This Contest in any way??
If WARRIOR NIGEL was Minded in The Slightest- NONE of PALLO's 'Offence'
Would have 'Amounted' to Anything 'Effective' Whatsoever!
How could This Be 'Put Over'/Promoted as a Proper Fight??

MAIN MASK
I saw Zimba v Pallo at what was then the cinema in Newport, IW, many years ago. I thought it a decent match/show, although, as suggested, Pallo was the winner.
And no prizes for guessing that Pallo probably won.
My understanding is that McManus and Pallo wrestled the likes of Kirkwood,
Czeslaw, Joynson and Zimba to underline their superiority over the middleweights. Each fought the much heavier Ricki Starr and Quasimodo at the Albert Hall.
I agree with your sentiments Main Mask. Don't think we should get too het up about it. Jump back into your Tardis to the 1960s. Would you have thought mismatch? Or would you have thought now there's a chance for this big head to get his come-uppance? And hand over your money. I would.
