      It's kind of eerie how we see Marciano landing that uppercut and then in the next frame Vingo is laid out unconscious with everyone crowding around him. At the time, I'm sure everyone was concerned for his life. I'm just glad he ended up pulling through. Marciano of course helped him with his hospital bills.

        Yeah, after Vingo's whole $1500 purse and his MSG insurance went to paying the hospital bill (said to be $3000), Marciano "may" have paid whatever was remaining on the bill...

        Although, if you ask me, Marciano should have done more for Vingo...and I only say that because Marciano (and Weill) had promised Vingo that he/they would set up a benefit or something for Carmine, and never came through on his promise.

            13 is meant to be an unlucky number.
