 Marciano - Charles II
Marciano - Charles II Championnat du monde des lourds Le 17 septembre 1954, le Yankee Stadium de New York accueille la revanche mondiale des poids lourds entre le champion invaincu, Rocky Marciano, et son compatriote Ezzard Charles. Le premier affrontement, très serré, laisse planer une grande incertitude sur ce second combat. Charles peut-il vaincre le champion incontesté ? Lors du premier combat, en juin 1954, les coups de Charles avaient durement entaillé les arcades du champion. Mais le challenger s’inclina aux points sur une décision serrée mais unanime (8 rounds contre 6 rounds pour 1 nul). Trois mois plus tard, la revanche gratifie l'exploit du challenger d'avoir tenu la distance. Si l’âpreté
des échanges de juin aurait pu susciter une rancœur réciproque entre les deux hommes, la pesée organisée la vieille au Madison Square Garden de New York se déroule dans une courtoisie de "grands seigneurs".
Le lendemain soir, en culotte noire, Rocky entre dans l’arène, sous l'ovation indescriptible de son public. Pourtant, dès la première reprise, c’est Charles qui touche avec de belles droites. Mais dans le suivant, après deux lourds crochets droits, le challenger se retrouve au sol... Le combat est âpre dans les rounds suivants. Beaucoup de corps à corps sont provoqués par le «Roc» qui ne cesse d’avancer. Ezzard Charles qui semble bien plus élégant, tourne sur la gauche sans fuir. Au coup de gong de la 5e reprise, l’arbitre, Al Berl, s’interpose énergiquement pour stopper un échange de coups tardifs. La lutte est féroce. Au cours de l'acte suivant, Charles d’un coup de coude fracture le nez du champion. Gravement touché, son appendice est littéralement fendu en deux ! Au retour dans son coin, c’est la stupeur. Cette blessure est l’une des plus spectaculaires qu’on est jamais vu sur un ring. Marciano saigne abondamment, l’arrêt semble proche. Dans le 7e round, Charles exploite la cible et l’intervention du médecin guette Rocky...
A l'appel du 8e round, Al Weil pourtant peu réputé pour sa compassion semble vouloir mettre un terme au combat. Le visage couvert de sang, l'arcade gauche de Rocky est également entaillé. Obstiné, il avance et matraque sans relâche. Lorsque soudain, "Suzy Q" surgit ! Alors que Charles esquivait un crochet gauche, la terrible droite de Marciano le cueille en crochet et l’expédie au tapis. Compté 4, le Cobra se relève puis tente de s’accrocher. Mais deux autres droites, dont l’une légèrement derrière la tête le font chuter de nouveau.
Démolit, Ezzard ne réitère pas l’exploit de tenir les quinze rounds. Poutant, ce combat sera désigné comme "le combat de l’année 1954" par le Magazine américain "The Ring".

 Re: Marciano - Charles II
Marciano - Charles II World heavyweight championship On September 17, 1954, the Yankee Stadium in New York hosts the contrast between world heavyweight champion undefeated Rocky Marciano, Ezzard Charles and his compatriot. The first confrontation, very tight, casts considerable uncertainty on the second fight. Charles can overcome the undisputed champion? During the first fight in June 1954, Charles had the shots hit the arcades of carved champion. But the challenger bowed to points on a unanimous but close decision (8 rounds to 6 rounds against a zero). Three months later, however the challenger gratifies the feat of keeping distance. If the roughness
exchange in June could have created a mutual resentment between the two men, weighing organized the old Madison Square Garden in New York takes place in courtesy of "lords".
The next evening, in black breeches, Rocky enters the arena, under the indescribable ovation from his audience. Yet from the first round, it was Charles who touches with beautiful lines. But in the next, after two heavy square brackets, the challenger can be found on the ground ... The battle is fierce in the following rounds. Many melee are caused by the "Roc" which continues to advance. Ezzard Charles, who seems more elegant, turns left without fleeing. Gong at the fifth occasion, the referee Al Berl, intervenes aggressively to stop an exchange of blows late. The fight is fierce. During the next act, Charles of an elbow fracture the nose of the champion. Severely affected, the appendix is literally split in two! On the way back to his corner, it's stupor. This injury is one of the most spectacular one is ever seen on a ring. Marciano is bleeding profusely, the stop is near. In the seventh round, Charles operates the target and the intervention of the doctor watches for Rocky ...
At the call of the eighth round, Al Weil yet little known for his compassion seems to stop the fight. Face covered with blood, left the arcade Rocky is also notched. Stubborn, he argues tirelessly and batons. When suddenly, "Suzy Q" arises! While Charles dodged a left hook, right hand of the terrible Marciano pick the hook and sent to the mat. Count 4, the Cobra gets up and tries to hang on. But two straight, one slightly behind the head are falling again.
Demolished, Ezzard does not repeat the feat of holding fifteen rounds. Pout, this fight will be designated as the "Fight of the Year 1954" by the American magazine "The Ring".
