    Absolutely brilliant find! Marciano is obviously reading from a script but he was a first class commentator and reader of fights when improvising ,the Robinson v Basilo fight is a shining example! .No conceit about him, he was totally free of bull sh*t,and could be disarmingly self deprecating , an honest,regular guy.Louis thought he won the first 3 rounds,after that he began to wind down.Rocky's stance of leaning to his right obviously helped him evade Louis' less than prime right hand . A bit of magic, thanks very much for this!:applaudit:
