This is how former heavyweight champ Joe Louis went down for the first time in his bout with Rocky Marciano in New York's Madison Square Garden Oct.26, 1951. Marciano, from Brockton. Mass. has just landed a hard left hook on the eighth round and stares at the Brown Bomber (top).  Louis dazed, but still retaining some of the ring savvy that carried him through more than a decade of world title defense, bounces (bottom) against the rope and starts to rollover preparatory to taking an eight count on the knee.
