1939 Photograph of Tony Galento sending the Brown Bomber Joe Louis to his corner and on defense during their fight for the championship. One of the more colorful fighters of his era, Galento predicted victory over Louis and seemed confident, but the nation was still shocked when he knocked the champion down. Louis would have the last laugh with a knock out, but Galento cemented his place in history with the powerful showing. Condition is quite nice with a few pinholes and the image is rare.
