Never realized Roland La Starza was a Hall Of Famer, here is his induction:

That was fun watching Rocky commentating on his own fight. I like the fact that he was very self-critical about how poor he was fighting, not landing enough body shots and missing wildly. He said he may have over trained and been stale in the fight. The colour commentary repeats the same 7 rounds.

The black and white version has the commentator saying Rock was winning the majority of the later rounds on the score cards. Rocky was a powerful puncher and that was a great finish against La Starza sending him through the ropes before the referee stopping it.

Great points there Master. What a humble person he was. He was really criticizing himself. He criticized the distance that he was fighting from then he also criticized his speed. He said that Roland lastarza was always two steps ahead of him. He realized he was missing a lot of punches and he said he was stale. There is no surviving video of their first encounter in which Roland lastarza may indeed have won. What strikes you is the humility of the commentary. Remarks like "what's wrong with me?" and "I better get in there", are just so personal and amazing to hear.

You a fan of Marciano’s are you? We used to have another guy on here that was a fan of Marciano’s, but he was a bit of a twat, nothing like you!

Just noticing the array of cameras actually in the ring. Wonder when that began to go away.

Praised the outgoing Joe Louis as well as the incoming Cassius Clay. Interesting how one of the toughest hombres showed humility and respect to all his opponents. He must be able to turn off and on the mean streak one needs to have in order to throw volley shots of death like Rock did!
Great video as always!
