"After the fight, one of Rex Layne's friends described Marciano's knockout punch as shearing Layne's front teeth off at the nubs."

"In the end, the New York Times called it the worst beating in Savold's seventeen years in boxing. Savold was hospitalised overnight, because his teeth had been smashed into his gums."
