American boxing Champion Rocky Marciano with other men seated in front of microphone, he commences to speak (natural sound): "He is one of the best, the gamest, and he certainly was in there fighting all the way. I hit him with plenty of good punches and he avoided quite a few. He is a top notch challenger. Off camera interviewer: "Was it your toughest title defense?" Marciano: "One of the toughest along with the first Ezra Charles fight. Interviewer: "What about the knockdown, Rocky? How did you feel right after that, were you dazed?" Marciano: "No I wasn't. I was up at the count of two and I remember just where my man was and I went right after him." Interviewer: "Rocky, Archie Moore has been quoted as saying he enjoyed the fight last night. What do you have to say to that?" Marciano: "I understand that Archie made the statement that he would rather be in a good losing fight than a bad winning fight. I don't know too much about enjoying it, I was very glad I won the fight though." BCU. Archie Moore with badly hurt eye. SV. Archie Moore, wearing dark glasses, sitting on bed with his arm around another man's shoulder, being interviewed (natural sound): Interviewer: "Well Archie you did a good job." Moore: "Dave, thanks a lot and I'm satisfied with results of the fight. The main thing is that the public enjoyed a good spectacle." | |
