    His first time to be ever knocked down,it was a quick left hook, and then by the second rd the right hand was working for Jersey Joe. Of course this was their first fight that I am speaking of.

    i think they told him to keep moving to his right this enabled him to get more leverage from his punches while making it hard for joe to connect with his left hook:yep:think

    I think Rocky stayed in a little bit closer, not really giving Walcott the space to land another smashing shot. Although Walcott still caught Rocky from time to time, Rocky slipped many of Walcott's blows throughout the fight.
