Six-time Olympic and World Champion Jordan Burroughs and six-time World Teamer and two-time Medalist James Green competed for Team USA at the Bout at the Ballpark on Feb. 12.
After Team Iran dropped out of the dual, Team USA faced a last-minute team made up of international competition. The matches weren’t all that competitive, but you have to hand it to the guys that competed on short notice.
James hit the mat first at 70 kg and made short work of Canada’s Dillon Williams, downing him 10-0 by technical superiority in the first period.
Jordan Burroughs took the mat shortly after at 79 kg against Colombia’s Nestor Taffur who previously wrestled at Boston University.
