Terrific Pre-Fight Interviews, Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marciano ..

Thanks for posting.

Ezzard is one of my favourite fighters (as is Rocky) and this is the first time I can recall hearing him talk. Was pleasing to see he came across as affable, honest and reasonably articulate (in English as well as Italian).

 

Thanks for posting this!

 

Big, big, thank you buddy, I was mesmerised, Ezzard came across really well, to think by that stage he had already shared a ring with the likes of, Burley, Moore, Satterfield, Walcott, Louis, and beaten most of them, he looked so dapper, all color coded, what a gent, remarkably he looked completely unmarked, amazing !! BTW who did the face of the fellow mid reel belong to ,thinking Lloyd Marshall ? if not have we any sleuths on the forum, would be impressed if you got him.
stay safe guys.

 

No trash talking, what a nice conversation for a change!

Nice to hear Charles speak Italian.

 

Good interview, I always find it interesting the ideas of diet back then. Charles was saying how he would only eat breakfast and Dinner, lots of calorie restriction back then even for heavyweights.

 

I enjoyed that, thanks.

 

When fighters, and people in general, had class and respect for others.

 

Nobody being called a gap toothed shithouse dosser? How times have changed..

 

Thanks for posting.

 

I am sure had the fight been held today, their be a bit of smack talk to sell the fight.
