Marciano takes this one. If Ez Charles could not last i do not see the more how the more aggressive Usyk makes it. Usyk will be dominant until rocky starts to wear him down. Usyk is going to get hit and hit often. With the power Marciano has I cannot see even the great Usyk shrugging off those shots for long. Usyk will not run all night, its not in his make-up, he will make a war. With the mindset of a warrior Usyk goes down in 11 rounds.
Would be an excellent fight. Picking Marciano in a 15 rounder but he losses a decision in a 12. Usyk doesn’t moves in a way that I don’t think Marciano would find difficult to connect with.
Marciano was blinded by his own corner,a collision of heads unintentionally cause by Marciano left Walcott with a cut above his eye and Rocky with a cut in his hairline. Al Weill was in Rocky's corner going crazy and giving everyone the heebie jeebies . A salve was put on both Walcott's cut and Rockys,Rocky's corner hit, the salve with a wet sponge,a no no,and the solution trickled into his eyes. This is verified by Sam Silverman the promoter of many of Rocky's fights,who was sitting just below Rocky's corner."Weill had everyone in the corner going crazy ,they blinded the poor kid themselves". Freddie Brown, brought in on a fight by fight basis saved the day and Rocky's title. He washed the eyes out with little cold water pads until they cleared themselves. The odds didn't shift Rocky began as favourite and when the fight began he was still favourite.
Charles lasted 15 rds in their first fight. I don't think he will need to run,Marciano would be bleeding like a stuck pig by the half way mark.imo Usyk has shrugged off shots from men who hit harder than Marciano and with 50lbs more muscle behind them.
Marciano came forward in a half crouch leaning to his right,that would be tailor made for Usyk's fast straight left,Usyk slices and dices Rocky until the referee rescues Rocky. The next day everyone says," well Marciano was always overated." And they would be the same people who were praising him to the skies before the fight,just as they have recently done withAJ,Fury, and Dubois.
