#Brockton BlockBuster

[ewingstan]

I had an interesting series of emotions reading this passage.

First was awe at the extent of Vista's capabilities. An entire city crumpled up and transformed. The type of effect that's impressive enough to sell countless blockbuster movie tickets on the basis of visual effects. The type of effect that we've only seen before in this setting from fucking Bohu. The little girl that Brian decked in arc three is pulling Endbringer moves.

That awe was followed by a light sense of feeling cheated, of Vista's power suddenly seeming too powerful based on what wildbow had previously established. But that quickly got tempered by remembering that Vista was always a powerhouse, but that her abilities were limited when people were in the area she was affecting. She could only do so much because she was working with an abandoned city.

And that got me to really pay attention to how Brockton Bay was an abandoned city. Its empty now. Completely depopulated. The city that we spent so much time in during Worm, that went through so much. The city that Coil spent so long conquering, that Skitter spent so long protecting, that survived Bakuda and Leviathan and the Slaughterhouse Nine and Echidna. The city whose mayor Taylor had to threaten to keep it from being abandoned earlier. The Boardwalk and the Docks. Arcadia and Winslow. The Loft. Its all empty now. All that fighting for it and its all empty now.

Ezzard Charles (July 7, 1921 - May 28, 1975) known as “The Cincinnati Cobra,” was a quiet, modest individual who went on to become a world heavyweight champion. Born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, He moved to Cincinnati at the age of nine to live with his grandmother. He began boxing as an amateur in his teens and won the AAU National middleweight title (1939). He turned professional (1940). His early bouts were against the top middleweights and light heavyweights in the world. A clever boxer, throughout his professional career he defeated many of boxing’s greatest fighters including Charley Burley, Joey Maxim, Archie Moore (three times), “Jersey” Joe Walcott, Gus Lesnevich, and Joe Louis.

His professional career was interrupted (1944-45) when he served a stint in the army during WWII. He returned to boxing (1946) and defeated Archie Moore, Lloyd Marshall, and Jimmy Bivins to earn a #2 ranking in the light heavyweight class. He fought a total of five light heavyweight champions, defeating four of them, but never received an opportunity to fight for the division’s title. Many consider him one of the greatest light heavyweight fighters of all time based on his record in that weight class.

He fought for the vacant National Boxing Association heavyweight title (1949) against “Jersey” Joe Walcott and earned a 15-round decision victory. Joe Louis came out of retirement and he defeated him (1950) gaining recognition as the undisputed world heavyweight champion. He successfully defended the title three times before losing it to Walcott (1951).

He challenged Rocky Marciano, losing twice. Marciano referred to their first meeting as one of the toughest fights he ever had. It was the only time a fighter ever lasted a full 15 rounds against the “Brockton Blockbuster.”

He retired from the ring, but financial problems forced him to come out of retirement and fight for two more years (1958-59). He lost 12 of his final decisions, bringing his overall record to 89 wins, 25 losses, and 1 draw. In 1966, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Jersey Joe Walcott speaking about “the Brockton Blockbuster” Rocky Marciano prior to their first meeting in which Rocky would knock Jersey Joe out cold in snatching the title from the then heavyweight champion.

He didn’t lose a bout prior to lifting the crown…nor did he lose one there after either.

49-0.

Undefeated.

The numbers don’t lie.

Huge huge numbers of lawsuits are coming in today of course it's just going to overwhelm them and they can't refuse them and they have to try and set up a way to do it and our son says to the judges they probably already know and we said to him to set up class actions because there's no way they can hear all those cases and the judges agree and they're already doing it but usually they can get away with stuff if he says it and he wants them to because this guy has to go down and the money can't just leave because meaningless idiots left the economy you getting parasites off you.

[shihantiger]

73 years ago today, a young Rocco Francis Marchegiano, fought for the first time as a professional under the name ‘Rocky Mack’. Fellow local Massachusetts boxer Lee Epperson was the first in a long line of victims of the knockout power of the rugged and raw slugger who would become world famous as Rock Marciano - The Brockton Blockbuster. Epperson started strongly but in the third round a viscious uppercut from Rocky sent him through the ropes into next week. Epperson never fought again. Before Rocco became Rocky he had pursued a career in baseball, failing ironically because he couldn’t hit hard enough! Rocky Marciano would go on to compete from 1947 to 1955, and held the world heavyweight title from 1952 to 1956. He is the only heavyweight champion to have finished his career undefeated. His six title defenses were against Jersey Joe Walcott, Roland La Starza, Ezzard Charles (twice), Don Cockell and Archie Moore, leaving the ring after 49 fights with 49 victories, winning an impressive 43 by knockout! #boxinghistory #Rocky #ownyourbody #TigerFIT https://www.instagram.com/p/B93eVqHH264/?igshid=1xf7qnafzdvil

(pseudonimo di Rocco Francis Marchegiano, Rocky Marciano nacque a Brockton il 1º settembre 1923, da Pierino (Quirino) Marchegiano, originario di Ripa Teatina (CH) e Pasqualina Picciuto, che proveniva da San Bartolomeo in Galdo (BN), due emigrati italiani che avevano lasciato il paese nei primi anni del secolo.

