Tony Galento v. Hasim Rahman

This one I think:

That's kind of a major part of boxing. Waiting for chances to counter an attack.
Louis is moving at a normal pace, looking to trade in range, alternating steps between his back foot and front foot. This isn't awkward, this is the basics of a boxing stance. He tries to throw a double jab followed with a hook. Galento starts his leaping hook after the jabs, and luckily catches Louis bringing his right hand down while he throws the hook.

 

All the personal jibes aside, I quite enjoyed the discussion between Cobra, Magoo and McVey.

You guys should get together more often!

 

It appears the logic is only going in one direction!

I don't think Mongoose Dan could take the heat,it would get," too emotional," for him.

 

I love the character of two ton tone, always marveled at him dropping Louis on his back. Tht shocked look on Joe's face. Priceless. But I feel rahman may have the edge here. No mistake, galento will try, he'll stand and trade with the bigger man and land a few juicy hooks to rahman. But the biggest punches will come from rahman and some where round the 6th round a barrage of punches will have a bloody tony rescued by the ref.

 

It's not unreasonable to think that either of these guys could take this match. Both were hardened veterans with big punches and a few solid signature wins each. I just happen to think Rahman was better even if only marginally. He knocked out Lennox Lewis and beat a dangerous contender in Corrie Sanders who was not only avoided but would also beat a future ATG himself. And if truth be told Hasim probably should have beaten David Tua as well. That's a lot of substance of we're honest. If matched with Galento he'd be facing a man significantly shorter with poor conditioning and a history of losing to lesser men and using dirty tactics against the ones he beat. Again it could be anyone's match but common sense coupled with gut instincts tells me to favor Rahman.
