Gable always went nuts which pushed the refs to go nuts and make poor judgement during Championship matches. Calling potentially dangerous when Abas was attempting to finish a takedown was just plain dumb.
The real Champion. The ref got excited and started calling bullshit stalling along with escapes when there were never escapes. Those bullshit escapes allowed McIIravy get undeserved takedowns.
the more I watch this, the more I realize how bad the refs did in this match...they were calling potentially dangerous way too early and unnecessary stall calls on gerry..give credit where due with Mac but it doesn't help when everyone in the arena was influenced by the Iowa partisan crowd
Awesome Match!! Wish they had these things on TV back then!

@jurom7 The takedown at 3:25 looked pretty legit to me!

This is Steven Abas's older brother Gerry (who was bigger) than Steven.

When was that? I must be out of the loop, but I thought Mcllravy was a lot bigger than Abas and Kolat......
