Just checked that link (above post) and it takes you to Tommy Gibbons...apologies. If you enter "graziano" in the Search box on the page you'll get the relevant hit to the Rocky Graziano link.

i watched the film 'someone up there likes me' but there was a few things that i found incorrect. In the film Rocky went to prison after a brief pro period, the gym instructure said Graziano had 6 fights all ko's, but according to his record he only won the first 4 i think, also he was in prison in the movie for 1 year but his record did not indicate a break after 6 fights.

anyone any info on this.

His follow up "Somebody down here likes me too." is a stinker :(

He kinda repeats much of the first book in less detail...but gives it big his showbiz connections...which from a boxing viewpoint is just plain boring.

As said the "SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME" is very good

ROCKY WENT TO PRISION WHILE STILL IN THE ARMY FOR BAD CONDUCT. HE LOST THE RIGHT TO FIGHT IN NY FOR NOT REPORTI9NG THE BRIBE.

Thought you might like to see a "out of the ring" picture or two.
