LOL.
I knew I'd get a reaction out of you, my friend, which is all I was doing with that previous post...
Although, I still don't see how you can be so confident that Marciano got the better of things when the fight is unavailable for viewing nowadays, and instead we have to rely on reports from those eyewitnesses who actually saw the fight.
Oh, and Peter Marciano is certainly not an objective opinion on that fight, as you very well know, especially when he was only a little kid when that fight happened...His biased opinion means next to nothing in regards to what happened in that fight. And seeing as you're likely to come back with some quote from Sam Silverman (from page 125 of Marciano's bio) stating that "The kid gave Lowry a bad body beating", I'll have you know that even the fight reports that state Lowry should've won (6 rounds to 4) indicate that Marciano was constantly attacking Lowry's body ("unending body attack", "concentrate wholly on the body", etc., etc.). No where in that book does it actually give Silverman's definate opinion as to who actually won the fight, and as I told you on a different forum, you can find similiar quotes to Silverman's in reference to Chuvalo's body attack on Ali in their first fight...Doesn't mean Chuvalo won the fight or was even close to winning it, though, does it?
