135lbs David Taylor St Paris Graham-OH vs. Joe Waltco N Allegenny-PA

He is a great wrestler, but I agree, as good as he is, to be the next Cael he has to make it rain big time.

ehh, maybe the next Cyler Sanderson, but not Cael.

I think he was like only the 6th guy to win 3, and no-one thought he could win 4 either. I have seen him since he was young and he steps it up at every level. His skills are unreal and I love watching him every time.

4x ironman champ, (which has never been done before), 4x ohio state champ, wrestles up a weight class and beats Palmer (who is also ranked #1 at 140), phenomenal on top, and one hell of a scrambler. when you mix that, and the one of the world's top wrestlers in the same room, you'd better expect to see some great results in college

david taylor is a freak - but he is certainly not the next cael sanderson. If he hopes to win 4 titles he has a long long way to go.

david taylor is the next cael sanderson

Tayor also beat 4X state champ Collin Palmer in 2009 after moving up from 135 to 140 for that one match. Palmer is better than that, but he was winded and not in good wrestling condition for the match. After a quick take down by Palmer, Taylor kind of methodically picked him apart and got some back points to win 8-3. A great match would have had him pitted against Logan Stieber at 130 after the state finals - if Taylor could have cut to that weight. Stieber's only loss in HS was to Taylor when Stieber was a freshman. Taylor never wrestled Grijales, but wanted to at the nationals. That match will likely never happen in college.

Wow, I didn't know the Welsh Ironman tournament was this past weekend, holy smokes. I also David Taylor graduated, what the heck is going on?

waltko is good or wouldnt be in ironman finals... taylor is not human lol.

Waltko seemed like he was on a mission at PIAA when he dropped to 130... that State Championship was no fluke. If he is wrestling 125 in college he should be tough! Where did he end up going?

pretty funny how wtf asked how waltko is 2nd best in the nation but now waltkp is gonna be a 25lber in college and taylors gonna be a 57lber. big difference and taylor was big for 135 and waltko was small for 135.

its spelled Waltko

Not just yet. Jenkins would wax Taylor right now.

jenkins vs taylor in room should be fun to watch

My newborn son is 1 month old now, his name is David Taylor -last name-.

You're my insperation and I want my son to wrestle just like you.
Good luck at Penn State, I know Cael and the other Sanderson family members will turn you into a 4 time NCAA champion. I cant wait to watch you. Don't met me down.

taylor looks pretty big here doesnt look like a 12 pounder

also waltko ended up at 30

How can waltco be second in the nation eric must be 2nd idiot. I don't believe waltco is ranked in the nation bcuz he got his ass kicked in by a 112 pounder i know eric can kick David's ass I'm willing to bet on it.

DAVID TAYLOR UR MY HERO

whoever thinks waltko sucks is ed hes 2nd in the nation and taylor is just insane

waltkos pretty tough

3x state qualifier
2x state place winner
2x ironman placer
3x fargo placer
not bad, just not taylor good

waltkos horrible how did he make it to the finals?

Truth, your wrong joe waltko is a very good wrestler, look for him to win states in PA this year

the guy hes wrestling isnt even that good i mean yes it is the ironman finals but nationally unranked kinda seems like a weak weight to me

coach jordan doesnt even coach david taylor. he's more into the other matches

this taylor kid ever wrestle against garajels or oliver?

Not only did he win...
He dominated!!!
Undisputed greatest pound for pound Ironman Wrestler!!!

3:24 gets my vote for dirtiest takedown of the week.....soo slick

3:24

Gratz on x4 ironman champ, David.
