When the match was signed, it shaped up as the "fight of the year" because of the attention commanded by Rocky and Harry. Unbeaten Marciano's 'knockouts had ended Joe Louis' comeback campaign and had stopped the "white-hope" march of Rex Layne. Those were notable tri ump'is as Roeky hammered out his string of 41 consecutive vic tories, including 36 knockouts. But Matthews, "Pride of the Northwest," was unbeaten in nine years and he was cham pioned loudly by congressmen in Washington when the Interna tional Boxing Club appeared to be stalling on the match.
