Tony Galento 244 lbs lost to Max Baer 222 lbs by RTD in round 7 of 15
Date: 1940-07-02
Location: Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
Referee: Joe Mangold
Galento was unable to answer the bell for the 8th round.
The quality of this footage is astonishing considering it's from 1940.
Thanks for watching, liking and sharing please. Go to see more in my Channel
The quality of the fight wasn’t so good though.
It is remastered. They didn't have 4K in 1940.
Clearer than today's UFO photos
@@ElTerribleProduction Great to have original sound. Can almost make out what they growling at each other during the fight.
Max Baer was a hell of a fighter and was father to Max Baer Jr, otherwise known as Jethro Bodine from The Beverly Hillbillies.
0:20 Jethro's uncle. Jethro's dad Buddy was also a fighter as well
Max Baer Jr thew the wildest parties in Hollywood.
Buddy baer was jethro's dad.
@@johnnolan4312 Max Baer Jr. was the son of boxing champion Max Baer and his wife Mary Ellen Sullivan. His uncle was boxer and actor Buddy Baer.
@@johnnolan4312 No. Buddy was his uncle, it's Max Baer JUNIOR. Max Baer is his father, Buddy his uncle.
As Marciano said " Tony Galento is one of the roughest, toughest streetfighters out there "
a lil greaseball
Love the way he leads with his face.
No kidding, I wouldn’t want to get in a fight with this guy in a bar.
His style was similar to Marciano and Joe Frazier.
@@David-yw2lv and TYSON
It’s crazy that Galento was only 30 at the time. I know life was tough back then but he looks much older. He didn’t really do anything but clinch and go in with the head but to give him credit he had a decent chin as Baer was a big puncher.
Galento clearly lived a hard life but he'd be a complete nightmare in a dark alley.
So true!
Tony knocked out Jackie Gleason, for some reason I can’t seem to recall
@@wallacegrommet9343 : Gleason was doing a stand up act in new jersey in a club and galento was heckling him relentlessly. Gleason got really fed up and chalenged tony to a street fight..which ended up with jacky being knocked out cold. Gleason had no idea at the time who tony galento was.
Galento seems the type of man who would bite someone's nose off in a street fight, he was a true dirty street brawler who enjoyed blood and despite being more on the fat side he had plenty of muscle, endless stamina and a granite chin..
Anyone who knocked down Joe Louis is no joke.
Max was a Joker until the end he fell very ill while staying at a Hotel, a maid said to him" Ive sent for the Hotel Doctor", Max replied "thats no good I need a people Doctor", True story.
Tony was able to block most of Max's punches with his face! Great strategy to wear Max out!
T.B ................it was that lead with the face strategy ?????
😂😂😂
Someone once called Galento the human butcher block
My favorite boxing nickname of all-time, "Two-Ton."
it's crazy to realize that Tony Galento is 30 years old here
Max was 31.
@@lemham4565 he also looks older than that, but Galento looks like he's in his 50s. Though obviously he's in extremely good shape.
@@danr5462 Yeah, word was that he only ate two diet pizza pies, each, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, when he was training.
My God he looks 50... Must have had a rough life?
@@dr.phillnaadoftennessee.9788 Yep, he ate a lot of good punches for breakfast.
GALENTO looks like CLEMENZA from the GODFATHER movie.
It’s amazing, isn’t it? I’m sure he could have beaten me to a pulp in about five seconds, but he looks awfully pudgy for a professional boxer. And yes, the ressemblance to Clemenza is striking (mind you, Clemenza was portrayed as someone you shouldn’t mess with despite his weight, too.)
That wasn't a boxing match it was a brawl.
To bad we could not hear what Max was saying to him . That low center of gravity and the torque and weight behind 2 ton I could definitely see him putting the lights out on many opponents . Thanks for upload . 👊🏼
Tough to read lips through a mouth guard but at one point looked like Max referred to Galento affectionately as Fat SOB😂
@@arthurwilliams8778 Right ! 🤣 👊🏼 Have a Great Day Arthur
Galetto: It's only a clean fight if you don't get caught pal😂
This is a mockery to the sport of boxing!!!
It had to develop, just like peoples brains.
Lol
@@royhill9892why does it need to develop if on forums they said rock/jersey/conn/baer would beat guys in 70s-now
So what's Logan Paul vs KSI?
Baer hit him with every punch in the book… except the jab.
Agreed no jab at all. Very limited..
Interesting. Love to know why Baer chose not to jab.
@@daveanaru3038 yes that was strange why never used a jab. Baer was a big unit and a jab would have definitely kept Tony gallento in place.
Yep don't understand it either why max never used straight jabs on Galento 🤔 he was wide open most of the time for it ...
@@peacefulwarrior4078 the fix was on?
Really clear footage. Thanx👍🏻
That was a nifty forearm uppercut by Galento!
Max Baer had a crusher power punch
You wouldn't know it from this fight. Eight rounds to knock out a bar bouncer?
@@rcnelson Tony managed to knock down Joe Louis in a fight for heavy weight title.
@@rcnelson bar bouncers don't fight the best boxers of their generation Tony gllento was no joke
Galento had 57 wins by knockout. He was a very good fighter. @@rcnelson
If ever there was a prizefighter, who definitely did'nt Look nor fight like one..Two 'Ton' tony Galento would win hands down..🥇
He and Butterbean
Galemto took a beating in his career. But you have to admit he could take a punch.
It was a very sloppy fight on both sides particularly on the part of Tony Galento. He was throwing wild and telegraphed punches. Max Baer was too but to a somewhat lesser extent. Fun fact: Max Baer had a son named Max Baer Jr. Max Baer Jr was Jethro on the TV series of The Beverly Hillbillies.
Wow, had no idea. Thanks!
@@olydriver😂
If only I was a hillbilly 😢
Fill your eyes with stinging sweat like both of them had, see how precise your punching is.
@DavidBostock-ti2fv it was an issue with their technique not necessarily how much sweat was in their eyes. Many fighters of that time were sloppy in their technique compared to the fighters of today.
Tony's will was tougher than his body. Hard life of a boxer.
This was a barroom fight fought in a boxing ring....and Max bought all the drinks afterwards.
Max Baer would have been a very dangerous fighter if he threw a jab once in a while!
Max was such a loveable guy. A comedian, Big brother, lover of humanity all rolled in one. Why Howard maligned him???
Ticket sales of course… What’s a story without a villain? 🤷🏻♂️
@@scottenriquez1930 yes indeed.
It's a Hollywood thing. Ron Howard saw Max in The Harder They Fall as a vicious champ and thought it was real. In fact, Max was 180 degrees opposite of Buddy Brannon.
Max Baer Jr is wanting to kill Howard over it
You have to give galento credit for taking that type of beating
Yeah in the back bar room galento i think would have whipped Max bear
@@diaz-juan-cablo-paolo-loui1460 Possibly, but I wouldn't bet against Baer in a barroom brawl, even against Galento. Both guys were plenty tough. Two Ton, might benefit from using a broken vino bottle though.
@@waynej2608 that's funny I'll say I don't think galento would have needed a wine bottle
I just think baer was overrated many losses on his career
Yes and he looked OLD there too
Speaking of which. Story
Quality of the film is outstanding
Jethro's dad was a physical phenom - like his son. The double not spy.
Jethro got his degree in business management, didn't wind up ripped off and starving.
@@DavidBostock-ti2fvA degree from the 6th grade.
@@DavidBostock-ti2fv his brother Buddy was even bigger.
