Was Marciano-Walcott a one punch KO?

Walcott slowed in the 10th and increasingly retreated to the ropes to save his legs,the punches that had been just missing him commenced to land solidly.

 

Has anyone bothered to even vote here, I haven't, you seem to be arguing with yourself ,maybe you have too much time on your hands.

 

Best right hand ever thrown...of course it was a one punch KO!!! The left that followed it was strictly window dressing!! Rock could carry his power into the later rounds...especially after the pounding he took for the previous 12 rounds...

 

Let me guess....Mcvey, Seamus....hegrant

 

It's on YouTube mate. It's a KO sequence I've seen many many times myself.

 

Re-enactment.

 

We know what way you would vote Mongoose.I haven't voted ,can't be a*sed!

 

This.

Call it what you want, but it took Rocky 12+ rounds of work to get that punch to connect with that effect. If you call that a one punch KO, then OK. If you call that a great wearing out process of an older, shopworn fights, then OK. But if you are content to base your analysis on slow motion highlights of the final round, then you are a simp.

This is not to diminish what Marciano did. He was first and foremost a grinder, one of the greatest in that mold, an attrition fighter who had zero quit and pitbull focus.

 

But surely rez, with out getting in to a argument about it the previous twelve rounds had some effect on Walcott. I'm not disputing the marciano punch that took him. That's plain to see, have to be blind not to. But I do believe the punishment on a 37 years old body from a tank like rocky must have contributed to that last punch having the effect it did. He did the same thing to Louis , Charles, Moore etc.

 

Same here. I love the rock! Could watch his fight s all the time. But it was a accumulated load of punishment from marciano that broke down Jersey Joe. Then finally in the 13 th the punch knocked out the remaining resistance. But I ain't taking anything away from marciano , cos the guys a legend.

 

Re-enactment . I love it

 

Was it a better right hand than the one Louis threw that drove Braddock's teeth through his mouthpiece?
The one Louis threw that broke Uzcudun's bridgework and left his gold teeth on the canvas like a charm bracelet?
The one Louis threw that made giant Buddy Baer do a perfect pirouette before collapsing?
Or this one? Hearns decapitating Duran.

Do you have a source for that claim?

 

Why are people quibbling over semantics.

If you can show a fighter who has his lights switched out by a single shot it is a 1 punch ko. Regardless of what came before hand.

Walcott v Charles. Rocky v Walcott. Robinson v Fullmer. Hearns v Duran. Jackson v Graham. Benn v that guy who threw a 20 punch combo at him.

Wearing someone down before hand makes them more susceptible to that one punch but it's still the shot that ends the fight.

Would that same punch have cleaned his clock on the first round? Would it have even landed in the first round? Both irrelevant points imo.

If you can create a highlight segment showing the one punch finish then it is a one punch finish.
