The Mike Rossman/Victor Galindez Fights

I'm looking forward to watching these, myself.

 

Just posted my scorecard in the usual thread.

 

I know. I have it watched. I'm such a nerd.

 

Interesting thing about Galindez is that his early career record (1969-71) is quite poor: In his first 22 fights, he went 11-6-3 with 2 no contests. Then, from Jan 72 up to September 78 and the Rossman fight he went unbeaten with a record of 42-0-1! There aren't many (any?) fighters with a better record on paper than Galindez during that period.

 

I remember reading about this one in KO magazine back in the day. Jerry Martin was a former inmate at Rahway nick and unlike Richie Kate’s and Eddie Gregory he wasn’t intimidated by Scott or the atmosphere.

I watched the first Rossman vs Galindez fight on Oz tv live and was shocked at the result as I was a big “ vicious “ Victor fan.

The non fight when Galindez refused to come out made me cheer for Rossman in the rematch but Galundez battered him.

Really enjoyed the posts on the topic by Longhorn. Absolutely on the money.

Cheers All.

 

Hi mate, the Argentine domestic scene seemed to match young fighters hard unlike many other countries. Monzon also learned on the job and got better and better. Fighters who are matched hard early tend to have great will and mental strength if they make it through the fire.

Cheers.

 

I remember the 1st Richie Kates title bout, when the fight was allowed to continue even though Victor did have a really bad cut. But back then, I do not know about now, but to take the champion's crown, you better beat him up good to take it away. Those words were spoken to Sean O Grady during his title winning bout against champion Hilmer Kenty, by his corner. Sean went on to win the title.

 

I sadly remembered Victor Galindez demise, it was like today's breaking news, on television. I could not believe it. He was a great champion.

 

I would have loved to see him unite the World Light Heavyweight Title against John Conteh the WBC champion. I would like for a poster to write about a fight with prime Galindez vs a prime Bob Foster.

 

Wow I remember these fights,,, 70's were a great time to watch boxing
