67-0! Burroughs’ streak is longest in U.S. history
By Craig Sesker It all started with a 36-second period fall over Bobby Nash in the opening round of the 2011 U.S. Open in Cleveland.
The last five victories, at the 2013 World Championships, came less than a month after he suffered a broken ankle.
In between, there have been wins over 10 different Russians, including two over two-time World champion Denis Tsargush. He’s
also defeated Olympic silver and bronze medalists and World silver and bronze medalists.
He owns wins over wrestlers from 22 different countries en route to capturing two World titles and an Olympic gold medal at 74 kg/163 lbs.
The 67-match international winning streak of the remarkable Jordan Burroughs, the longest in American history, is definitely a thing of beauty.
Burroughs owns freestyle wins over wrestlers from virtually every corner of the planet, including victories over athletes from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. He has earned wins over six NCAA champions, including two
Hodge Trophy winners, at the Senior level. Burroughs has won with the old rules and he’s won with the new international rules which were implemented by FILA mid- way through 2013. He’s won matches in New York City and Los Angeles while also prevailing in places like London, Istanbul, Budapest, Havana, Minsk, Baku and Tehran.
He’s only 25, but he’s won titles in 11 different countries. THE STREAK: BURROUGHS’ RECORD 2011 – 20-0
