Max Baer throwing hammerfists   Message List

Re: Max Baer throwing hammerfists

Here is another clip of Baer fighting Tony Galento in 1940. You can
see galento making a few attempts at backhanded blows that miss...not
a peep outta the ref so we can assume that up until at least 1940
there was no rule against them.

You'll see that Galento has a pretty unique style....did he really
almost beat Joe Louis at some point?

Hmm, no kidding? Ok, so what's YOUR take on the backfist? Obviously Mr. Baer used 'em to rather fine effect. Do you teach their use when you go over Classical...

... Sweet. Though, if I may be nitpicky it looked more like a backfist than a hammerfist to me. Not a whole lot of difference I suppose. Thanks for the clip!...
