Stupendous 6s Round 1 Fight 21

Two-Ton Tony Galento (3-4 2) (level 5) vs. George Godfrey – Galento had been entertaining in the previous tournament, and had snuck into this draw, though Infinity had him advancing. He rushed out to throw his signature hook, but Godfrey beat him to the punch, nailing him flush with a resounding uppercut! Tony was stunned, and George fired in a classic 5 punch combination and, just that quick, Galento was in big trouble in a small ring! Tony shook out the cobwebs and began trading punches, but Godfrey was the one to land a whistling hook! George kept punching, and then the referee jumped between the two, waving his arms. Godfrey was declared the winner by a TKO at 2:57 of the 1st.


A riot almost ensued. Tony had been behind, 24-7, but still was throwing leather, and landing some, and the crowd lustily booed what seemed like a premature stoppage! Tony was beside himself, refusing to leave the ring for about 20 minutes, but then Partial Eclipse Butterbean was able to impose his bulk and calm him down. The crowd was still restless after that officiating.
