heavyweight, in a scheduled 10

Galento will be an odds-on favorite to
whip Herman, an oldSter as fighters

Herman was alleged to be the only
scrapper of nearly 20 approached to
accept this bout with Galento here,
which may be taken as sign of the
respect the heavies hold for Tony's
punching power. Packing in the
neighborhood of 230 pounds on a s.
foot 6-inch frame, Galento, unlike
most fat boys is surprisingly fast and
holds knockouts over such as Red
Barry, Matte Brown, Battling Bozo,
Ted Sandwina. Pietro Corri, K. o.

Barry, at the peak of a build-up,
was fattened in minute in the semi
final ofN the Max Eaer-Max Schmeling
card last Summer. Brown, who lasted
only two rounds against Tony in one
scrap and outpointed him in another,
ranks the New Jersey clouter as by
far the hardest hitter he has ever
met. Among those Brown has op-
posed. incidentally. is Max Baer,
whose own punching is not mild.
