Rocky great photo of Dempsey and the great LH Tommy Gibbons.I saw a film of Tommy Gibbons flattening Englishman Jack Bloomfield in 1925.
It was on youtube, and I was immensely impressed by the hitting power of Gibbons. ESB fans would marvel by Tommy Gibbon's if they saw this film again.What say you the owners of this film as a public service,show it one more time for posterity...:hi:

 

They look like brothers.

 

In keeping with the Galento theme of the past week here's some snaps of the fat man himself
