69 years ago today, the undefeated Rocky Marciano entered the ring for the last time to take on the challenging Archie Moore – and made history!
Boxing idol Rocky Marciano enters the ring for the last time on September 21, 1955 at the age of 32. He then hangs up his boxing gloves. In a tough fight, in which “The Brockton Blockbuster” is even knocked down in the second round, he triumphs in the end with a clear knockout victory over Archie Moore. With an unblemished record of 49 wins and not a single defeat, he retires unbeaten. Rocky Marciano thus makes boxing history. His record stands until 2017, when it is surpassed by Floyd Mayweather Jr.
