58 Years Since Marciano v Walcott

I remember it like it was yesterday.....

 

I was ringside in the Garden that night, R

 

Wow. I envy you

Did you see "the punch"?


Thanks for this by the way Rooster!!

 

how old are you John?

 

The '53 rematch sure as hell was a dud........ Walcott took his sweet ass time getting up after being dumped by Marciano's upppercut in round 1....... Had I been ringside for that fiasco, I'd have left the arena pretty pissed.......

Not only saw it, r, heard the crack.

 

74, j

 

Bull**** -- that was the fastest 10 count in the history of boxing!

 

The PUNCH for all boxing eternity...bar none!

 

Do you recall round 5??

Out of all the 13 rounds, this one mere round is not on film compete, just a HL of it.

 

I seen footage of it with a stop watch, and it nearly matchs the time, it was not a fast or slow count.

 

I'll take your word for it, but I just watched that fight the other day, and I thought, "Damn! that count was fast!"

 

Possible.?.? But some say "Ali-Foreman" by Zack Clayton was the fastest count in history... Who knows?
:yep

MR.BILL

 

What was your reaction to the first round? Did people in the audience think The Rock was gonna lose? There were some scary moments in this fight.
