157lbs Jordan Leen-Cornell vs. Jordan Burroughs-Nebraska

One of the best matches on this site, and its amazing to see the evolution of Jordan Burroughs into the wrestler he is today!

Leen's top is great would have rode without the super early start

Leen was a good wrestler but Burroughs just too much for him. Both guys had great careers

well guys lets look at this:

Caution Missed - can you honestly say that wasn't a caution?
Leen getting the riding point - One of the toughest riders in the last five years, not a stretch at all to see him ride out the period.
Leen not getting held down - at this point in time Burroughs is no force on top and Leen is excellent on bottom.
Burroughs not putting up that over 3 Takedowns - Leen wrestling wide open and trying to catch up from behind and Leen holding his ground in defense is completely different. Much tougher to score on someone when they aren't opening up.
Sure I am a Cornell fan but also a big Burroughs fan, love his style and his attitude. I never said Leen would win 6-2, but 8-6 or 8-7 is very realistic. My post wasn't knocking Burroughs in the least - just wish the refs would have made the right call. Can you disagree to the above points? I would love to hear why not.

I did read the post and nowhere does it say anything even close to what you are now claiming, in terms of a 8-6 or 8-7 win. Perhaps if I were a mind reader I could have better understood your post, which left a lot to be desired.

Also: " I don't think burroughs could put on that takedown clinic in one period" But now we are to assume he can get two takedowns and lose 8-6 or 8-7. If he can get two TDs in 1 period, it would be very reasonable to assume he could get that 3rd TD as well.
It would seem you are unaware of the "bigred" colored glasses you are viewing this match with. Every hypothetical you claim should have happened seems to fall in favor of Leen. Very legitimate indeed. lol

Burroughs is obviously a top wrestler in this video in 2008 but its amazing how much better he got every year... He developed a lot even from this match and he won the nationals this year... he's one of the few guys in NCAA who legitamately became better and more dominat every single year... very unique guy.

5:41 changed the whole match, the ref OBVIOUSLY missed the caution by burroughs. Leen is not easy to get away from and stood a fair chance at riding out the rest of the period - taking with him a 4-2 lead plus a riding time point. Burroughs does not hold down Leen in the third putting him up 6-2 with ride time. I don't think burroughs could put on that takedown clinic in one period. its a shame the ref didn't just own up to the mistake...

At 9:42 would the ref be required to call Burroughs for stalling? He isnt creating any action and is making contact and backing away. Obviously the big picture is that he is setting up Leen, but the new rule doesnt talk about the big picture. It gives very little room for interpretation.

Great Match!!

At 2:08 would that be stalling under the new rule by Jordan Leen?

6:22

EPIC MATCH

westle, you are completely wrong on all acounts. whatever you say should be stricken from the site. i wonder how well your tactics work compared to Leens. it seems to me like burroughs had his hands full. For someone to say that someone would win 10 out of 10 times after watching that match must be sta sta sta stupid

burroughs is such a this is the 5th match i have watched of him and all he does is runaway when he gets any kind of a lead..... In that match he for sure fled the mat.....Good wrestler no doubt just cant finish a match like a man...
