Max Baer -vs- Tony Galento 1940 (16mm transfer)

[Kedbuka]

Baer was one of the most interesting and funny characters in boxing history. What a cool guy...

[brabon1]

did baer take this fight seriously at all?

he was talking more smack than ali did in his fights

3:24 Max is saying "Get the fuck off me you fat bum!!!" Lmfao

[LelandnSonya4eva]

Baer annihilated him. Gallento was a big fat clumsy classless fat ass bum!!!!! He has no place in the heavyweight rankings.

Tony was strong, he had heavy hands and a good chin, and he needed that good chin, because he had zero defense. And I do mean zero. His idea of defense was to stop incoming punches with his face. Had he actually learned how to box, he could have been a dangerous fighter.

Tony wasn't fat, he was big boned. Up the arse.

It's also good to see Baer get some of his own back. He was quite a dirty fighter too (see the Schmeling fight among others, where he kept pushing S into the ropes or back hitting him), so he met someone who fought as dirty as he did or more so.

Max Baer was a clown, that's all he was. But still, I'm glad he beat the shit out of that fat bastard.
