The Marciano Vingo fight seems to be in color and yet its the early 50's so I'm a bit curious to know how that is....other then that cool thread.....i've seen alot of these fights but still good to see them again

Colour film has been around for a very long time. It wasn't used very much until the 60's/70's because black and white was cheaper. But I think that fight was private footage not intended to be broadcast.

Marciano was such a good hearted guy, I am reminded of that every time I see this fight, I mean he could have knocked Joe out much sooner if he wanted imo, in fact if you look at the fight you can see times where Rocky has a clear shot at Joe, but then somehow manages to miss, as if he were missing on purpose not to hurt Joe.

Thats correct. And after the fight they both cried together : (.

marciano did not take it easy on joe louis. louis was a big powerful dangerous top ranked contender even at 37. marciano had to bring his best because louis was still dangerous. check out the fight, louis busts up marciano with his jab and lands some hard left hooks on marciano that would fell anyone but granite chin marciano.




the vingo footage was a homeade video made, thats why its in color

[hemichromis]

marciano did not want to fight louis because he ahd tremendous respect for him

It appeared to be a home movie rather than anything "official". Color film has been available for a long time.
