    You made Rocky look like a technical genius. Whats the matter with you cherry picker?

    You've just made at least five posters "most wanted" list. Good luck. Youre gonna need a helmet.

    Seriously through, great work.

    Excellent fight and great review, I absolutely love how you break it down. You highlighted how akward Marciano was and how his technique was used to get inside his opponent.

    Moore was outstanding. Despite his age, he was simply amazing. I have to say he was his great self during this fight, Marciano was fighting a defensive master, and a fantastic counter puncher who had power.

    Marciano took some real shots and then just beat down Moore with sheer intensity. I like how you mentioned how best to hit Rocky, while he was coming in and throwing the hooks. I also love how you caught his pulling Moores head down and then he smashed him with his famous Suzie Q.

    Great analysis.

    One suggestion is to keep the swearing down to a minimum. Your coverage is outstanding and you don't need to swear , it takes away from your approach. Be intense and professional and you may find your channel growing.

    Looking forward to the next video.

    No fighter has ever been moderately successful at world level, for no reason!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. The swearing has become a bit divisive, some really love the informality and the way it's more a couple of friends watching a fight as opposed to me doing a **** poor Lampley/Merchant impression. Also at this point, I don't script anything or do any real research before I watch these fights. Excepting this one of course since I had also writen an article on the fight.

    Not to say that professionalism doesn't have it's place, my writing has gotten far better since I began my articles and I'm sure in time I will become much more comfortable on camera as well.

    Beautiful breakdown. I still don't know how Moore took such a beating, defensive mastermind. I don't think Rocky quite knew what he was doing for civil rights lol, he was just a good person and respected Moore

    Good work. Rocky def wanted Moore to stay on defense so he really picked up the pace come like round 4. Fight now a days prob gets stopped in the mid rounds somewhere.

    This video shows that Rocky obviously had no power in his punches. A REAL HW would have ko'd Moore with the first shot. Rocky merely Kockelled him to the canvas.


    Lol.

    Great find, for me Marciano was a great fighter & not just a brutal brawler, very smart man who made his disadvantages work for him but as was said in this was a lot of it was God given, not many could crouch so low like a baseball catcher (strong Legs) & his unorthodoxity worked against rythym fighters & broke their rythym. He was also gifted with a tremendous will & courage & determination. The working ethic was also extremley impressive. Marciano is high on my top 40-50 of favorite fighters all for different reasons. also on my list

    Plus, as we have discussed before, Rocky had a bad back by the time of the Moore fight. Just how many guys with a bad back are going to beat Archie anyway? A bad back is almost a certain guarantee to lose.
