    Tony Galento used his thumbs and head together with brute strength.
    One of his favoured tricks was to wrap his meaty left paw round an opponents neck and pound him with his right uppercut.
    He effectively ended Lou Nova's career after he battered him for 14 rounds closing both of Nova's eyes in the process with the help of his thumbs.
    Being the great man he was though, Galento never complained when he got a beating

    Yeah you're right, although, and I'm not trying to be flippant, poor Collins had already felt enough.

    Larry Gains " In any other world, he could be mistaken for a dude, he wore a silk dressing gown, hair greased, and parted down the middle, and his face was heavily powdered, but once the bell went, everything went with Harry, he would headbutt you in the clinches, rake your eyes with either hand, step on your feet, and no one was better in the game than holding with one hand and hitting with the other, but the thing with Harry was, you could do the same to him,he gave no quarter. and asked no quarter " Mmmm, who could he mean.....
    stay safe guys.

    Kabary Salem. Filthy. I mean that in the worst way. His tactics killed a guy in the ring. No matter. He continued on like nothing happened. Always rooted for his head to get caved in.

    Jesus I never heard of this guy but he's accused of murdering his own daughter, too.
