smashed Moore with every conceivable

also noted that Archie's aging

inquired after the eight round end

answered:
"No 1 don't. If I'm going to .lost
this fight, I'm going to lose it:

the punch, picked himself up, staved
off Archie's follow-up attack

ninth round knockout over his courageous
rival. Afterwards, Moore
&?' gave tjvis reason for not knocking
out Marciano:
" I followed him up to quickly
