    I used to know the official scores but my brain's getting rusty. Sorry. I'm sure it's online somewhere. It wasn't a landslide in Rocky's favour though.

    I think I'm correct in saying Louis won three of the first five rounds.After that it gradually became one way traffic.

    No

    Judge 1: 5 rounds Marciano 2 rounds Louis

    Judge 2: 4 rounds Marciano 2 rounds Louis 1 even

    Judge 3: 4 rounds Marciano 3 rounds Louis

    My scorecard: 4 rounds to 2 with 1 even, for Marciano

    Your info is incorrect see my post above

    I had it even after round 5. Louis skills and elegant left jab kept him in the fight until round 6, when Marciano took over.

    Well that's actually impossible considering two of the judges only gave Louis two of the eight rounds

    So if you do the math the best Louis could've done was even after five rounds

    Just want to clear up the false information

    I was going by Louis's autobiography and I qualified my statement by saying," I think I am correct",as in not positive. .
