The Match of the Century is less than two days away, and it seems everyone has an opinion on who is going to win this epic matchup between two of the best in the sport. Judging by recent interviews and our recent Dake vs Taylor prediction contest, I can tell you the wrestling community is giving Kyle Dake the slight edge at this point. I know who I think is going to win (Taylor, 5-2); you know who you think is going to win...But where do some of the big timers sit?
Flowrestling wanted to see where some high profile athletes and journalists stood on this epic Kyle Dake vs David Taylor matchup. We took to Twitter! We asked many in and around the wrestling community who they were taking. Here are Twitter responses from some of Flowrestling's favorite personalities:
Kid Dynamite All Day
NCAA Champion, Darion Caldwell, is picking Dake. Shawn Bunch says ditto.
Reece Humphrey ran into KD back in the day. He weighs in.
UFC superstar and NCAA Champion at OSU, Mark Munoz, is putting his $$$ on Dake. Fellow UFC stud, Yves Edwards, is going Dake as well.
*Check out this next twitter interaction: 1st we have the always awesome, Olympian Jake Herbert, getting back to us with his Dake pick...AND THEN we get Kid Dynamite himself chiming in with the #. Boomshakalaka! The Kid's excited. No doubt about it.
Taylor Gang or Die!
Izzy Martinez has got nothing but faith in the Magic Man.
My main man, Willie Saylor, has been picking David Taylor since day 1. Easy choice for him.
Former UFC wizard and current MMA analyst, Kenny Florian, is a big time wrestling enthusiast. He's going David Taylor.
*It was great to see Dake reply to Herbert. David Taylor's not afraid to hop on Twitter either. After high school freshman phenom, Mark Hall, throws Taylor some love, the Magic Man shows his appreciation with the retweet.
......Daylor
Easy cop out? Hmmm...maybe. Well, for what it's worth, our favorite cat from Ohio, Zeb Miller, goes with the safe pick. 3x New Jersey State Champ, Anthony Ashnault, goes Daylor too.
