[GIF] Tony Galento using his jab and head movement in sparring

Wait a minute...that doesn't confirm my preexisting bias!

 

Were you actually impressed by Galento's performance in the footage?

 

No, but he doesn't fulfill the stereotypical face first brawler with no skill that many make him out to be.

 

But he's fat....and bald....that could never happen in modern times.

Are you and Perry joined at the hip?

 

I suppose this is true, would you care to name them and give us a reason for downgrading their opinions?
ps As far as I am aware Ray Arcel never boxed.Weren't you defending his boxing acumen on another thread?

ps How many actual bouts have you had R?

 

Cool, I wasn't impressed either. I agree with you that he's demonstrating at least some familiarity with the principles of sound boxing technique in the clip (in contrast to his performance in certain other clips).

 

Perry??

 

Galento is a misunderstood fighter in many ways. He had an extensive, and successful amateur background for the era. He was not so much a bar brawler who got into boxing, as somebody who had a good understanding of boxing mechanics, who increasingly regressed to form at world level.

 

that little bit of footage Is Excellent and it is another piece of proof that when the filming is done right the fighters look better and normal.

so just now try and imagine for ALL the GOOD Footage out there of Galento's Opponents, well next time you see poor crap footage of Two Ton, well just remember this little snippet and you'll remember that in Real Life Tony ( and ALL others), was fighting these fights & fighters MUCH Better & Proper than the Poor & S hi t Film show!!!
