How did ****ell survive Marciano's flush power punches??

It's because your distorted twisted logic won't allow yourself to entertain the thought that ****ell is taking a hell of a punch in that clip.

There is no space in your mind to give him credit for it.

Nor is there space in your mind to give credit to Marciano for dealing those vicious blows on the head.

Hopefully I helped you solve this mystery you're struggling with.

 

C0ckell was taking punishment like a man possessed.
Marciano wasn't as sharp as he should have been, but all credit to C0ckell.

 

Mental toughness. He's fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world, he's in the zone. He's putting every ounce of his will into it.

Also, Marciano wasn't quite as sharp or powerful as he was against some better opponents. He was mentally a little off, lacking as far as motivation.

 

Pretty much how I see it. Taking a punch is one thing, having he heart to keep going is another. This was ****rell's big moment. He didn't take the easy way out!

You could say Marciano should have stopped him a bit sooner.

 

The greatest compliment that you can pay a fighter is to criticise him for knocking out a ranked contender.

How many years did we have to wait, to see the lineal champion face off against the #2, before Wlad consolidated?

 

All the posts and pages going back and forth and the one truly significant post in the thread gets ignored

There's no more to it than this. As stated almost every great puncher has "that" guy. Or even more than one.

 

****ell doesn't go 9 rds with Tyson and anyone with half a brain knows it.

 

This translates into EXCUSE!

 

Tyson took six rounds to fight stop a far less mobile ( and much fatter ) Brian Neilsen in 2001.

 

And Tyson was then a ,34 years old, washed up ,ex champion.

Stupid ****ogy.

 

The level of assumptions in this thread is too d*** high!
