    Tua demolishes "two ton" Galento. It would be boxer with skill vs. bar brawler, and I'll happily pick the boxer in this one.

    This fight would be a brawl though...
    They'de be fighting eachother on the inside all night and we know how dirty Galento can be if Tua can't finish him early it'll be a long night for him

    A guy who comes walking in to Tua without any kind of special defence is doomed.
    Tua might be a few lbs smaller but he'll moida da bum.

    Too much skill, too much power for the crude cheater

    And how long would an unskilled bar fighter with zero defense like Galento last vs. an accomplished and skilled boxer like Tua?

    This would be over in a round or two. Galento has zero chance.

    It would be like Louis-Galento all over again.
    Except Tua's chin is much better, and I'm sure Tua against crude brawlers can unleash more damage than Louis could.

    I would be quite surprised by a Galento victory. I'd be even more surprised if he didn't end up being more intelligible after the fight.

    Galento was only decked once in a 100+ fight career and it took Joe Louis 4 rounds to dispatch him. I doubt Tua would do it that much quicker although he'd win eventually. Galento beats him in a bar tho.

    What a mismatch. OP, do you honestly think the two fighters are comparable? Tua would absolutely brutalise Galento, and if he caught him early in the fight then I wouldn't be surprised to see Galento take a major nap.

    The only conceivable way I can see Galento staying in the fight is by fouling like an absolute trooper. Nut shots, eye gouges, headbutts. If he misses a single trick he's done.
