And he pushed himself to the point where he almost defeated the World No. 1-ranked guy above him in weight David Taylor, but ended up losing 4-4 on criteria.
Burroughs, the king at 74 kg, decided to go up to challenge himself in November when he took on the No. 2 American at 86 kg Zahid Valencia and pulled off a 8-5 victory. He then proceeded to call out Taylor.
