    A battle of the original Italian stallions. How do you see this fight going? Galento would be a couple inches shorter but had a longer reach and about 50 lbs on Rock.

    Could be a tougher fight for Marciano than expected. Galento was as good as Tua and had the same style.

    Both were 5'9.
    Marciano wears him down and finishes the fight around round 6-10 after struggling in the early rounds.

    A brutal battle. Rocky's relentless agressive style carries the day, but he gets a lot of scratches too.

    The simulation is narrowing the parameters as we swirl down the drain. Walls close in, fewer features but all repeat faster as we speed toward oblivion.

    You enjoy repeating the Galento half as good as Tua line when it's absurd. He was much slower, had one hand not two handed power and far poorer conditioned.

    Marciano pounds on the open as a barn door Galento.

    Their will be no struggling or breakdown required.

    Agree that Marciano hurts Galento bad and stops him. But for stylistic reasons combined with Galento’s toughness I think this could be a good exchange for several rounds.
