heavyweight title bout at the Chicago Stadium tonight (9 EST) Marciano had been outweighed 196 to 184 when he dethroned Walcott with a 13th round knockout at Philadelphia last Sept 23 The weigh-in for nationally televised rematch was conducted by toe Illinois State Athletic Commission with considerable hoopla in the stadium ring By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO W) Undefeated Rocky Marciano the youthful slugger defends his heavyweight title against ex-champion Jersey Joe Walcott the ancient boxer in a long-awaited 15-round rematch at toe Chicago Stadium tonight The two fighters held at bay since a nose injury to Marciano postponed an original April 10 meeting were to weigh in at 12 noon (EST) for their nationally-televised bout at 9 Despite their classic first encounter at Philadelphia last Sept 23 when a trailing Marciano dethroned Walcott with a pulverizing 13th round knockout toe assault on toe box-office -has been disappointingly light Attendance in toe 20000-seat Stadium may range between 13000 and 15000 and the even with more than 9000 seats selling at $50 each needed a last-minute spurt to hit $450000 The TV (NBC) with only video screens in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas blacked out and both local and national broadcasting (ABC) unquestionably squelched the ticket sale The fact toe fight has been so long in the making has -spun cobwebs around such pertinent facts as: 1 The 28-year-old Marciano is seeking his 44th pro victory without defeat in his first title defense 2 The 39-year-old Walcott in his eighth title appearance is trying to become the first man ever to recapture the heavyweight crown 3 Even though Marciano is a strong 3 to 1 favorite the rugged Brockton Bomber was far behind on points and dumped for the first time in his career before his tremendous right to jaw ended toe last party That ponderous smash to the jaw has been described as one of toe greatest blows in boxing history ending as it did perhaps toe most savage heavyweight title bout since toe memorable Dempsey-Firpo It is recollection of that punch that gives Marciano almost unanimous support of boxing writers to repeat by a knockout although active ringmen believe generally that Walcott can box Marciano into defeat The sponsoring International Boxing Club was hopeful but not overly optimistic that gross receipts would top the indoor gate record of $422918 set at toe Stadium July 18 1947 when Rocky Graziano knocked out Tony Zale for the middleweight title Walcott has forfeited his right to 30 per cent slice of toe net gate and TV receipts of $300000 for a flat $250000 guarantee But with the sag in ticket sales toe former champion is expected to fare better than Marciano whose 30 per cent hunk may approximate $200000 The experts almost to a man think Jersey aging legs cannot carry him 15 rounds which they feel must be done to beat SAYi 1 J2H o3 PLYMOUTH Cran brook 2 door 'Goon sound transportation You won't have spend money repairing this one PACKARD Com I
