Rocky Marciano vs Primo Carnera
Scheduled for 15 rounds.
This "Title Bout" DREAM fight featured a pair of former heavyweight champions at opposite ends of nearly every spectrum. The 5'10, 190 pound ATG Rocky Marciano vs the 6'6, 280 pound NSG (not so great) Primo Carnera.
The Brockton Blockbuster vs The Ambling Alp, who according to the back of his fighter card, "was a fine person and a courageous fighter with only one drawback: He couldn't fight!" His card goes on to say, "Carnera's climb to the top was littered with dives and set-ups. The gangsters that ran Carnera used him and then discarded him when he no longer had any value. Carnera never gave anything but his best in the ring and could take punishment downstairs. However, a hard shot to the chin and down he'd go."
The fight played out exactly like you would expect after reading that fighter bio. It took Rocky Marciano 13 rounds to finally dispose of his much larger foe, who despite his limitations, managed to stick around and take a pretty bloody beating along the way.
Marciano dominated the 1st and almost stopped Carnera early. An uppercut inside found Primo's chin and he crashed to the canvas but somehow rose at the count of 3. Carnera was down again in the 4th from a right cross to the chin but again to the amazement of everyone, he got to his feet at 3. Rocky was all over a dazed Carnera at this point and even opened a cut on the bridge of Carnera's rather large nose.
Marciano made more of mess of Carnera's face in the 5th, reopening the cut on his nose and Rocky added a new cut over the right eye of Carnera with a left hook. Primo hung in there though and his size advantage gave Rocky some trouble. Primo was never really in the fight but he was never totally out of it either, and he even managed to stun Rocky a little in the 8th round with a left-right combination.
Carnera hit the deck again in the 10th, the result of a brutal combination to the head and body from Rocky and this time Carnera was really hurt, barely reaching his feet by 9. Still, Rocky could not finish his wounded foe, who used his size to avoid finishing punches.
A small cut developed under Rocky's right eye in the 11th, and seconds later Carnera was warned for excessive rabbit punching. A desperate Carnera managed to open a second cut on Rocky's face, a small cut over The Rock's left eye in the 12th.
Trailing way behind on the scorecards going into the 13th, Carnera needed a knockout but it was Rocky who found his knockout punch, flattening Carnera with a dynamic combo that started with an uppercut and ended with a crushing right to the jaw. This time, Carnera stayed down, and was counted out at 1:34 of the 13th round.
Result: Rocky Marciano KO13 Primo Carnera
Score at time of stoppage: 119-105, 117-108, and 116-109 all in favor of Rocky Marciano.
Time of stoppage: 1:34 of the 13th round.

Due to some limitations you did not agree with the Vitaly Klit vs Rocky match up...
Can you do Carnera vs Frazier...I always thought Carnera was underrated and Frazier will have trouble dealing with such a large man...
Edit :- I mean to say Frazier will win not without considerable trouble.

See !!!!!..... what have I just been saying,... ROCKY.ATG.
May I suggest for Quarry Vs Weaver.......... "Murder In The Garden",... Hyperbole and boxing go hand in hand...... (the fight to be held at Madison Square Garden obviously).