If those two clowns try to fight the fighters of today they would have their butts kicked in one round especially the galanto he's about 50 lb overweight and he doesn't know how to box for nothing Marciano could have made mashed potatoes out of both of them
some not sane odd person said this to me, I've seen your videos on Deontay, as well as your ones on Wlad and the 70s-90s comparison. I find most of it disagreeable, mainly with how you describe the techniques being shown in their respective clips. I agree that Galento, Baer, Braddock, and Carnera were crude boxers, but they were also seen as crude for their own time. I also agree with Marciano's technique being vastly overrated. I disagree with your views on Louis the most. In fact, I think Louis looks great in most of the footage that you use to try and prove your point. In the 70s-90s video, you use Carnera footage to argue that Louis has stiff and sluggish movement, but Louis is moving beautifully in that footage. He's constantly circling with Carnera, moving in and out, feinting, using head movement, parrying, and slipping his jab, while peppering him at will with his own jabs. You argue that Louis looks unsure of himself, but I'd say he looks extremely confident and that Carnera is the only one looking terrified. Carnera has a decent jab but overall looks crude, but Louis looks like a modern boxer in that fight. It's the same case for the footage you use for the Baer fight. You argue that Louis looks sluggish, lacks upper and lower body movement, and can't effectively punch from range or punch while moving. I disagree; in fact, I think Louis pretty much does this in the examples you use. Louis is effortlessly jabbing and hooking from range and is doing it incredibly smoothly. He's using nuanced lateral movement and punching beautifully while doing it. He's dominating the crude Baer like any great boxer would. In your Deontay video, you use a terrified Schmeling getting bulldozed by a rushing Louis in a minute as an example of how Louis and Schmeling can't fight from range or manage distance. I don't think that's really fair; it's clear from the other fights that Louis knows how to use range, angles, and manage distance. I also don't think Louis looks horrible at all here; in fact, he's constantly feinting and anxious to parry that right hand, since you emphasize looking at their hands. They both do well at defending themselves on the inside at 1:18-1:25. Very tight guards. Schmeling cleverly blocks, then rolls Louis' punches at 0:54. I don't think this is the best exampleofr either of their technical brilliance, but I don't think they look bad either. It's important to note that Schmeling said that he was scaredsh*tlesss before the figh, and basically lost before the fightbegan,n like Spinks against Tyson. You also use a pastprime,e Louis and Conn, who had just fought 4 years in the war, from their 1946 fight as your example for why they're inefficient at range, mostly punch just when they stop, stand in front of their opponents waiting to be hit, and even in thiscase,e I still disagree with you. The past prime, basically shot Billy Conn effectively uses lateral movement and isn't predictable with it, parries and overall defends himselfwell,l and jabs from range well. I still think theydido all of these things much better in their first match, especially Conn. I also don't think a pastprime minister,e Ezzard Charles, who reportedly had symptoms of ALS as early as 1951, is the best example to use to define that era's techniques either. Same with the Moore and Dempsey clips. Dempsey,Charles,s and Moore didn't fight like that normally atall,l and when you watch their fights in fulllength,h that becomes clear. Dempsey displays crisp head movement and good technique in his fights with Brennan, Gibbons, and in his training footage with Bill Tate. He even displays good defenseand,d attimes,s technique in his past prime footage against Sharkey and Tunney. 4- yea- old Moore was cooking Marciano at range in the early rounds of their fight, and effectivelydefendingd himself while countering Rock.,Evennthen,n I find Moore's performances against Bivins and Davidson much more impressive. Charles looks modern in his fight against Lloyd Marshall. They're all much more skilled than Deontay.
Can you watch my video of Deon/Foreman Louis Vid and tell me if you see anybody that fought Deon or himself or if anybody I showed Foreman fought or himself was less skilled or using the same obsolete tech as the guys I compared them to?
great sportsmanship shaking Baer's hand as he gets in the ring
Tony Galento, the John Daly of boxing.
Pillsbury doughboy. Worse fighter I have ever seen
Well said , Sir!!
33,000 participants in this fight, that's hard to imagine today best fighter's obtaining 33,000 audience members.
We get way more than that for the big fights over here now. 90,000 for a really big fight.
Max Baer was never the same fighter after a man died in the ring ,he was one of the hardest hitters in boxing
Had a great body and could clobber ya with that right sledgehammer
Yeah I heard he supported the family till the day he died.
Probably one of early Tyson's heroes
Two of his opponents died in the ring.
