Belaglazov also lost to Gene Mills, in the 70's not sure of the year!

This guy who made this comment almost beat randy Lewis in the seventies Tom husted

A little light in the rafters Tom

Weird I know the guy that made this comment Tom husted he beat out a freind of mine at Wisconsin to make the team

I saw this match in person I was a Dan gable fanatic as a young man so much that I landed a job as a assistant coach in Brookfield east because the coach said I walked like Dan gable who I only met once in my life in Las Vegas

Ya just a little light in the gym Tom right Scotty grudinski was awesome the best wrestler that never made it big that guy could do triple flips on a trampoline

Get back on this tube dude that’s so weird i was friends with a lot of guys in Madison you are from new jersey

That’s really weird that your name pops up and dint you beat randy lewis once or close

I was friends with Scott and Kleven put you in ahead of Scott Scott should of been Olympic champ the guy was incredible

Ya i read that forty years ago he probably The jap was the best ever not getting scored on and a friend of mine was from Japan and he knew who he was very few people know this great comment oh Tom I wrestled with Scott grudinski in college you took his spot at Wisconsin and did not frost lead you to Christ at the gym

I was there Madison WI 1975

It’s weird I wrestled Andy in high school at a freestyle meet and lost 7 to 0 but I was the only guy he did not throw he was super strong like steel and at the time i said this guy will go all the way meaning the Olympics and he was the only wrestler I ever met that I said that in my mind believed that at the time then even weirder I moved to Oregon and met the hicks family and there son Dan hicks beat Rein to win the ncaas and I watched the meet a whole 8 seconds in drain Oregon now these wrestlers get hours just for a dual meet but Andy I believe was the best thrower if thats a word that ever lived he threw my brother Tim and Nate Carr

I honestly believe that Andy was the best at throws of anybody that ever lived and I met a gal once that said Andy was in a dance group,and could do a back flip standing still I wrestled andy he was like wrestling steel

Thanks for posting. Andy Rein was an amazing HS, college and international FS wrestler. Grew up in Stoughton, a great wrestling town and stayed in-state at Madison as part of an excellent Badger Wrestling program. Olympic Silver medalist, then a successful Wisconsin coach. There are other matches posted including one against Nate Carr in which Rein scores with two throws. 1984 Olympic trials are all on TH-cam. Great defense, great offense.

Rein was the best thrower ever I wrestled him in a freestyle meet I lost by seven points but I did not get thrown he could toss anybody he was the best Wisconsin wrestler in the sevevties

Уровень борьбы тогда была намного ниже нынешней. По ролику видно.

I was there for that match. I am pretty sure it was the Northern Open. I and some other high school wrestlers from nearby Stoughton helped out.

Was this high school or Olympic trials?

Rein lost to hicks in the ncaas

Rein could throw just about anybody

Not to take anything away from Lee, but if they wrestled again, Gable would come out as the winner. Gable was not in his prime at this point either, so take that into account

I hope the camera man was punished and the camera was destroyed, because Damn! How do you rebury such treasure like that.

In 1972 Wisconsin had a gold medal and a silver both hometown men from Wisconsin and even Iowa when it was at it's best gable recruited alot of guys out of state about the only college to ever have guys from mostly there home was Wisconsin in the seventies and Oregon state

What a match!

We would have done so well at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Lewis, Kemp, Campbell, just to name a few. I grew up watching these guys.

Wasn't this the only time Dan Gable ever lost? These are the two greatest titans of Wrestling

Here's a good profile. onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/features/a-story-of-almosts/

That guys name is Dan but it’s that’s not Dan Gable

I just watched the documentary on Lee Kemp. While I can see what a big deal it was, I was definitely under the impression that Kemp destroyed him when it was a lot closer. Maybe it didn't matter how close it was since 18 year old Kemp defeated a living legend.

Lee was only 18 gable 26 , 27 when he beat gable here. 7-6

I coached wrestling near Kirkland at marysville with Rick Iverson in 1991

Gable whipped Kemp in the practice room

But the amish are still tough but the women are covered in clothes so you do not know what you are getyi

Also farmers in Wisconsin in the past bailed hay by hand and milked cows by pulling the tits of the cows but now even the farm kids are getting soft molly putz as gable would say

I watched this match live as a senior in high school Wisconsin was dominant in wrestling in the seventies better than any other states 2 Olympic champions 3 silver medals but the state I'd no longer as tough due to the decline of the farm industry

In the 1970,s the state of Wisconsin was number one in wrestling, there was multiple national NCAA champions at every level and Olympians

I actually met Lee kemp at my spider patch tournament

Wow! Does this bring back memories!!! Was at this meet, watched this match live and, even though he had been out of competition for a couple of years and Kemp was an absolute BEAST, couldn't believe what I was seeing. Kemp, while not one of the "all time greats", was a GREAT wrestler and won more than a few titles for the UW and the USA. No shame in that. AND won this match, fair and square, effectively ending Gable's thoughts of coming back. No small accomplishment.

wow

How old was Gable here?

no one watches this anymore

i was a senior in high school and it was a shock to see gable get beat but Kemp went on to win 3 world titles

Is this an unofficial match?

Practice at Eastlake North preparing for districts, my husband (Kirtland wrestler) had to work out with Kemp. He said, "I shot in on his leg for a single leg, and it was like grabbing a statue....nothing moved lol" He was promptly crossfaced and got a bloody nose, but still brags "HE DIDN"T PIN ME" haha

video not there

great match, its unbelievable how much more athletic athletes are now compared to then. Also....wow could they have had a smaller mat? I think that mat could fit in m bedroom!

lee kemp came and taught me cool guy

A Great Wrestler and Great Man. I feel privileged every time I run into him.

he is one fast reader

Two best wrestlers ever; where would you put Smith,Baumgartner and Sanderson? I put Lee at top for the World Gold Medals and Gable second for his collegiate record AND a gold medal (apparently better competitors than Sanderson's era). These guys'd dominate in MMA
