This is a really interesting match up.. who do you guys think would win?

2009 JB was pretty nasty. Majored Gillespie and housed Poeta who beat returning champ Leen. Dake beat Derek St. John? Not even as dominant as Burroughs was against less credentialed field. I got Burroughs.

Burroughs Burroughs and Burroughs again.

[WhippetGrappler]

No Comparison Burroughs

[r.payton@att.net]

Burroughs . If JB can penetrate Howe's defense he'd rip through Dake's .

[Snackem]

Agreed, Burroughs > Howe > Dake

[quinn14]

If your talking folkstyle then I would say Burroughs>Dake>Howe. In freestyle I would say Burroughs>Howe>Dake.

ya i was meaning for this to be a folkstyle discussion. burroughs would just break everyone in freestyle lol. i just thought since burroughs had such great offense on his feet and dake has such good d it would just be a really good contrast of styles. i mean dake can ride like crazy but could he ride someone like jb? could he defend that blast double and reshoot to score? would burroughs shut him down early and possbily beat him by 5+ points? would dake possibly get a point or two a head and somehow ride it out? its elite offense vs elite defense. thats how i look at it.

It's elite offense v. Good defense. Dakes not impregnable. Kyle has never faced anyone with even a comparable offensive skill set.

Could he ride him? I don't know. I don't know if JB would even fool with going down.