A 16 anni, grazie a lavori in cantiere, sviluppò un fisico possente e ottimo per praticare il pugilato. Nonostante tutto Rocco si avvicinerà a tale sport solo otto anni più tardi.

Vinse il titolo di campione del mondo il 23 settembre 1952 a Filadelfia, sconfiggendo per KO alla 13ª ripresa il campione del mondo in carica Jersey Joe Walcott, uno dei pesi massimi più forti e tecnicamente più dotati a cavallo tra gli anni '40 e '50. Difese il titolo per altre 6 volte.

Tarchiato, lento, tecnicamente grezzo e dotato di un allungo inferiore alla media dei massimi, Marciano riusciva a compensare questi limiti con l'aggressività (talvolta al limite delle regole del ring), la resistenza fisica e, soprattutto, col suo destro terrificante, che gli valse il soprannome di "The Brockton Blockbuster" (Il bombardiere di Brockton) e con il quale mandò al tappeto tutti i suoi avversari, tra cui i maggiori pugili all'epoca.

Il suo palmarès è di 49 vittorie di cui 43 per KO, e nessuna sconfitta; in virtù di tale carriera, è considerato uno dei più grandi pugili di tutti i tempi. Molti esperti lo ritengono il miglior pugile della storia. Il suo record d'imbattibilità di 49 incontri è stato battuto soltanto da Floyd Mayweather, il 26 agosto 2017.

Marciano morì in circostanze drammatiche il giorno prima del suo quarantaseiesimo compleanno (31 agosto 1969), precipitando assieme al pilota del suo aereo privato, a Newton, durante un volo condotto in condizioni atmosferiche definite proibitive dal pilota stesso.

È citato in diversi film: in due film della saga di Rocky: Rocky e Rocky V, Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo, Poveri ma belli, A spasso nel tempo, Bronx e Il principe cerca moglie.

Al campione protagonista dell'anime giapponese "Rocky Joe" (Joe Yabuki nell'originale) è stato dato tale nome per il pubblico italiano per avvicinare la potenza del personaggio a quella di Marciano.

Infine, nel 1990 la Pro Loco e i cittadini di Ripa Teatina fecero erigere un monumento in suo onore, e ogni anno un premio in suo onore è assegnato allo sportivo abruzzese dell'anno.)

“I was on my face. I heard the count from one to 10. I kept telling myself that I had to get up, but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t make myself move. It was the strangest feeling.” - Rocky Marciano

[levysoft]

Il 31 agosto del 1969 Rocky Marciano moriva a 46 anni in un incidente aereo: ex campione dei pesi massimi, The Brockton Blockbuster (la bomba di Brockton, questo il suo soprannome) è entrato nella storia del pugilato per la potenza dei suoi colpi, la sua tempra e l’incredibile record di un'intera carriera senza sconfitte.

Rocky Marciano, un mito di origine abruzzese

Pugile statunitense, Rocky Marciano nasce a Brockton, nel Massachusetts, il 1° settembre 1923, registrato come Rocco Francis Marchegiano, figlio di italiani: papà Pierino (che all’anagrafe si chiama in realtà Querino) era arrivato negli Stati Uniti nel 1912, proveniente da Ripa Teatina, in Abruzzo (provincia di Chieti) mentre mamma Pasqualina Picciuto è di Benevento, emigrata negli States nel 1916. Il giovane Rocco conosce il pugilato alla soglia dei 20 anni, nell’esercito americano. Da dilettante è noto come “Rocky Mack”, raccogliendo 9 vittorie e 4 sconfitte: già impressiona per la violenza del suo pugno, ma è tecnicamente impreciso e disordinato. Al debutto, nel 1946, viene squalificato per una ginocchiata all’avversario. Nel 1947 passa professionista e in breve tempo diventa per tutti Rocky Marciano.

