Jim Maloney (2-0 1) vs. Tony Galento (2-0 1)- Maloney had ridden 2 last round knockdowns to a unanimous decision over Hein Ten-Hoff. Galento had won by DQ over Henry Akinwande, a bout in which Henry had been out-thumping Tony and had a KD, and, sorry to say, had been out-fouling Tony, which resulted in 2 separate point deductions and the disqualification

!

Maloney came in looking a bit over-trained. Needless to say, Two Ton didn’t. Train was something you rode, or something you did every now and then

. Still smarting and angry from the beating Akinwande had been giving him, Tony opened the fight with a sizzling signature hook, followed by a smashing uppercut, and Maloney suddenly was in trouble! Tony kept hooking, winning emphatically, 17-2.

Maloney landed a number of times in the 2nd, but Tony had his hook whistling, time after time. One with some Chinese mustard on it hurt Maloney, and another sneaky uppercut sealed the round, 12-6. Tony’s big hook again had Jim reeling early in the 3rd, but he came back later with a rapier right cross. Tony, who was missing more frequently in this round, may have got the nod, 9-8.

Tony faked upstairs and hammered Maloney downstairs with a hook to start the 4th, and big Jim hit the floor

. He got up, wobbly, at the count of 8, and Galento moved in for the kill. Landing 46 punches total, 21 being hooks, Tony savaged Maloney, but Jim withstood the beating, albeit dropping the round, 24-2!

Galento had pretty much ruled the fight thus far but, early in the 5th, he was sent flying to the canvas

! The crowd was shocked, but the ref ruled that the fall was from a push, so no knockdown occurred. Tony got up, angry, and threw a haymaker. Maloney stepped inside, ducked and fired a thunderous cranium-crusher, and Tony was now reeling for real!

Big Jim seized on his opportunity and slammed Tony with a left, followed by a series of punches. Tony looked almost helpless, generating no offense, and a blistering cross near the end of the round sent him into the ropes

! The bell sounded, and he used his sailor’s legs to wobble to his corner, down 26-0. The complexion of the fight had suddenly changed!

Tony was back under control in the 6th, and fighting more cautiously. Jim tried to take him out with a cross, but Tony beat him to the punch with a signature hook to the belly! They circled and Tony shocked Maloney with a straight right. Maloney’s right eye was swelling badly, he was dead on his feet, and another hook found his stomach. Desperate, he rallied in the last minute with a series of blows, culminating with a crushing cross, at least making the round respectable, 15-10!

Maloney boxed nicely for the first 2 minutes of the 7th, rebounding after a smoking cross, and was leading. Then Tony, who had banged home 13 hooks, went upstairs twice with uppercuts, taking another round, 19-11, and Maloney’s swollen eye was becoming a liability.

Tony was tired coming out for the 8th, and the first minute seemed like it lasted a week, as neither fighter did anything but clinch. Tony unleashed a sonic hook to the body, and the fight suddenly perked up, even as Jim crumbled and fell

. Up at the count of 3, he walked right into another superman hook, then dropped like a shot after a wild overhand right landed flush on his jaw

! He climbed up to his feet at the count of 8, using the rope for leverage, and somehow assured the ref he was fit to fight. Galento banged his gloves together and moved in, quicker than Maloney could back up. Faking with his left hand, Tony uncorked a giant cross, and Maloney went down for the third time! He was back up at the count of 8, but this time the ref wasn’t fooled, and Galento was awarded a TKO at 2:47 of the 8th! Jersey-Jim and his many other fans went wild, as their man had won convincingly this time, not through some fluke.

He had pounded away relentlessly, cutting Maloney down to size with hook after hook, and the occasional uppercut or cross. There’s an old saying. “You don’t trod on Superman’s cape. You don’t spit into the wind. You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, and you don’t mess with Tony who ain’t slim! Bump-bump-bum!”

Tony moves on to the Elite Eight, where he’ll meet the winner of the Weaver-Risko bout! The Bear-less Galento fan club is pictured below:
