    Was that Sonny Liston in there? Muhammad Ali called him The Big Ugly Bear.

    He didn't do so well against the Baer!

    Sonny was green here but you can see the bones of what he would become those are good fighters he’s beating up in sparring.

    Teddy has a great left.

    Galento had no luck with Baers or bears, it seems.

    Just a raw slugfest. Pure and primal

    It's like I keep saying. Gloved bouts don't prepare fighters for bearknuckle boxing.

    Tbh, Galento and the other dude were doing okay until…. the Bear had his paws secretly “dipped” by his corner. Galento and the other guy were left squinting/blinking for days.
