It was a decision win over 3 rounds for Wallace.
But most sports writers and the fans thought Marciano was robbed.
Rocky in fact lost another 3 fights when he first started as an amateur.
Marciano as an amateur Won 8 lost 4 KO 7 he was never knocked out.
Lost to Ted Lester disqualified in 3
Lost to Joe D'Angelis in 3
Lost to Bob Girard in 3
Lost to Coley Wallace in 3
In the army Marciano had about 30 fights won all most by KO.
Then turned pro and learnt to fight, and the rest as they say is History
