    Great stuff.
    Listening to this, sounds like these fighters had terrific endurance and stamina.

    People forget what a big deal nova was. When he beat Baer Lou drew one of the biggest gates of the Joe Louis reighn when challenging for the title.

    Nova was actualy being picked over Louis by some, going into this fight!

    The fat man cheated us out of a Holmes Cooney of the Louis era.

    Nova was being picked by some going into his actual fight with Louis, some time later.

    Galento was a better fighter than Nova by the sounds of it.

    I would say that Nova was the better fighter, but Galento just had his number.
