Galindez’s battles with Marvin Johnson and Mike Rossman were legendary. Takes me back to my teen years.

I remember him like it was 5 years ago. He was a bruiser and had a head made of concrete but the heart of a lion. RIP Victor!

[@logicalnetwork1611]

Could agree more with you. This channel is amazing. I read boxing news and Ring magazine. But Rich is the David Attenborough of boxing.

[@genosim63]

I was born in 1963 and watched him when I was young. He was underated in my opinion. Tireless, tough, talented and courageous. He pretty much didn't lose until he moved up and got older. Could take as well give compared to just about anyone of his era. The brutal survival instincts like a Duran, Monzon, LaMotta etc;. Thanks for the great memories. 👍

[@janswart2705]

Victor Emilio Galindez is very highly regarded here in South Africa. He defended his championship here four times - v Pierre Fourie twice, v Richie Kates and v Kosie Smith. Galindez v Kates 1 is an all-time great fight

He was one of my absolute favorite fighters back in the day. The guy gave his all.

[@SUPERMAR1O0224]

Rich it’s insane how you post documentaries about fighters my coach tells stories about like Galindez, Wilfred, The Bubble Gum Warrior. I appreciate you a million!!! Im 24yrs old and getting into the sport, about a year in now. My style is a mix of all these great champions and it brings a smile to my face when you bring light to these forgotten greats. My trainer 76yrs old will be very happy when I show him this later!

[@6412mars]

Victor's heart was never in question ..a beast!

[@mikekelly607]

He was a really tough dude. Galindez reminded me a lot of Dempsey in the old fight films; nothing but hooks and uppercuts and hard as nails. The wars made him susceptible to cuts, particularly around his eyes. His scar tissue had its own scar tissue. His loss to Mike Rossman in '78 was Rossman's best fight as a pro. In their rematch 7 months later, Rossman couldn't duplicate the preparedness from the first fight. Galindez meanwhile, was in supreme shape for the rematch and was like a freakin' animal let out of his cage. Just absolute fury. Later in his career, he was forced to retire with TWO detached retinas. He went on to race cars and he and his racing partner lost their lives in Victor's very first race in a freak accident. Sad way to end a great career; only 31 when he died. Appreciate the video, thanks.

[@jeorgemanzzano3784]

Galindez would have given a beatdown to dempsey

[@czopko1]

Dempsey would havfe annialated Galendez,especially if it was a bare knuckle match.Beatdown by Dempsey for sure

[@igordrakulovic6857]

Wow what an ending to a life story. Shocking indeed. But what a vicious fighter he was and what a vicious times .. Now days these champs would ask for towel to be thrown after the first.

[@biomadnesstrip]

If you ask an argentinian fan boxer who was one of the most beloved boxers in their country, theyll answer Victor "El Leopardo de Moron" Galindez. He had the skills and power but most important, he was humble and not violent with his friends and family. Perhaps not as good as many others but he won our hearts with his fights.

[@logicalnetwork1611]

I disagree with you. Galindez was a great boxer. He had a good reign as world champion. He was not as great as Archie Moore, Bob Foster or Michael Spinks but a great boxer nonetheless.

[@guanchankey]

@@logicalnetwork1611 There is a problem with the word moron, in Buenos Aires there is a town called Morón, which can be confused with the English word moron=idiot.

[@mrgallagher7072]

I vividly remember watching Galindez/Rossman 2 with my dad, I was 14. He had 3 of his golden gloves buddies over they may have had a beer or 8. It was awesome. Wish he was here to enjoy this with me. RIP Dad, love you

[@tmapool]

Galindez was my favorite LH from that golden age of Mike Spinks, Marvin Johnson, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Yaqui Lopez, John Conteh, and James Scott Thank you so much for these videos. They're treasures!

[@bh1422]

Victor Galindez vs. Richie Kates is still one of the greatest fights witnessed in a South African squared circle. The amount of blood The Animal lost in that fight one would have thought he was warranted a blood transfusion. Referee Stanley Christodoulou's bloodied shirt is on display in our hall of fame and one can only appreciate what Galindez endured to win when they've seen it with their own eyes. What a champion he was.

Good job Rich for making the documentary on Victor Galindez, who belong in the Golden Age of the Light Heavyweights. Fun fact: I shared the same birthday as Galindez, who would have been 74 this year had his life doesn't cut too short by a race car accident. Anyways, I admired and respected Galindez as one of the warriors of Argentina and the golden age of the light heavyweights. Hope you make documentaries on Marvin Johnson and Dwight Muhammad Qawi.

Happy to see that Rich is still THAT GUY when it comes to the best boxing mini-docs on YT. I remember my father (sleep in peace) telling me back in the day that Ricardo Mayorga reminded him of a much smaller Victor Galindez. Wow - I see it now. Definitely. The whole attitude. Being half Argentine I can tell you this - the best Argentine fighters have these two qualities 99% of the time - seriously explosive power and an iron clad jaw - straight up Rich, you already know. Thx for all these awesome vids Rich, no other boxing channel even comes close. BTW - moving with my wife and my mom to Argentina next year - inherited a big piece of land and some money, can take care of lots of family. It's just a totally different vibe.

[@sylezmakefightz9727]

Carlos Monzon was 100% Native American from the Mocovi Tribe, a Native American tribe exclusive to the country of Argentina 🇦🇷 who belonged to the " Guaycuru " group, a group of rather tall Native americans since some of those tribes could be as tall as 175cm when the Spaniard conquered them. As i responded in another comment, Argentina is a Huge Country with a vast majority of Native American groups still and before the Spaniards arrived there were more than 100 types of différent tribes... And as you said, Argentina, Chile had/Have Native Americans Tribes of insanely strong people among others. Most notable Argentine Boxers were Super WW ( Julio César Velasquez ) MiddleWeight ( Carlos Monzon ) or Light Heavy Weight ( Victor Emilio Galindez, Jorge Ahumada etc.. ) etc ...

What a freak accident, I didn’t know that at all regarding Galindez..The light heavy devision sure has had some great boxers over years but has always been a unglamorous devision unfortunately. Galindez had a perfect style for professional boxing, no real grace or text book boxing but he could really fight, brawl boxing I call it. Exciting to watch because he had a little vulnerability at times, boxing is such a difficult sport to keep motivated for all the times, especially once you have made a decent amount of money.

[@charternicholson9933]

This is such a straight forward documentary. His career was a chaotic, fantastic mess. His heart out weighed his skill...but his talent carried him to the top...the champs he beat makes him a HOF without question.. He fought inside better then everyone in todays game... His title reign was very long (10) defenses.. by todays standards it might have lasted 5 years.......and too regain the title over Rossman was shocking...Marvin Johnson, a much better technical fighter, picked him a part in the end, to take the second title reign to a quick ending. When you no longer can spend 100 hours or more in the gym you give the world champ edge up. This man was a legend...Rich this was a tough close video, I do not have any knowledge of the incident at all that took his life, but speculation does remain this was not an accident. Probably not even boxing related if it did... I love the LHW of the 70's/80's Victor Galindez you are amazing.....Thank you for your fights...
