17/08/2012 - 8.43.34

 

Next Tuesday the magnificent statue of Rocky Marciano will be exhibited at the Politecnico Nacional.

The giant statue has been created to pay homage to one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all times- undefeated Rocky Marciano.

It'll be situated in Rocky’s home town of Brockton Massachusetts, and the grand inauguration will be held on September 23rd.

Marciano was an idol. he fought from 1947 to 1955. Blessed with a thunderbold right hand nicknamed Suzy Q, tremendous conditioning and an iron will. He was never defeated from the start to the finish of his 49 fight professional career, with 43 KO's. Not suprisingly, he was dubbed....the Brockton Blockbuster!
