Was Marciano-Walcott I a one punch knockout?

I agree with this post.


The "was it or was it not a one-punch knockout" debate is not one I want to pursue.

Most big punchers don't literally stop many with one punch.

 

I'm not lucky enough to have seen all the righthands thrown in a boxing ring so I won't make a judgement on that one. Marciano himself said the right uppercut he stopped Walcott with in their second fight was a better punch , but what would he know?

 

Wilfredo Benitez and Michael Nunn scored one punch ko's neither was an especially hard hitter.

 

Aaaahhhh The Whining Weasel returns!


" Come From The Shadows".

 

And this proves?

 

Nothing at all, just like any other one punch ko really.

 

Well, I would agree, it certain meets my own criteria, but maybe people are have a stricter definition ...

For example ..

Just ignore him...don't feed the troll...that's all he is.

 

You're a predictable and clueless individual that has yet to learn about boxing history.

 

Hush your goddamn beak. Ignoramus.

 

I think you are confused on who was taking the worst of it....Walcott was dishing out a pretty good shellacking and Marciano took it like a man.

Walcott being the cutey type fighter looked to me like he was trying to walk the Rock into a huge punch which got caught in the ropes and got caught by a punch that put him out cold no debate.

It sounds like what is being said here is Rocky beat down JJW to the point that he was vulnerable to the KO an attrition KO. I see it the other way given the entirety of the fight that for the Rock to take a whipping like that and carry his power into the 13th is a feat of strength, stamina, timing and mostly a true power hitter with the heart of a lion. JJW was a late bloomer in boxing proven by his record and was close to his peak in that fight he looked as good as anytime in his career.

Some here may wonder had that punch landed earlier would he have still KO'd JJW and I believe the answer is yes that punch would have KO'd any fighter it landed on the way it landed. The question should be why did JJW miscalculate his punch or how close he was to the ropes? my answer is it was the 13th rd and he fought like hell to that moment and made a costly mistake against a puncher.

 

You need to watch more fights.

 

I agree with this mostly.
Although it is true that after 12 rounds Walcott had absorbed a fair bit of punishment including some good shots to the head, and would have been naturally tired anyway.

Yet he was on his way to winning and not hurt.
So it's a one-punch KO, clear enough.

The punch that KO'd him was perfectly timed, better than any punch Marciano had landed before, and would have KO'd any man, assuming it lands at the same point of trajectory.

 

I would suggest the same a late round 1 punch KO is rare in boxing and normally credit goes to the guy who had the power late unless the loser was taking a beating which Walcott wasn't and he was taking less of one than Marciano

 

Watch the fight again. Marciano was landing plenty. Also, as noted above, Walcott cashed in his chips in the 11th trying to stop Marciano. He withered afterward.

Marciano won on will primarily.
