Rocky Graziano vs Davey

[marcxopoco]

This was a fake. Graziano was fat, soft, overweight.

Graziano, who could stay in the there with MIDDLEWEIGHT champion Tony Zale, fighting and losing every round to a weak welterweight in the form of Chuck Davey?

No thank you.

Graziano needed the money and had one last fight--and against a punchless welterweight.

And the clueless discuss it as if it is a legitimate fight.

[Josh22268]

looks like an uninspired Graziano. no wonder it was his last fight.

rocky graziano vs rocky marciano? is it happen, or they two lived in a different time?

[brickiebill1]

@Aniva66 Two totally different weight classes lol Graziano was a middleweight, Marciano a heavy. C'mon son!

[Aniva66]

@brickiebill1 ah ok lol i didn't know. both two had italian origins ,right? is the saga of the movie Rocky by S.Stallone ispirated to Graziano or Marciano? it's Graziano right? IMHO Marciano face looks Robert DeNiro one. Cool

[brickiebill1]

@Aniva66 It's cool, actually the Rocky movies was inspired by neither Marciano or graziano. Chuck Wepner who fought and lost to Ali was supposedly the inspiration for Rocky. Deniro portrayed Jake Lamotta another Italian in the movie "Raging Bull" I know it's confusing lol

[Aniva66]

@brickiebill1 I read Rocky Balboa was inspired to the move "somebody up there likes me" and to the boxer Rocky Graziano. About DeNiro, i know about his Raging Bull and Jake LaMotta. I meant the R.Deniro's face (in Raging Bull for example) looks a bit like Rocky Marciano's one..maybe just a bit. lol

[brickiebill1]

@Aniva66 Yeah "Somebody up there likes me" is an awesome movie starring a young Paul Newman and it is about Rocky Graziano. It is based off of Graziano's autobiography. If u never have seen it I recomend you check it out right away.

[Aniva66]

@brickiebill1 yeah I've read something about that Paul Newman was ispired to Rocky Graziano. i'll get to see it sooner. i try to ask my library. About Paul Newman , i love his sixties 'billard movie'. the hustler. In Italy that movie is called "Lo spaccone" .it's amazing. thanx to that movie i start to love billard..and the game "straight pool" expecially.

[brickiebill1]

@Aniva66 "The Hustler" is one of my all time favorite movies as well. It also inspired me to shoot pool. You live in Italy huh? I'm jealous, it looks like a beautiful country. I'd love to visit, the piazzas and laid back kind of lifestyle ive heard about really intrigue me. Not to mention the Italian women lol It's cool how in today's age computers and the internet have made the world a smaller place. Cheers to you.

[Aniva66]

@brickiebill1 lol are u jealous 'cause don't live here?? don't worry..italy is a very very small country, so you do not you missed anything. not to mention the horrible government we have! it's a fascist regim! I've saw a shot where Berlusconi and Geddafi shake hands! i get the feeling our premier will allow him to take refuge here! our premier and other politicians who support for Berlusconi, are dishonests and falses. they are cheating the Italian people, continually throughout.

[realtavirtuale]

politici statunitensi = ladri di benzina, gente molto primitiva.. meglio gli Apache, almeno hanno delle tradizioni culturali, questi oltre al tacchino.. nulla!

[marcxopoco]

Looks like a workout between two girls.

[marcxopoco]

This is an obvious fake.

Graziano is throwing slaps.

Anyone who can't tell Graziano is faking it has never seen a fight before.

Graziano was old, fat and wanted one more paycheck.

He did what they told him.

The same fighter who stopped great 160 pounder Tony Zale can't handle 147 pound Chuck Davey?

What a farce.

[cellardoor199991]

Rocky never took lessons huh?

[somewhere6]

The way Davey is moving, Rocky is not going to land his right with any authority. He lands repeatedly with his left but as we know his left had none of the power of his right. A good fight strategy by Davey, stay busy and moving away from the right.

[noeyiom]

Chuck Davey was a classic boxer, Rocky was a slugger, class will tell.

[TheChoice264]

rocky should've mopped the floor with davey's ass. rocky retired after this fight. pre-zale rocky would've moided da bum!

[tefisher1984]

Happy 90th birthday to the late Rocky Graziano!

[pelicanodechile]

That was Graziano's dilema: how to fight technical boxers such as Davey. Rocky G. was a beloved slugger, great show, put his heart in the fight.

Technical / athletic boxers most always win!

[seamusp]

amazing the ref didn't give rocky back his gumshield after it fell out!

[percoplus]

great fight!!!

[leodungen]

yea and rocky lost this fight

[bbxx44]

Wake up, That's Chuck Davey.
