Atlas vs. Lewin, January 1980

I came across this match between Tony Atlas and the fearsome Maniac Mark Lewin on YouTube last week. It's from 1980 which would mean Lewin, born in 1937, was 43 years old at the time, while bodybuilder Atlas was only 26. This was the period when Lewin looked amazing (especially for a man his age), but his style of wrestling was mostly limited to karate chops and underhanded moves. Watch the match here.
