Originally posted by The Old LefHook View PostTwo fine slabs of meat. Marciano dances circles around Joe, peppering him with long jabs all night for what should have been a smooth decision win. Rocky too slick for the plodding Bomber. You would have thought it was Tunney in there, moving in and out like a threshing machine.
More than Rocky's power, it his footwork and defensive savvy that disorients Joe and has him turning to the ref for assistance throughout the fight.
With Joe's face a bloody mess from Marciano's constant jabbing, the referee mysteriously stops the fight and awards it to Louis, as he disqualifies the Rock for lack of action after a third warning to pick up the pace.

you couldnt miss him if you wore blinders. not saying rocky couldnt bang, much like 3g and tyson. he also didnt have much to worry about.

.....moving on.......
rudimentary defensive ''skill''. even shot jorge paez was able to pull those moves.
la starza (known for what ? almost beating rocky. nothing else)
layne uummmm......
sry but the PRIME names just arent there. and let me make this clear. i dont mean to disparage a fighter ''just because''. i really think rocky had it very easy and it wasnt because he was ''that good''.
just mho.
