Rocky Marciano vs Lee Savold (Full Fight Highlights)

Rocky Marciano 186 lbs beat Lee Savold 200 lbs by RTD in round 6 of 10 Date: 1952-02-13 Location: Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Referee: Pete Tomasco “Rocky Marciano Belts Lee Savold Into Retirement“ A fighter has to have his annuities paid up before going against Rocky Marciano. Marciano, the hard punching heavyweight from Brockton, Mass., not only beats his opponents into bloody submission, but he sends them scurrying for a rocking chair and retirement. Like Wednesday night when to all intent and purposes he ended the career of the veteran Lee Savold. It is no exaggeration to say that Marciano slaughtered Savold. The 35-year-old Englewood, N. J., fighter was a blood-soaked hulk when his manager, Bill Daly, asked Referee Pete Tomasso to stop the uneven match at the end of the sixth round. “The will was there but not the body,“ said Daly. “I’m going to advise Lee to retire from the ring tomorrow.“ John (Ox)
