Was Marciano-Walcott I a one punch knockout?

How about the left hook he landed after the right hand?:think

 

Louis did better in rematches because he wasn't capable of making instant adjustments during a fight,after a close one he and Blackburn would work out a strategy
Godoy =uppercuts
Schmeling= return the left hand to the guard position after jabbing.
Marciano did better in rematches because he ground down his opponents with relentless pressure and they absorbed such a hammering most of them weren't much good afterwards.
If they were steaks ,you could say he tenderized them.:yep

Walcott went out to take the play away from Rocky, he didn't do that with Louis he skittered and changed direction doing the cake walk, he was well aware of the murder in Louis's fists and kept away from it.Plus Walcott was nearly 5 years younger when he faced Joe.

 

It was done against a old guy, who cares?

 

More to the point, I was thinking if Marciano had landed the same punch in the first, say 5 rounds, would Walcott have crumbled then?

 

Quieten down........fool......

 

I think he would always have gone down ,it was a great shot. whether a fresher Walcott might have got up who knows?

 

McVey, I think you are being disingenuous here. Walcott was already out before the left hook landed...and you know it.

 

Of course he was Rocky couldn't resist that little hook though could he?:yep

 

You're right McV...apparently when Goldman was asked about the hook he replied "he trun it for insurance!!!"

 

It was a great punch, but Marciano softened him up througout the fight. Why the obsession with with one punch knockouts though? A one punch knockout is what Rahman did to Lewis, any good puncher as a chance of scoring one of those, a systematic beatdown is a much more impressive. To claim that Marcianos win was all down to that last great punch is to sell his great preformance short. Mariciano stepped up to great challange and showed he was the tougher man that night, first he broke Walcott's spirit, then he broke his body.

 

It was a wonderfully timed right hand, probably the result of fatigue as Walcott was slow to counter. After having a good twelfth "Jersey" Joe began the thirteenth rather negatively, noticeably circling which he had not done in any of the previous rounds. Alas, he had dug his own grave. This aggressive Walcott, the same we had saw in Charles III was adamant Rocky would crumble after being clobbered. Slowly he realised, round after bruising round, this might not happen and tried to slink into cruise control. Rocky wasn't having it.

 

Of course it was...the best right hand ever thrown...are we trying to rewrite history?...SOUNDS LIKE IT...

 

A one punch KO is a one punch knockout scored by a fighter not named Rocky Marciano. That should be obvious.

 

Marciano trapped him on the ropes more than a few times earlier in the bout and Walcott either shot first or escaped. Marciano was unable to set up that powerful a punch earlier. He did clock him with some good rights, tho, and Walcott rode them well.
