Charles fought the “fight of his life" in the early’rounds. driving

Every time Ezzy got a chance to score to that damaged eye. he took advantage of it. The cut leaked on and off through the rest of the

bout, bothering Rocky who kept dabbing at the blood with his glove.

It was all Charles in the first four rounds until Marciano began in come on in the fifth with a ser- ies of left hooks to the head. He finished the attack with a punch after the bell, drawing a chorus of boos from the stands.

NEW YORK (AP)—His right eye bloodsliot. and half closed, his left cheekbone lumpy and lopsided. Ezzard Charles Thursday night snarled defiance at Rocky M31‘- ciano and challenged his conqueror to another fight. “the sooner the better."

",Marciano is not the best fighter 1 ever fought." Charles muttered through bloody and battered lips in his dressing room. “In fact, don't think he beat me. I think I ivon the fight.

“He's strong and throws a lot of punches." the beaten heavy- weight challcnger added, “but he didn't give me as tough a fight as Walcott (f o r m e r heavyweight champion Joe Walcott) did. In fact. all four of my fights with Walcott were tougher. He didn't hurt me near as much as Walcott did."

Although Charles insisted he wasn't hurt, the door to his dres- sing room was closed to reporters for 40 minutes after the fight. When they finally were permitted to see the beaten gladiator, it was almost impossible to interview him.