@@richardhenry1969 Nope. He participated in one benefit bout in 1935 but the press literally had to shame him for almost 7 months before he agreed. There was no money in a benefit bout and Baer's lavish tastes meant he always owed creditors and was usually broke. The story he "put Frankie's children through school" is made up as well. Frankie had one son, and that son worked hard to get accepted to West Point on a full ride.
Personally, I don't think either of those two showed much in the way of boxing skill.
So
@@williamanderson6006 - So, I don't think either of those two showed much in the way of boxing skill.
@@Marcfjyou’re wrong on forums they said Baer/conn/jersey/louis/rock would beat guys in 70s-now
@@ascendediam - I did not say those two did not have any boxing skills, I said, "I don't think either of those two showed much in the way of boxing skill." Do you see the difference?? Also, what are you trying to say here, "they said Baer/conn/jersey/louis/rock would beat guys in 70s-now"????
@Marcfj What are you having trouble understanding? People on forums said guys from this era would beat guys in the 70s-90s. Why don't you tell me if guys in this era look as advanced?
This was Baer past his prime. Still very good
Max b Feb1909, Tony b March 1910. 30 and 31.
The techniques terribly primitive by today's standards
How is that when they said on forums rock/conn/jersey/louis/baer would beat guys in 70s-now
and that was what passed for the SWEET SCIENCE back then,just a couple of out of shape not very good street fighters,Most every weekend ,when the loggers came to town,I saw better fights....of course the loggers were in much better shape and 2 or 3 times as strong,and probably had more experience.

Apparently, they didnt invent the jab yet. Galento was never really hurt, just gassed. He lit a cigar 40 minutes after the fight.
Great fight , down to business straight away , some big hits hear with very light gloves , punches would of really stung
I believe that Max Baer was the father of one of the stars of the Beverley Hillbillies. Max Baer Jr.
He was.
Jethro
Max Baer Jr. Told a funny story about his dad when he said he wanted to be a fighter. After his dad knocked him on his ass Max Jr. Decided then that he should be an actor instead.
This looks more like a street brawl than a professional fight. The short chubby guy
looks like he has never boxed before!
This is the same era Louis fought in, and rock and multiple loonies on forums and on highlights said those guys would beat guys in the 70s and 90s,
yet my video shows Deontay fought no names, way more advanced.
And those same loonies lied, saying Wlad fought like Primo and that Louis would beat him, yet my video shows Wlad never did, and Wlad even in his 3rd match was way more advanced than this whole Novice-like era.
Thank you for posting this.
The big man was holding and hitting throughout the fight. Several obvious headbutt attempts. The ref didn't call him on any of them. A few backhanded slaps and one or two elbows, but he just couldn't beat Max..
Looked like 2 blokes fighting outside a pub
Forums said Baer would beat guys from 70s-Now
Galante did knock down Joe Louis
Shouldn’t that tell you these guys suck and would be koed by any average guy from 70s-now,these guys All look like novices
Thanks for Sharing... A Good Battle
Looks like an old man fighting a kid.
Looks like novices compared to 70s
I wish there was video of him wrestling the octopus.
After retiring as a boxer, Galento turned his hand to professional wrestling. He squared off against fellow ex-heavyweight contender Primo Carnera, grappled an octopus in a giant fish tank in Seattle, fought a 550 lb bear in a cage in Newark, and boxed a kangaroo in Atlantic City.[13
Jackie Gleason once challenged Galento to a fight outside a bar. Galento landed one punch and Gleason was out on the sidewalk.
What other lies would you like to share?
👉🏼🤥👈🏾
neither one of these fighters could win a bout against any of the boxers today
On forums, lunatics said marciano would beat mercer, yet no one even made mid card fighting like they did in that novice-like era in the '''' ''70s-'90s, tony wasn't much bigger than rocky and he had to stay away cause ray hit so hard, this man tony was way more advanced than that whole rocky era
Tony was almost koed in the 1st from a hard jab from ray and Tony was used to taking shots from his real class which would be Rock's lhw, on top of Tony fought guys with way better tech than they did in Rock's era
Some crazy slow person named nycinstyle kept saying my video is wrong, and ali said how great rock was, and how ali knows boxing well that's correct since ali for a fact knew no one made even midcard fighting like these novices in the 70s,and then the wacko said how ali said rock was better then frazier when ali was just being humble, anybody knows with good vision Joe was way more advanced
yet foreman was in the same era who fought guys who had the same advances as others in the same era
He kept speaking on rock only instead of the other people in my video as if all these guys didn't all have the same novice like tech and flaws, these people just are really crazy and slow man
I see you spreading your idiocy everywhere you go.
