Joe Walcott in the 13th round and went on to
be the only
heavyweight champion in boxing history to
retire without a
defeat or
draw as a professional boxer. Trivia
fans:
Marciano's punch was tested and featured in
the December 1963
issue of Boxing Illustrated: "Marciano's
knockout blow packs
more explosive energy than an armour-
piercing bullet and
represents as much energy as would be
required to spot lift
1000 pounds one foot off the ground."




Today's Inspirational Quote:
"Live life and take chances. Believe that
everything happens
for a reason and don't regret. Love to the
fullest and you
will find true happiness in life. Realize that
things go wrong
and people change, but things do go on.
Sometimes things
weren't meant to be. What is supposed to
happen will work its
way out."
