Could this have happened? Endorsement: The Times endorses Hoffman, Anderson, Henderson and Han for LACCD. September 20, 1955 official program between Rocky Marciano and Archie Moore. “He (Moore) had hit him right if ever I saw a boxer hit right, with a classic brevity and conciseness,” A.J. On Dec. 17, 1952, four days after turning 36 and performing before his adopted home fans in St. Louis, Moore finally became a world champion after comprehensively out-pointing light heavyweight king Joey Maxim. The win over LaStarza and the first fight with Lowry were close, but in both fights Marciano had a solid claim to victory. But my right foot slipped. He has been an elector for the International Boxing Hall of Fame since 2001 and is also a writer, researcher and punch-counter for CompuBox, Inc. He felt he deserved the decision, and denied he had been told to back off. Personally, at this point, I don’t feel I should retire.”. “He was just too fast.”. Moore managed to roll away from most of the incoming and, from time to time, he uncorked sneaky rights that barely missed the target. Perhaps he was tiring. Despite the beating he absorbed, Moore insisted he “enjoyed” the fight and noted that Marciano’s consistency was the determining factor. They enlisted Toledo Blade cartoonist Walt Buchanan, who, free of charge, drew caricatures of Marciano. This fight would be Rocky’s first big test against a highly skilled fighter who would be able to extend him. California’s November election will feature 12 statewide ballot measures. Moore cut Marciano beside the left eye in the third round, but Marciano’s strength, aggressiveness and superb physical conditioning began to come to the fore. I was going to train him.

He twice conquered former champ Ezzard Charles, who, after the fact, was judged to be far past his prime and Briton Don Cockell’s pudgy appearance, combined with Marciano’s slow start and general awkwardness, took away from the champ’s ninth-round TKO victory. As Marciano missed with a left hook, Moore “pulled my fight foot back and threw a right hand. Monday is the 60th anniversary of Rocky Marciano's final fight, a knockout of Archie Moore that gave him a 49-0 record. did not avail himself of the opportunity of springing at the puzzled champion.”. Rocky Marciano watches trainer Charley Goldman lace up his gloves as manager Al Weill looks on during a workout at Grossinger’s Gym in New York prior to his heavyweight title defense against Archie Moore. But, as the bell sounded for round seven, Moore, his mussed hair now combed and his eyes improbably brightened, moved energetically out of the corner and fought better than he had since round two. A powerful right to the forehead stunned Moore, prompting Marciano to unleash an extended torrent of power shots. On September 21, 1955, Moore faced future Hall of Famer Rocky Marciano at New York's Yankee Stadium. The closed-circuit broadcast handled by Theatre Network Television drew an estimated 320,000 fans in 129 locations and 92 cities, accumulating an additional $1,125,000 to the till and lifting Marciano’s take to $482,374 and Moore’s to $241,187, career highs for both. The reason supposedly being that certain people had spoken to them during the round and told them it would be bad for their health if Ted kept up the his assault. That ended Rocky’s comeback before it even started. Well, it is boxing so anything is possible. Marciano was a sizeable 18-to-5 betting favorite but that didn’t stop the turnstiles across the country from spinning wildly. The other theory is that after the 4th round his cornermen told him to back off. The only way to achieve that status was to thoroughly defeat another truly great fighter.