@@dashauncarney9651his comment was 1 month before mine explain the difference between what he said vs mine he said the same as me it's implied these guys look horrible why is his comment not wrong
By you not commenting even before I made my comment shows my videos hurt you
Why wasn't you're comment a response to him when he said these wouldn't win against anybody today
See how it makes no sense what's the difference with my comments when he made his first
great quality video thank you for the upload. I wish I could find some Rocky Marciano this good
Man awesome footage! If you have more from the era do share! Some interesting contenders and wins of fighters like Baer can’t be found it seems…
Funniest fight ive seen in a while. Galento looks like the short pudgy dad body hot headed neighbor down the road who wants to fight over you mowing the lawn to early. Throws wild telegraphed punches like a goofball.
I've watched this a couple of times. I'm still trying to spot the boxing part.

some crazy idiot days ago said my video showing rounds of how these guys fought side by side with people george fought on my page is a opinion of george fighting way more advanced people in both ages how is showing exactly how fighters fought and showing advances in tech/fluidity/defense/fluidity/angles an opinion ?
The average amateur in 70s-90s were way more advanced than this whole Novice era
Slow person speaking here.
7.29 .nasty headbutt…holds back of neck and drives head into Baer’s face.. naughty..
Can u imagine either of these guys in the ring with Tyson? They wouldn't survive 5 seconds. Literally.
watch on my page deontay compared to 20s-50s and /foreman and louis it's compares of how those fighters fought vs deontay and Foreman and guys he fought you tell me which eras were more advanced
Galanto was the Butter Bean of his day
He reminds me more of Andy ruiz.
Yes exactly
I had same thought
Hardly. Galento was a legit pro and top contender for his division, Butterbean was a sideshow attraction:

Galento’s “boxing skill” is an oxymoron. This is among the least satisfying bouts I have ever viewed. A total joke.
Lol
They were tough but unskilled.
Excellent quality! Love Max Baer. "Two Ton" was an entertaining punching bag.
🤣
Beer v Baer.
All I can say is it's not a good fight to watch...basically looks like a bar brawl by two drunks in a ring with either having no idea how to box.
How boxing has changes since those days.
This wasn't a Box Match that was a contest between a drunken Bar Fighter and a skilled Sportsman 😂😂Funny to watch and think how they would look against Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali...❣️
Video on my page foreman louis compared
Which era used more angles/fluidity/defense/timing/tech?/fought smarter
It’s like watching a couple of drunks 😳🧐
People on forums said Baer would beat guys from 70s-now
imagine baer vs wilder it would be a battle of power punches for the ages
Really?
Wilder in his prime would demolish Max Baer
hahahahahahahahahahahahah..............................oh sorry - you were kidding, right?
@Alex Arthur haha no I'm not a comedian I'm serious
Baer was rock hard but very crude with no left hand.
Boxing like any other sport has evolved and Wilder would ko Baer easily.
With today's training Baer would have been 240 to 250 with better skills
The good old days
Looks like the jab wasn't invented yet haha. 😁

My dad was fourteen years old, so, I don't know if he was at this fight. He used to wait outside Roosevelt Stadium, for a foul ball to fly out of the stadium , and then turn it into the box office for a free ticket to see the Union City Reds minor league baseball games. In the nineteen forties, he was on the Saint Peter's college🥊 boxing team in Jersey City, N.J. (Eugene Lippi). Those were the days! Tom Lippi Denver, Colorado
TOM LIPPI Wasn't the US involved with WW2 at the time of that fight? Wonder if either of those heavies gave service to participate ?
