Lock into a stalemate? That's a freakin collar tie and defense. Can we get somebody who actually knows wrestling to commentate?

I'm from the future...Jordan Burroughs is the 🐐
You've restored my hope in this world.
ALL I SEE IS GOLD 🥇
You see that? Just a simple double leg took down an Olympian silver medalist. It may seem and be really simple, but it works on even the best
someone once said you can fend off a high c or a single easily, but get in on a good double, it's impossible to defend against
I met jordan at a nebraska vs illinois meet the other day.
Lucky
dude this announcer is hilarious!! he’s like a substitute teacher who doesn’t wanna be there
It's been my dream to go to the olympics since 11 years ago when I first started the sport. I'm going there someday #OlympicBound
Philly's Champion Go for it, I'll keep an eye out for you in Rio
Hows that going
How'd it go?
I grew up with Jordan, wrestled with him for about 5 years before I moved away. Was always one weight class above him but I could take him down sometimes
What a great moment for Burroughs. Fantastic!!!
Love Jordan from Iran

Well this is wrestling. Wrestling was invented by the Persians, not the Greeks.

because you never watched him that's why you have no clue!

are you kidding? Iran puts out beasts
if u guys think this is a good match u guys should watch Jordan burroughs vs kyle dake
Probably twice exciting, at least dake held a chance
Going to right after, mahalo
This was the first wrestling match and your comment led me to start watching wrestling and now I’m wrestling in high school
Amen Brother; I'll check it out.
@Perry - I was thinking the same thing. The quickness and ferocity with which Jordan lunged at his opponent reminded me of a cheetah attacking his prey. Awesome!
Jordan should of gave the UFC a try. I see him at middleweight gettin those takedowns with ease
He's said a while back that he wanted to win 2 Olympic gold medals first and then go into UFC. So 2016 will probably be his last year of competing in wrestling unless he's changed his mind.
My dad says that people do UFC when they have nothing else yo do, and Jordan is a phenomenal wrestler.
That first shot right off the whistle 🔥🔥
9 years after he wins Gold in 79 kilos in the world's, what a champion!!
Amazing moment. Yet feels like I’m waiting for Jim Nance to say “Hello Friends”
The opponent is a worthy wrestler as well. This was a great match and great wrestling was seen from both!
00:52
What does he put in his singlet ?
A rag. In case of bleeding. Required.
You can lift weights to get stronger and practice more to gain technique, but speed like Jordan's is just so rare and difficult to prepare for .
My coach wrestled Jordan back in his high school days in jersey
+Luis Merino you're famous!!

In the first double-leg..he was flying
I'll have to look for you guys on the next olympics :-D
Who's here after the ben askren match
why are the mats so loose
?
Joshua Howey idk
That's how Greco and freestyle Mats are
I love wrestling how its not just like america or another big country taking all the gold but countrys like iran can win also
Representing New Jersey Wrestling WORLDWIDE.
Y'all have badass wrestlers
Sadegh goudarzi, i love u💪
Burroughs is a legendary
This makes me proud to actually say im American...makes me even more proud to say that im a wrestler!
Imagine if all of the NFL football players chose wrestling instead of football...
yggiz06 ??
completely different sports bud
they'd get crushed, now imagine if someone like jordan burroughs did football.
Wrestling can help football players. Football doesn’t help much for wrestling.
Daniel King he’s saying that football has a ton of super athletic people that would have been great if they had wrestled
goat, one of the best
as I assume, the commentator is British and he doesn't like neither America nor Iran....lol
He isn't British. Well spoken New Zealander I'd guess.
Great job Jordan.
Jordan Van, 1 point takedown in Freestyle
That peace and friendship won't last long.
No headgear ? Crazy I didn’t know they do it like that
I’m probably the only person in the world that could stuff that double leg 😂
Having an Englishman do freestyle wrestling commentary is like having an American do cricket commentary.
They're both great wrestlers!
Burroughs looked a bit tired to me at first but than he somehow managed to explode in the right moment as he always does. Hell, his defense is as good as his attacks! Goudarzi on the other hand seemed hesitant the entire match until it was already too late. It was tense to watch even though the title said Burroughs was going to win.
5:48 the announcers don't know what they're talking about
where?
GREAT FINISH MOVEMENT
Lol the dude dressed as Captain America in the background
His double leg so rediculous he jus basically tackles u
The announcer sounds like he took 14 sleeping pills and is in a battle to stay awake
Awesome win by Burroughs
I want to wrestle for the olympics sooooo bad since i started the sport it has been my dream any advice?
That singlet clean af
8:34 dude with no shirt on
I can't imagine what that must feel like!!🤼♂️🏅🏅🇺🇸🇺🇸
I believe I saw it on a facebook from usa wrestling. could be mistaken though
JB is a master of double led ..
@jordan van this is freestyle not folkstyle
JB like a Champ! Bam!
Beat the streets wrestling works! Support them America
Gold medal matches are about not losing not about winning
MERICA!!!

Who came here to check Jordan out from Joe Rogan's experience?
Unbelievable that mark manning coached Jordan Burroughs from a low level freshmen with little promise all the way to Olympic gold
anyone else notice that burroughs wrestled all countries with red/white/blue flag color schemes and Goudarzi wrestled all countries with green/red/white color schemes and bar flags?
