There are levels to wrestling, and while Ben Askren once excelled in that realm, Jordan Burroughs showed him how time away from the sport can cost you.
The pair of multiple-time NCAA wrestling champions recently faced off at a Beat the Streets charity event at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden and unsurprisingly, it was Burroughs—a younger, active wrestler with an Olympic gold medal to his name—who came out victorious. It was a one-sided drubbing that saw Burroughs toss Askren all over the mat and at one point dump him into the crowd as Askren attempted to escape his aggressive opponent.
