Wepner vs Galento battle of da bums

You can actually find this on youtube. I just saw it a few weeks ago. I can't remember if that was the type of punch but I do remember Liston did put Wepner down on a body shot, though he claims the only time he was knocked off his feet was Ali. Total BS. The youtube fight is not posted in full. I sat and watched through the fight with no sound and not the best footage with the thought it was, but they cut out the last round for no apparent reason. If I could remember the round this happens, I'd tell you but I can't.

 

Galento can actually land hard punches as opposed to the ugly mauling style that Wepner has. Wepner bleeds his way outta the match.

 

:goodgalento was better then olivier:good

 

I don't think that either Chuck Wepner nor Tony Galento were bums. They actually went through phases in their careers where they were pretty good fighters. At anyrate, I pick Galento to knockout Wepner. Might be a competitve fight for the first few rounds, but I think Tony hit too hard, and probably had better skills as well.

 

I haven't seen that movie in probably 20 years, but it was a classic. My high school composition teacher had us watch it in class, then write a report on it.. Marlon Brando was execellent in it. Very good film.

 

Galento was a much better fighter than Wepner and Tony had a punch, Tony beat a lot of the murderers row Black Heavyweights of the era and was no Bum. I seen Wepner fight live many times and I must say he was slow, had no power,Bleed worse than Enry Cooper but was a tough taker......Galento was a much better fighter and classes higher

 

there was no quit in wepner when he fancied it. galento was genuinly one of the best heavyweights of his era and extremly dangerous against anyone even within the rules. Tony was a real serious threat. wepner was a tough second tier guy who could barely "hold his own" if he stepped up. great characters but difrent levels.
