Correct. I was watching a bit of an old Joe Louis talk while watching this and mixed up the two. Truth be told I can't say I remember how Archie Moore talked, only watched his fights not interviews.
But that 9th round, I just watched it again, my lord Archie was in the frying pan with the heat turned up, grease poppin!
Marciano with both barrels blazing is a thing of awe to watch. He threw 770 punches in 8 rounds in that fight, then in 1 + minute of the 9th and final round he threw 46 punches.

46 punches in 1 minute 19 seconds of the 9th round

Archie Moore said "Marciano just had way more stamina than anybody else in those days."
And he turns those shots over, full velocity. I wonder if he fought today would refs call him out for ducking below the waistline, he really got under a lot of punches.
Plus some years ago I use to look at that looping overhand as a flailing haymaker. Now I see how he positioned himself. If a fighter is in the wrong place, that was a very accurate punch to the temple.

I sure hope they do more of his fights in color.
