When Rocky Marciano steps into the ring at Yankee Stadium at 10:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 20, he will be defending not only his world heavyweight championship but an unbeaten professional record as well. Born Rocco Marchegiano in Brockton, Mass. 32 years ago (one year earlier than he admits), Marciano has won 48 fights, 42 by knockouts. His challenger, Archie Moore, the light-heavyweight champion, has far from an unbeaten record (120 wins in 144 fights) but possesses experience and dexterity which the slugging Marciano lacks. Archie is convinced he will win and says just that—and how he will do it—in a CONVERSATION PIECE on page 18.