Yes. Max Baer was a Sargent in the army, in WWII. He was discharged in 1945; after a punching bag fell on him, badly injuring his neck. Tony Galento was nicknamed "two ton" because he once delivered two tons of ice before a fight. He yelled names at Jackie Gleason during a show and jeered until Jackie said to meet him after the show outside. He did and knocked out Jackie with one punch. Tony almost beat Joe Louis; knocking him down in the FIRST round! I don't think he was in the service. He grew up in a tough New Jersey neighborhood. He fought in the movie, "On the Waterfront"; which was filmed a couple of blocks from my Grandparents house and fish store in Union City. My grandpa (Cipriano Lippi) was wounded three times in WWI and became the commander of the VFW in Union City.
@@tomlippi7763 Well I'm glad to hear that in most cases these "muscle- bound" athletes donated some service to their country! cuz in some cases especially with pro baseball n basketball there were some slufflaws n conscientious objectors who felt they were too good for Uncle Sam Another example Mohammed Ali aka Classius Clay comes to mind lol!
@@chairlesnicol672 Ali was a 100% correct in his decision!
My father was from North Bergen he saw Jackie Robinson play in Roosevelt Stadium. He also knew Jimmy Braddock very well and took his daughter out on a few dates.
Any nowadays boxer could knockout these two guys with one hand in 5 seconds
The 70s, 80s and 90s were the golden age for the heavy weight, unfortunately it's not that good at the moment, all the top heavy weights are not taking the fights the public wants too see.
I'd tale that beyond and you'd lose all you have. You know nothing about these old boxers. They enjoyed fighting, not like these prissy pansies that fight once a year. Galento would KO your whole family.
@@fatjecinteresting video on my page shows every no name deontay fought was way more advanced than these novices
I've heard of Galento and Baer all my life, and I thought they were boxers. This display makes me wonder why they were so well-known.
This is like watch amateur boxing.
Amateur boxers didn’t fight this way in 70-90s look up matches way more advanced
Tough guys but two totally unskilled operators.
You do know that bear was heavyweight champion for a brief period? 🤣🤣
@@jeoffbarrat1101
Yes I do and I stand by what I said.
He relied on a granite chin and a big right hand.
He was unskilled.
Galento was that era's Butterbean Esch. Always one punch away from a knockout win.
Mike Tyson would have destroyed both of these guys one after the other in the same night. And he would have done in two rounds.
what is it you see here that makes you think these 2 would last more then 1min in the 1st
Max Baer is Jetro's, from the Beverly Hill Billies father !
Tony looks like Alfred Hitchcock getting torn in to Max here!
2 ton tony wouldnt stand a chance against todays fit boxers😅
some not sane odd person said this to me, I've seen your videos on Deontay, as well as your ones on Wlad and the 70s-90s comparison. I find most of it disagreeable, mainly with how you describe the techniques being shown in their respective clips. I agree that Galento, Baer, Braddock, and Carnera were crude boxers, but they were also seen as crude for their own time. I also agree with Marciano's technique being vastly overrated. I disagree with your views on Louis the most. In fact, I think Louis looks great in most of the footage that you use to try and prove your point. In the 70s-90s video, you use Carnera footage to argue that Louis has stiff and sluggish movement, but Louis is moving beautifully in that footage. He's constantly circling with Carnera, moving in and out, feinting, using head movement, parrying, and slipping his jab, while peppering him at will with his own jabs. You argue that Louis looks unsure of himself, but I'd say he looks extremely confident and that Carnera is the only one looking terrified. Carnera has a decent jab but overall looks crude, but Louis looks like a modern boxer in that fight. It's the same case for the footage you use for the Baer fight. You argue that Louis looks sluggish, lacks upper and lower body movement, and can't effectively punch from range or punch while moving. I disagree; in fact, I think Louis pretty much does this in the examples you use. Louis is effortlessly jabbing and hooking from range and is doing it incredibly smoothly. He's using nuanced lateral movement and punching beautifully while doing it. He's dominating the crude Baer like any great boxer