    Right hand to the jaw which disfigured Jersey Joe Walcott's face as shown in the actual photo taken at the time of impact in round 13 on Sept 23 1952. Or is there going to be another conspiracy like the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20 1969, or like the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov 22 1963?

    LOL! This is what you get if you question the Moon Landing. I would like to think that Buzz called it his Lunar Shot.

    At the end of the ninth round, Marciano had set Walcott up for a right hand punch just as he would in the thirteenth. The punch landed, it was clean and hard, but Walcott dropped his hands as though to suggest that he wasn't hurt. For a moment, both fighters looked at each other, then Marciano tried to follow up. There was some inconclusive mauling until the round ended. In the thirteenth, I think that Marciano wanted to follow up the right with a left hook, not to let this advantage pass as it had in the ninth, but pulled the punch almost as he threw it, realizing that Walcott was already out.

    Nice right! Maybe if Buzz followed up with a left he would have got the KO like Rocky.

    Yes, good form. The other guy was a whack job. Even if Old Buzz gave him the slipper, I might’ve turned a blind eye to it. One small kick for Man,….”
