Lloyd Marshall destroys Freddie Mills

Amen. Moore, as I wrote in "The Sixth God of War" remembered them. And though he usually recognized Burley and Booker as the best fighters he ever faced, he also recognized Chase as part of that elite group. This was his answer to reporters who only had Marciano on their mind.

He was so gracious. If I had the time to really look into it, I'd like to recognize those individuals who have acted as torch-bearers for MR. I think that the man at the top could well be...

Archie Moore.

Followed by Eddie Muller, Eddie Futch, Budd Schulberg, and Jim Murray.

 

Don't forget Eddie Futch.

 

what a gem! marshal shows a lot of class here. marshal was title material. with mills's opertunities marshal would no doubt have been a short term champion.very very smooth. intrestingly I dont think mills is so overmatched here, its an awful night for him and a bad start but mills is not out of his depth.
I am a big fan of freddie mills, I read his autobiography and another book about his and randy turpins lives and strange deaths which i thoroughly recomend. Mills does apear to have trouble with his vision in this fight. freddie was a talent himself but a "damaged talent" if that makes any sence. Mills was shopworn and gifted in the same breath. He had power and durability, a knack of landing prety unorthadox and unco-ordinated blows against very good fighters. Hes not a great fighter but a worthy b list champion all the same. At his own weight mills at his best was good enough to win one of every 3 fights against the best. sometimes that one win in 3 is a title fight and thats how a lot of fighters who sell a lot of tickets become champion.
