Marciano's KO of Walcott

[marbleheadmaui]

That was a brutal KO for sure but Rocky did not have to hit him again, this is not MMA. Rocky was a dirty fighter.

How often is the guy draped over the ropes and unconscious? No real way for Rock to see that.

And yes, Rock was a dirty fighter.

Everyone could see Jersey was not getting up and Rocky still gave him a left hook for good measure.

His beating of Don Cockell was dirty and brutal.

Don Cockell was no saint himself in that fight. I'm ok with the occasional elbow, shoulder, grinding chin into someone's shoulder, shot on the hip etc.

Bernard Hopkins approves this message.

The ref let a lot of Rocky's illegal blows go.

All I know was that Walcott's legs opted to go on vacation before the end of the first round. I called the second fight round fourteen. The first one was great it brought out the best in both fighters. Rocky aged him.

Arms, shoulders, hips etc. Greb was a dirty fighter as was Wilde. Norfolk was a thumber. Langford was probably thumbed more then anyone in boxing history. What we consider "dirty" today in many ways was "normal" fighting in past eras.

That punch was remarkable. A counter that looked like a lead. Perfect applied distance by Marciano. Instinctively knew it would get to the mark sooner even if Joe started to throw first.
