    Pretty shock that such a highly rank contenders death would be this SLOW.

    Hell I rember when Harry Kid Matthews past away, The news past the next day.

    This is a little over a month.

    How can you know with out footage???


    The reporters were pretty split even even on it, and some even agree with Marciano knock down LarSarza in round 4, that give Marciano the points to pull off the victory in a very close fight.

    I cant say one way or other.

    I was thinking about Roland the other day and how as one of the last, if not THE last Rocky Marciano opponent left alive, he wasn't on tv, doing interviews more?

    Another link to a golden era of boxing has past

    RIP
