rocky marciano, film doesnt lie. hardest punches i seen him take were louis left hook at end of round 1, layne right hand in round 3, walcotts left hook in round 1, and moores right hand in round 2. I never seen marciano have rubbery leggs, stumling across the ring or anything in any of his filmed fights. never seemed on the verge of being stopped
Had it 5-5; LaPorte showed the quality and McGuigan seemed a little concerned about totally opening up, which was pretty much his style.
Mitch Green and Oliver McCall.Juan Laporte is a good call, since Sanchez and Pedroza couldn't do nothing to him, though Lockridge hit him with some nice shots, but didn't faze him in their brief fight.
Surprised no one mentioned,,,,,,,,, Ben Villaflor WBA Super-Featherwight Champion from 1972 thru 1976. The guy was Ben 'Iron Ore' Villaflor.
It had zero to do w killer instinct .. it was all about knowing he himself did not have the greatest chin and did not want a repeat of the first bout ..
SO he wasn't stunned when Walcott and Moore dropped him ? Come on ... there are clear reports that he was wobbled twice against Lowry as well ...
I know he has been knocked out before, but tyson was stunned pretty badly against holyfield in either the 2nd or 3rd round in their 1st bout. He was also hurt with a body shot in the fight, cant remember what round though
:deal very knowledgeable post :thumbsup , I wonder who else besides of sonnyboy , McCall's team , Don King and Lewis' team knew it back then .
interesting . i've seen him quit in a sparing vs tyson and going down from a really delayed reaction 2 a body shot from tyson . mccall flooring tyson never made it 2 utube though . what does it mean ?
