IBF Title Fight

"Italian Rock n Roll" Fight Card

Main Event:

IBF Champion Rocky Marciano, USA, 20-2-0 (19) vs "The Italian Stallion" Rocky Balboa, USA, 10-1-0 (10)

Both fighters have trained hard for this fight. Marciano is making his 3rd title defense of his IBF Title. Oh my God, just :57 seconds into the fight and Balboa is down from a punch that is part uppercut, part hook. Balboa manages to get up but will have a long time to try to survive this 1st round. Marciano is blistering his opponent and Balboa is down again. Balboa is allowed to continue, but Marciano is trying to finish the fight right here. There it is, the referee steps in and the fight is stopped here at the 2:57 mark of the 1st. Winner and still IBF Champion, The Brockton Blockbuster, Rocky Marciano (TKO1). Great fight for Marciano, bad results for Marciano’s handlers and the promoters. The NAACP’s claim that Balboa did not deserve this fight seems to be justified and you can bet that we will be hearing some protests.