Un destro violentissimo chiamato Suzie Q

Peso massimo dal destro micidiale (che lo spesso pugile ribattezza “Suzie Q”), coraggioso, incredibilmente resistente ai colpi degli avversari, Rocky Marciano conserva qualche pecca tecnico-stilistica durante tutta la sua pur straordinaria carriera. Alto 1,79 e con un peso forma tra gli 83 e gli 88 chili, il campione italo-americano spesso parte piano durante i match, studia l’avversario, incassa qualche colpo per poi prendere l’iniziativa e annientare chiunque ha di fronte. La sua immacolata carriera da professionista, che si sviluppa tra il 1947 e il 1955, conta 49 vittorie in altrettanti incontri, con 43 successi per ko (11 al primo round). Nei suoi primi 16 match nessun avversario riesce ad arrivare in piedi all’ultima ripresa: raccoglie nove vittorie al primo round, due al secondo, quattro al terzo e una al quinto; il primo a non andare al tappeto è Don Mogard, al 17° match, il 23 maggio 1949. Rocky, “roccioso”, è l’appellativo perfetto per lui: «È il pugile più irruento che abbia mai incontrato, il numero delle riprese non conta, ha il fiato di un bisonte» dice di lui il fuoriclasse Joe Louis, sconfitto da Marciano per ko tecnico nel 1951. «Ho battuto tutti i miei avversari senza avere nulla di eccezionale – le sue parole, piene di modestia, a Miami nel 1964 in occasione della prima sfida tra Ali e Liston – ho avuto le braccia più corte di tutti i pesi massimi della storia, ma le ho fatte lavorare duro».

Le drammatiche battaglie per il titolo mondiale

Rocky Marciano conquista il titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi il 23 settembre 1952 a Philadelphia, battendo Joe Walcott nell’incontro più drammatico ed emblematico della sua carriera: il campione di Brockton va al tappeto alla prima ripresa, incassa colpi a ripetizione ed è in svantaggio ai punti quando il suo destro, al 13° round, mette al tappeto l’avversario. La rivincita, otto mesi dopo, si chiude in appena 2 minuti e 25 secondi a favore di Marciano. Prova a togliergli il titolo, per due volte, anche “il cobra di Cincinnati” Ezzard Charles, che nel 1954 prima resiste per 15 riprese, perdendo ai punti, e poi va ko dopo 8 round nella rivincita. Marciano conclude le due sfide in trionfo nonostante alcune ferite, che gli fanno rischiare il ko tecnico. L’ultimo incontro del campione americano è datato 21 settembre 1955, contro Archie Moore, con il titolo mondiale in palio. Allo Yankee Stadium di New York, davanti a 61.574 spettatori, Marciano va al tappeto al secondo round, per poi replicare con quattro knock-down prima del ko alla nona ripresa. Pochi mesi dopo, il 27 aprile 1956, ufficializza l’addio alla boxe, prima di compiere i 33 anni: «Per essere un fighter ho combattuto troppo», spiega, nonostante sia ancora campione del mondo in carica dei pesi massimi.

L’incidente aereo del 31 agosto 1969

Nonostante le numerose e ricchissime offerte che gli arrivano nel corso degli anni, Marciano sceglie di non tornare mai più sul ring per non offuscare il suo mito di campione imbattuto. Nella storia del pugilato soltanto Floyd Mayweather Jr ha fatto meglio di lui, chiudendo la sua carriera nel 2017 con 50 vittorie in altrettanti match. Dopo l’addio ai combattimenti Marciano resta nel mondo del pugilato: partecipa a manifestazioni, premi e si fa vedere spesso a bordo ring in occasione di incontri importanti. A 45 anni si rimette in forma per girare un film che lo mette di fronte virtualmente a Muhammad Ali, ma un terribile destino lo attende: il 31 agosto 1969, alla vigilia del suo quarantaseiesimo compleanno, muore in un incidente aereo in volo da Chicago verso Des Moines, capitale dell’Iowa. Sale su un piccolo Cessna 172 alle 18, nonostante il tempo minaccioso, e poco dopo le 20 il velivolo si schianta contro una quercia, in un campo di grano, a causa delle condizioni atmosferiche. Oltre a Marciano muoiono il 37enne pilota Glenn Belz, impresario edile con scarsa esperienza in volo di notte, e Frankie Farrell, assicuratore di 23 anni. Il corpo dell’ex campione resta imprigionato nella carcassa dell’aeroplano mentre gli altri due compagni di viaggio vengono ritrovati senza vita ad alcuni metri dal velivolo, sbalzati fuori nell’urto. Marciano lascia la moglie Barbara Cousins (che morirà di cancro nel 1974) e i figli Mary Ann e Rocco Kevin.

Le origini italiane di Rocky Marciano

Da decenni Ripa Teatina, paese abruzzese di origine del padre di Marciano, celebra e ricorda il campione italoamericano. Dal 2005 è stato istituito anche un premio Rocky Marciano, riservato a personaggi e giornalisti del mondo dello sport.
