On the same day, in his last fight, undefeated world heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano (White man) KOs light heavyweight Archie Moore (negro) in Round 9 in New York. (Side Note: Rocky Marciano, the "Brockton Bomber," and the greatest heavyweight ever in the history of professional boxing, retires undefeated with the phenomenal record of 49 wins, 0 losses, with 46 of his victories coming by knockout. No heavyweight, ever, in the history of professional boxing has matched Marciano's unblemished record, and it is virtually unlikely that any heavyweight boxer will ever match, let alone eclipse, Marciano's record.).
