From the boxing world, fans are always on high exctacy witnessing one of the best knockouts that would be remembered for years, this as always been fun to watch and on many occasions it can happen that a boxer has been winning most of the fight, but suddenly and without anticipation, a blow of tremendous impact lands forcefully on him and destroys all the work he was doing during the fight.

Let me start with the Rocky Marciano biggest fights with Joe Walcott, and the event was on September 23, 1952 as rocky Marciano knocks out Joe Walcott in the 13th round.

Back then, Rocky Marciano was crowned champion after fighting in Philadelphia against veteran Jersey Joe Walcott who was making his second title defense after winning it against Ezzard Charles by knockout the previous year.

During the first round of the fight, Walcott would start attacking with precise combinations towards Marciano, eventually Joe would manage to land a left hook on Rocky that would make him aware of the power of the champion, sooner or later Walcott would connect a second left hook that would knock him down to Marciano. As a curious fact, years later in an interview and with both fighters already retired, Marciano would admit that of all the fighters he faced in his 49 fights, Walcott was the one who hit the hardest.

Rocky would quickly beat the count and avoid being finished by his rival. The episodes of the fight would pass, being a competitive contest but one that would clearly lean towards the champion, who with an elusive and technical boxing would be able to neutralize the challenger's offense, boxing him at long distance while hurting him with strong and precise combinations. Marciano's plan to cut the distance and in that range to start working the offense and his punches was frustrated by Joe's quick feet and his counterattacks, but it was not until round number 13 that everything would take an abrupt change. .

With only three rounds left in the fight, everything seemed in favor of the champion, who by the way was winning on the scorecards of judges Charlie Daggert, Zach Clayton, and Pete Tomasco, but at one point in the round, Walcott walked to the ropes and seeing that Marciano was preparing a straight right behind his feints, Joe decided to look for the counter with his own right, however Marciano's blow would come before Walcott's counter and this would result in an incredible knockout punch where Walcott would be knocked out.
