An amazing time capsule of 1960s American sports/culture/history. I also loved the pre-fight ceremony that included boxers such as Willie Pep, Rocky Marciano, and Joe Louis! It is hard to imagine all those iconic sports figures being all together in Lewiston, Maine.

My Dad if he was still alive would have loved this. Rocky Marciano, his favorite, was here for a few moments before the fight, and Joe Lewis and Jersey Joe Walcott, also favorites. The fight and the story are wonderful and I intend to write about it in my blog Mystery in the History. I would appreciate it if I could also use the video you’ve used here. Please advise. Thank you, Nancy
