Cockell Picked To Lose Fight In 16 To 20 Foot Ring
SAN FRANCISCO May 13 Cockell expected to be defeated by heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano in a 16 to 20 foot ring after California officials failed to approve a larger arena. Cockell’s camp argued for a 20 foot Civic Auditorium ring but the 16 foot ring was kept, and a substitute Cow Palace ring was used for photos. Marciano rests ahead of weigh-in, Cockell plans final training in San Rafael before Monday’s bout.
