    Both have dynamite in their gloves, but I give Galento the edge in chin. I see this as a good fight.

    Galento was pretty tough but hard to miss. Never sat down to analyse this one. 50-50ish to me. Maybe leaning Shavers.

    Galento's left hooks were crushing.

    Shavers was stopped by Stander. Galento was better than Stander. Im picking Galento to outlast Shavers in a war.

    It would've been a fun, short fight won by Earnie but he might have to get off the deck to do it.
