Victor Galindez vs Michael Moorer

Galindez. Moorer highly unproven at 175 lbs. Jumped ship too soon.

 

Galindez....depending on his ability to deal with a 'southpaw'....being MJohnson stopped Galindez.

 

Galindez was never given his due because he was overshadowed in
Argentina by Monzon. He was not a big puncher but fought in the
toughest era of 175 lbs and still managed to be 2 x Champion and his
first reign lasted 4 yrs. He held victories in his prime over Eddie Mustafa
Muhummad and Yaqui Lopez. The Johnson southpaw fight he was past his
prime. Never saw Moorer fight the calibre opponents of Galindez at LHW.
So have to go with the Argentina strongman on pts.

 

Going against the grain. Galindez could be hit and Moorer is going to hit him and hit him hard. I got Moorer in an upset

 

I have no idea but I only discovered Galindez a few years ago. Really liked watching him fight. Man that was a great time for the light heavies!! Galindez seemed pretty tough from the few fights I've seen.

Moorer had power & although his chin wasn't very good, I don't remember seeing him hurt as a light heavyweight.

 

Interesting match and one that can be debated either way. Moorer really doesn't have much at all behind him at 175 but we know he had extreme power and we all saw how he did at Heavyweight. I'd lean toward Moorer by stoppage but it's as much about what he did at Heavy as 175. Moorer is mostly unproven at 175 but that i guess doesn't mean he wouldn't have been able to excel. It just involves a bit of a leap.

 

Galindez V moorer.. What a delicious meet up. Galindez proved him self over better opposition but moorer looked the more fearsome and dangerous. I see moorer hurting Galindez very quickly, till the point where the ref nearly dives in, but he survive s to come back. He digs his feet in and starts to nail moorer. As the fight heads in to the second half victor pours the heat on and moorer look s the worst for wear. He ll drop moorer several times in the 11 th round until the refs seen enough.

 

I'd go with Vic late. Pretty typical fashion for Galindez in that it's no easy fight. And he gets hit some and likely busted up from those accurate hands of MM.
But Galindez does what he always did and hangs tough. And that explosion off the ropes thing of his when he'd sucker the other guy into thinking he was in trouble. MM is right in front of him & I think he eats a big shot and goes in like the 13th round of a tough tough fight. But that's all Galindez had anyway & was kind of like that other old tough champ, Eusabio Pedroza.

 

I see Galindez overhauling an early Moorer points lead and wearing his man down late.

A fight between Victor and John Conteh would have been excellent.

 

Over a ten rounder, Moorer. Over 15 Galindez is just too tough and relentless for Moorer. He probably stops him late.

 

Brilliant matchup ! TBH I can't make up my mind here.
