On July 18, 1951, Jersey Joe Walcott shocked the world when he knocked out Ezzard Charles in the seventh round to claim the World Heavyweight Championship. His perfectly timed left hook is still remembered as one of the greatest knockouts in boxing history. At 37 years old, Walcott became the oldest heavyweight champion ever at the time — proving age was just a number. #Boxing #History #JerseyJoeWalcott #EzzardCharles #fblifestyle | BTR Boxing Podcast Network

September 23, 1952. Exactly 73 years ago today, one of the greatest knockouts in boxing history took place. The young challenger Rocky Marciano faced heavyweight champion Jersey Joe Walcott. Walcott dropped Marciano in the first round, but Rocky got up and kept pressing forward. The champion seemed to be in full control until the 13th round, when a lightning right hand from Marciano landed clean on Walcott’s chin, knocking him out cold. A punch that became legend. #RockyMarciano | Rocky Marciano
