Ive decided to get my black and white on and watch a few of the older fights. I feel ive been missing out some great fights and great moments because I'm not big on grainy footage. Me and my gf have different sleeping patterns at the moment which gives me 2-3 hours in the evening by myself to check out some fights from the past
Watched Marciano vs Jersey Joe Walcott last night.
Very entertaining fight. I always hear JJW was shot for this fight, something which i cant comment on because I havent seen him in his prime, but he still looked pretty decent early on to me. He was landing some good stiff shots that were hurting Marciano, and he was clinching well inside not allowing Rocky to find punching room.
As the fight wore on RM was just too strong and fit inside and he started landing more and more to the body and head. I love his style btw, keeps his head off centre, applies intelligent pressure, goes to body, throws mean shots etc. Great to watch.
Then the KO comes. What a huge shot. I don't think JJW would have got up with a 30 count from that.
I feel in respect to JJW I should go watch a fight from his prime tonight.
