What do you guys think,?? I been searching though Marciano Walcott 1, for the fame punch that has been claim to be the knockout punch.

OF couse, by the fight film, and other pics, THIS is not the fame knockout punch.

As you can see, away from the ropes, Marciano caught Walcott on the ropes, also I want you to pay attention to Walcott's trunks. Notice the blood on his shorts?? That didnt happen until the 6th round, when Marciano and Walcott class heads. Bill Corum even points the blood on Walcott's trunks out in round 6th. So that takes out rounds 1-5. So we have rounds 6-12 or maybe 13 to look after. Number 2, it had to be a major punch. No light tap, something that caught the movement of the fight, some major punch. That fail short of a knockout, Marciano thought many of thsos, and 3rd the feet movement, Walcott's knees are bent, and Marciano in his stance. So after a while, I belive I found the punch. ROUND 7. Marciano lands a thundar punch that buckles Walcott's knees, and the crowd screams.

Yes, you are quite right, but you can see why the first photograph would have become imbued with a power, it's an incredible shot.

..............I believe you're right, Dempsey. All the angles check out from the opposite side; arm placement, distance of the feet from each other, position of the ropes, everything.

It looks like the same exact punch from a different angle but there body positions are exact

I think you found it Dempsey.

I think the famed K.O. punch occurs with Walcott much closer
to the ropes.

Yea, i knew the K.O. punch wasnt the one in the photo, just never knew when the one in the pic actually was. Im pretty confident Dempsey has found it now though

It was not hard, I knew it was a massive punch, I just had to find WHICH punch it was, at first I thought it was round 4 lol. But now after see round 4, and the pic, I was pretty sure that was not the punch.