would. In your Deontay video, you use a terrified Schmeling getting bulldozed by a rushing Louis in a minute as an example of how Louis and Schmeling can't fight from range or manage distance. I don't think that's really fair; it's clear from the other fights that Louis knows how to use range, angles, and manage distance. I also don't think Louis looks horrible at all here; in fact, he's constantly feinting and anxious to parry that right hand, since you emphasize looking at their hands. They both do well at defending themselves on the inside at 1:18-1:25. Very tight guards. Schmeling cleverly blocks, then rolls Louis' punches at 0:54. I don't think this is the best exampleofr either of their technical brilliance, but I don't think they look bad either. It's important to note that Schmeling said that he was scaredsh*tlesss before the figh, and basically lost before the fightbegan,n like Spinks against Tyson. You also use a pastprime,e Louis and Conn, who had just fought 4 years in the war, from their 1946 fight as your example for why they're inefficient at range, mostly punch just when they stop, stand in front of their opponents waiting to be hit, and even in thiscase,e I still disagree with you. The past prime, basically shot Billy Conn effectively uses lateral movement and isn't predictable with it, parries and overall defends himselfwell,l and jabs from range well. I still think theydido all of these things much better in their first match, especially Conn. I also don't think a pastprime minister,e Ezzard Charles, who reportedly had symptoms of ALS as early as 1951, is the best example to use to define that era's techniques either. Same with the Moore and Dempsey clips. Dempsey,Charles,s and Moore didn't fight like that normally atall,l and when you watch their fights in fulllength,h that becomes clear. Dempsey displays crisp head movement and good technique in his fights with Brennan, Gibbons, and in his training footage with Bill Tate. He even displays good defenseand,d attimes,s technique in his past prime footage against Sharkey and Tunney. 4- yea- old Moore was cooking Marciano at range in the early rounds of their fight, and effectivelydefendingd himself while countering Rock.,Evennthen,n I find Moore's performances against Bivins and Davidson much more impressive. Charles looks modern in his fight against Lloyd Marshall. They're all much more skilled than Deontay.
Can you watch my video of Deon/Foreman Louis Vid and tell me if you see anybody that fought Deon or himself or if anybody I showed Foreman fought or himself was less skilled or using the same obsolete tech as the guys I compared them to?
Worse heavyweight I've seen in 40 years of watching and following boxing - Johan Marais Johannesburg South Africa
Max Baer looked awful. Did he train at all?
Both look novice like compared to 70s-90s
Tony was a bar room brawler not dedicated boxer
Wasn't that Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies Father??
Yes.
@@franketwas6917 Thanks, that's what i thought. I see where 'Gethro' got his high energy from, i saw from youtube vids his Dad was a clown at heart and an nice guy but had that gift from GOD for being able to do much more than be a mediocre fighter or local tough guy, i knew a few of those, always looking for trouble
Damn, these guys wouldn't stand a chance against a modern boxer.
You have obviously not seen Baer in his better days when he was in his prime
@@danieerasmus2748still looks like a novice,who made pro fighting like these guys in 70s-90s?,what mid-top guy?
And they say Ali held behind the head .. Tony had him locked in a few times lol
Galento against Joe Lewis hurt Lewis and managed to knock him down. And Tony clearly was not a genuine heavyweight.
Is Baer going to fight with his robe on?
So, that's what passed for boxing back in 1940? Interesting.
This is the same era Louis fought in, and rock and multiple loonies on forums and on highlights said those guys would beat guys in the 70s and 90s,
yet my video shows Deontay fought no names, way more advanced.
And those same loonies lied, saying Wlad fought like Primo and that Louis would beat him, yet my video shows Wlad never did, and Wlad even in his 3rd match was way more advanced than this whole Novice-like era.
Two Ton Tony, trained on spaghetti and beer. He had more fights out of the ring than in,lol. My Dad used to tell me about his bar in Jersey. You had to be careful as Tony was the bouncer, one wrong word and you were either knocked out or out the door, lol. True that !
