    you got to remember Layne was 34-1-1 and had beaten the man he lost and drew to and by KO. Layne got off the canvas to beat Bob Satterfield so he passed the chin test and Nat Fleischer called him the next Dempsey and next champion. The Marciano KO severed Laynes front teeth at the nubs and it was a short solid right hand, a one punch bob that ruined Rex ....good solid KO and win at the time of that crossroad fight.

    Hi Suzie

    You are giving us links to very, very wellknown fight on YouTupe.

    Can´t you find some other interesting fights for us? We all know the usual ones and have them in our collections.

    No, "we all" don't: I have seen this particular one but there are new fans all the time who might be interested in history.

    If you've already seen it and don't want to discuss it or watch the link, please don't discourage them from being posted so others who haven't yet discovered them can enjoy.

    As you have the collection, perhaps you could post some of the more interesting ones that haven't been posted?
