There is the certainty, on the other hand, that Louis will be the cool, merciless executioner he has ever been in his determination to punch Tough Tony" into pulp in record time.
Louis was forced into the bout with Galento because of the burly Italian-American's taunts that the negro is "just a bum,"
Despite recent reports that Louis looked very slow and stale in his last week of training. the negro is avy favourite.
Galento has only himself to blame for drawing a smaller gate than originally expected for his barn-storming tour of the United States, when he appeared in bouts with sparring partners, proved a complete failure Galento won all his last seven bouts by knockouts, finishing off Nathan Mann, Harry Thomas, Otis Thomas. Dick Daniels, Jorge Brescia, N: Brown and Abe Feldman.
Louis, on the other hand. won out of seven bouts by the short route. He knocked out in the first round Schmeling, Lewis and Roper, his last three victims.
Galento is given very little chance of winning. He is a murderous hitter. but he is wide open and has practically no idea of defensive tactics. But his powerful left swings have the force to pole-axe a bull and if he ever lands—it will be too bad for Louis.—United Press
