 New York, May 14.-(UP)-Tony Galento, the fat tavern-keeper of Orange, N. J., who trains on beer and big, black cigars, climbed up on a rubbing table deep in Madison Square Garden, beat his chest in Tarzan-like fashion and beloved:
 "1'll knock Baer out. want Beer. I'll knock out Tommy Farr too. I'll knock Louis out. I'll knock 'em all out-quickl"
 And Two Ton" Tony meant what he said. For, only few minutes before he had knocked out rugged Nathan Mann of New Haven after two minutes, four seconds of fight ing in the second round of 8 sched- uled ten-rounder last night at Madi- son Square Garden before crowd of 9,1S0.
 Better Than Champ
 Joe Louis, the heavyweight cham pion, fought Mannin the same ring on Feb. 9 and needed seven min- utes, and 56 seconds-l:56 of the third round-to turn the same trick.
 Some of the "experts" gathered in Galento's madhouse dressing room snickered at Tony's boasts-just as they had when he predicted he would kayo Mann. Others thought maybe Tony had something-be- cause he showed last night that his punch is probably the most danger ous in the business today.
 Mike Jacobs, who promoted the show, will confer with Galento,s manager, Joe Jacobs today, regard ing Tony's next performance. Prob ably he will fight Maxie Baer, the former champion, in July with the winner to get shot either in Sep- tember or next June at the winner of the Schmeling Louis title fight on June 22.
 After the victory, Galento sped with host of friends back to his Orange, N. J. pub and last reports had 1t that the taps, as usual after a Galento triumph, were wide open and that the lager flowed through the night.
 Tony only was reirstated by the commission two weeks ago after he had been suspended for refusing to shift his training activities from the rear of 8 pool hall to a reputable camp. Another factor that figured In his suspension was his penchant for having himself photographed in ring togs while guzzling steins of beer and smoking cigars. But all that was forgotten last night as Tony scored his greatest triumph in his first major New York appearance. Mann, weighing 19lN, had the edge over his 232-pound, paunchy opponent in the first round. He opened 8 slight cut over Tonys lip and from then on the sparse- haired Jerseyite looked like he had a red mustache.
 Then, in the second round, Mann made the mistake of trying to rough 1t up with hihs opponent. Tony, an- gered because Mann had lasted one round. bent over into a crouch and moved in like mad boar. Swish and Galentos left hook flashed to Mates jaw. Mann was knocked through the ropes near a neutral corner and took count of nine.
 On His Knees
 Galento went to the opposite cor ner. AS Mann rose, he numbered across the ring, and with the mo- mentum of his beefy frame behind him, let go an awkward right. Mann went down to the canvas-got to his knees and was just ready to get up on his feet when Referee Arthur Donovan tolled the fatal "l0 and out"
 That was the end of Mann--the 23-year-old clean living Connecti- cut farmer boy.
