Re: Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano
Agree with you. He did better behind the jab but not trading with Rocky

Re: Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano
Actually Louis took a while to get going, but when he did he controlled the fight and made Marciano look bad on more than one occasion by missing wildly. After the first 2 frames Louis controlled the action with his strong jab, however the old worn down Louis tired by the 6th. With his legs completely gone by the 8th, Marciano was able to connect with one of this bombs, and that was all she wrote. Louis hurting his left hand around the 3rd session I am sure did not help, as he was not able to throw the jab like he wanted.
