Writer Picks Marciano to KO Charles in Seven
In Monticello New York UP reports Zard Charles may be the best all round fighter Rocky Marciano faced yet. The writer still picks Marciano to knock out Charles within seven rounds Thursday night as Charles trains at Kutsher's Country Club. Marciano's 45 straight wins and 40 knockouts are noted along with his improving ability to throw rapid combinations and body punches. Charles, taller and heavier, may have advantages, but Rocky's ruggedness and relentless punching pose danger from bell to bell.
