1988 Mike Tyson vs 1939 Tony Galento

Do the opening instructions end with Galento informing Tyson he'd slipped Robin the salami?

 

Galento will come straight to Tyson without an ounce of fear and be horizontal very shortly without an ounce of consciousness.

 

Imagine the kind of damage Galento could do today, with access to modern training and food delivery apps? Unstoppable.

 

Galento is taylor made for Tyson. Tyson in four.

 

Tyson makes quick work of that fat Italian Sausage. I can't decide if the fight lasts 59 seconds or goes a full minute.

 

Ooooooooooh! How much more betrayal can Tony take?!

 

If he was alive, he'd have really bad indigestion, no pasta for Fat Tony for a while.

 

If Tony gets that left thumb eye-gouge through before Mike nails him, I think Tyson submits.

He’s be complaining to the ref while Galento would be whaling on him. Surprise KO for Tony but only IF that thumb to the eye lands squarely early.

 

Tony was a legit fighter.

 

Galento was not the complete nonentity and jabroni that people paint him as here. The only reason I think this will be a one-round fight, again, is that he will come running to Tyson without fear … he ain’t Michael Spinks … and start trying to slug it out with him.
