Would anyone pick Tony Galento to whup Ron Lyle?

Yep, Galento’s dirty tactics would def. bring out the “No prisoners” prison in Ron.

The Fat Man gets splattered in < 6 rounds. A lawful beat down.

Of course, post fight Galento laments that he would’ve won IF they had just let him fight “his” fight -

“Sure Tony, we get it, but your fight (read:taking a baseball bat into the ring to use on your opponent) simply isn’t allowed.”

A well beaten Galento also doesn’t waver on having called Lyle a bum before the fight, but after the fight, he does qualify Ronnie as a “lucky” bum.

Max Baer, sitting next to Galento at the post fight IV, high on weed and wearing the “tell tale” concealing shades, laughs like a hyena at Galento’s quip.

Postscript: Ron and Tony never become friends after the fact of their fight. Far from it…..

 

You’d need 7200 stitches to sew up Galento s belly.

 

Take this as you will, but Jerry Quarry’s biographer said that the only source for that and the supposed 36 blood transfusions and being pronounced dead actually happening is Lyle … I actually did some research and the online sources all basically attribute it to Lyle, they provide no hospital or prison records for confirmation (if anyone has any such official documentation, please share) … and insinuated that Lyle was a BS artist who exaggerated things to seem like more of a badass.

Full disclosure, Quarry didn’t like Lyle and Gil Clancy who was in Quarry’s corner that night told the biographer that Quarry was toying with Lyle and that he told Quarry to go out in the last round “and just have fun” because he was so in control of the fight. I don’t know if that skewed the biographer.
