    Do you want Kenny to die or something?
    How is he supposed to react when he has this titanic autist on his tail?

    If Galento can back Norton up, he's got a shot.

    I like Ken Norton to win. But I can see how Galento’s awkwardness might make it a harder fighter than some might think.

    LOL leave Ken Norton alone, Yes Two Ton Tony would maul him, he caught Louis he catches Ken but he finished him.

    a more competative bout would be Galento v Ron Stander

    Laugh all you want, but Galento was powerful with an iron chin and a hard punch. I consider him the Tua before there was Tua. Galento had never been floored until Louis did it and then he got up and floored the champion. Kenny would do well to avoid that left hook is all I'm saying or it could look like Tua's destruction of Ruiz.

    This isn’t an episode of South Park. Kenny doesn’t get killed. Possibly he gets shook along the way but Norton ultimately batters the fat man into submission by the mid to 3/4 rounds mark. This is one fight where the guy who looks the part actually wins the fight.

    My take too. On paper Norton has the skills and pedigree. However big fat guys with a punch and a chin and the willingness to throw bombs have derailed some trains before. I will say that the deeper into the fight we go the worse it will be for Galento. You could see a scenario where he does surprisingly well in the early rounds but ends the fight looking like the two tons of ice were dropped on his head.

    Kenny killing Cartman is an interesting turn of events here
