Vito Antuofermo Vs Tony Zale

Zale would kill him! Vito ( who I like) has nothing at a ll to hold Tony off or slow him down. Zale would bury his fists up to the elbows in Vito's body and tear his head off. A true killing.

 

Zale, probably by stoppage.

 

Vito was cagey with a terrific chin and may last but Zale was a beast ..

 

You are sooo right on. That goes for Jake Lamotta too, Zale would end his career within 5 rds. Tony Zale was just too tough!

 

If they wasn't in Congress, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worst!

 

Zale for me. Works him over pretty good

 

Great avatar! Mine is the book I just got that just came out this month.

 

I'll be ordering immediately!! I have every other book on Frazier. Must complete the collection

 

The Man Of Steel Tony Zale was one tough son of a gun in the ring with no quit in him. Vito Antuoferno was tough too, especially the way he mauled and brawled the title away from Hugo Corro in 1979. The two would most likely battle in the center of the ring, neither taking a step back in the early going. By mid fight, trainer Ray Arcel would advise his fighter to step up a larger body attack on Antuofermo, then to his face which is starting to show wear and tear from the blows of Zale. A huge gash and exhaustion spells the end for Vito in round 13.

 

Oh yes! I loved Mark Kram Jrs book Smokin' Joe last yr. Along with Dempsey and Ty Cobb and the 70s Raiders and Steelers, I have more on Joe than anyone else in my collection.

 

I like Jake to decision Zale in a barn burner.

 

Tony Zale's manager and trainer was Sam Pian and co-manager Art Winch. Ray Arcel, was a great trainer and cut man, who worked with all the great fighters, and knew very well who was the best. Of course he most likely did work with Zale. I have corresponded with him on several occasions. A Great lost to the fight game.

 

Thank you for the info, great info.

 

Vito would look like he was in a car crash. Zale would have put a merciless beating on him...maybe even having him down before the ref steps in.
