I have been thinking about this fight a lot and I envision a 15 rd fight going like this
Ali would start fast and rack up points using the jab and footwork and win the first 4 rounds pretty easily.
5th round would be really close with Marciano finally started able to track down Ali.
6th round would be a clear Marciano round as body shots send Ali to the ropes and rocky lands some good shots.
7th Ali recovers and gets on his bike and uses the jabs and counters over rocky's lower shots.. Ali's biggest round in terms of damage inflicted as rocky got his head snapped back from a few counters and small cut around the eye from the jab..
8th fairly dull round as rocky is recovering and Ali alittle gassed.. Suddenly with min left in the round Ali gets caught napping by a huge left hook right hand by rocky and Ali gets dropped.. Ali gets up and isn't that hurt but slightly buzzed and recovers quickly and finishes the round,,
9th round Marciano starts to takeover as Ali is getting pushed back and trapped on the ropes.. Marciano would pressure Ali and continually trap him against the ropes. Rocky wins rounds 9,10,11,12
13th round is action packed as rocky is tiring from Ali's jabs and counters that he has been walking thru all night, Ali is gaining his 2nd wind.. Close round, goes either way
14th Ali digs deep, finds his legs and has the best round in a long time.. Doesn't do much damage but shoe shines rocky and steals the round.. Marciano is really tired from the rounds 9-12 onslaught he put on Ali..
15th rocky goes for broke, but Ali ties him up constantly and is often on his bike.. Late in the round rocky when going for the ko, will walk into some huge shots from Ali and will get visible hurt, but rocky will keep charging forward and Ali will tie him up.. Rocky would have the better round but the hard shots he walked into by Ali will be enough for Ali to steal the round..
Ali wins a close decision
