	Tony Galento - Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Galento, a dirty fighter who would deliberately head-butt, gouge, low-blow, and elbow his opponents, was one of the toughest men ever to box professionally.
		A bar-owner, Tony made much of his lack of training, which might consist of him posing for photographers quaffing down a brew at his bar, or wrestling with a rubber car tire suspended from a tree that had been a child`s swing before Tony picked it as a sparring partner.
		Galento, who out-weighed Louis by 33 pounds, started the fight by bullying the discomfited World`s Heavyweight Champion in the first round, almost sending him to the canvas with a left hook.

	The story of a New Jersey bartender's one night of glory - The Boston Globe
		Most important, Galento won the first round, surprising Louis with what Monninger calls "a left hook that had half his life behind it." And then, in Round 3, he knocked the champion down.
		Not only did Galento gouge the eyes of his opponents with his thumbs, he insulted Louis and his family in a series of vile midnight phone calls.
		Monninger also recognizes that whatever he (and we) might imagine that Galento's triumphant few seconds in the ring on that night in 1939 might have signified, when Donovan had finally called a halt to the mismatch, Galento's corner men were unable to revive him for five frightening minutes.