You know, I heard that Jackie Gleason fought him in an alley. If true kudos to Gleason, takes courage.
Yea Guys Like that Only Fools mess with
IDK-- It looks like TTTony came to wrestle---Not Box!!!!! Baer tried to break numerous times, but Galento held pn---
@@henrybrowne7248 I heard JG tell the story. He was on stage and a guy from the crowd made a comment JG did not like. So, he said step outside, and we will settle this. When they got outside, Jackie turned and said , " ok " That is all he remembered. He didn't know TG made the comment, and all it took was 1 shot,lol.
@@thomasfoss9963 The was the fight of the 2 dirtiest guys in the game, Back hands, elbows, shoulder hit, butting, and trash talking the entire fight. Tony took it all for most of the fight.
Tony Galen to would have been one bar room fighter you wouldn’t want to get into it with for sure
To think that galanto had a crack at the title against Lewis is laughable. I couldn't think the heavyweight division could've been any worse than it is now. What a joke 😂😅
He dropped Louis in fourth round
I've seen the fight before and he was better in that fight if I remember correctly but I'm going by this one. Wasn't it an earlier round and Louis finished him in the 4th?
@@rickymacphail8444 In earlier round - I think second he staggered Louis. I got to rewatch that fight :P
Galento had 112 fights 79 wins and 57 by KO. How many heavyweights fight that many bouts in their career? These guys liked fighting, unlike some Gypsy bowl of jelly.
Good quality upload thank you
Pure class c boxing.
Some crazy slow person named nycinstyle kept saying my video is wrong, and ali said how great rock was, and how ali knows boxing well that's correct since ali for a fact knew no one made even midcard fighting like these novices in the 70s,and then the wacko said how ali said rock was better then frazier when ali was just being humble, anybody knows with good vision Joe was way more advanced
yet foreman was in the same era who fought guys who had the same advances as others in the same era
He kept speaking on rock only instead of the other people in my video as if all these guys didn't all have the same novice like tech and flaws, these people just are really crazy and slow man
On forums, lunatics said marciano would beat mercer, yet no one even made mid card fighting like they did in that novice-like era in the '''' ''70s-'90s, tony wasn't much bigger than rocky and he had to stay away cause ray hit so hard, this man tony was way more advanced than that whole rocky era
Tony was almost koed in the 1st from a hard jab from ray and Tony was used to taking shots from his real class which would be Rock's lhw, on top of Tony fought guys with way better tech than they did in Rock's era idiot days ago said my video showing rounds of how these guys fought side by side with people george fought on my page is a opinion of george fighting way more advanced people in both ages how is showing exactly how fighters fought and showing advances in tech/fluidity/defense/fluidity/angles an opinion ?
The average amateur in 70s-90s were way more advanced than this whole Novice era
I'm 69. I've been rather amused at the whole Wrestling phenomenon, but I have to say in retrospect, It truly made a stand on its own as a part of American Culture. Read the story somewhere where "Gorgeous George's" outrageous approach to Wrestling was an inspiration to several later famous individuals, two of which were Bob Dylan and naturally Muhammad Ali.
Do you have the pre-fight stuff they made, where Galento and Baer is talking over the phone? Thanks for the upload
Max was Jethro Bodine's father.Was Tony boxing of wrestling?
The movie Cinderella Man is an incredible boxing movie if you like boxing movies.
Hard to tell how bloody it was until you pay attention to the referee's shirt from the start of the fight.
Galento is just a brawler here. No boxing skills😅
Both look like novices nobody made pro fighting like these guys in 70s-90s
Max Baer has that habit of pulling on his shorts, every fight.
Galento had only one game plan. That was to knock his opponents out. He only threw left hooks that his opponent could see it coming from a mile. He's more of a street fight than a well trained boxer.
The "referee" should disqualify Galento early on for all his headbutts, holding, wrestling and backhands. Very unsymphatic and no sportsman at all, very negative style and no fun to watch such crap. And Galento's strange blabla before the fight started. I think I never heard anybody say anything while the referee mentioned the rules in the ring until this clip. BTW the referee was very bad,too.
