Referee Arthur Donovan halted the contest two minutes and twen- ty nine seconds after the opening of the fourth round, after Louis, ex- ploding his twe fisted dynamite with full fury had blasted Tony to his knees in helpless submission, Tony's face bloody. Up Before Count Louis had dropped Galento for the ne count in the second round and himself had been put on the canvas in the third round, but he too arose before the referee could start to count. Louis weighed 200% pounds and Galento weighed 233% pounds. Wild Slugfest While the fight lasted, it was one of the wildest slugging and tough- est battles the heavyweight cham- pion has had since he won the title from old Jim Braddock. Galento’s great chance came in the third round when he dropped Louis to the seat of his pants with a short right upper cut to the chin and a left to the midsection. The champion got up and man- aged to stave off Galento's rush for the remainder of the round, and with that Tony’s hopes came to an end, Wants Return Fight Despite the beating he tcok, Tony only took time to get back to his dressing room before shouting for a return match. “If my handlers had let me fight my own fight, I never would have been cut.” Galento roared “I want a return fight in September. I'll get him.” Two Bad Cuts ‘Tony’s most serious injury ap- pears to be a cut over the left eye, also a nasty cut on the mouth. Louis on the contrary hardly had | slowed Tony down.
