How old was Marciano when he had his first Amateur fight? and what was the rock's amateur record?
Here is Marciano's amateur record:
April 15, 1946 Henry Lester DQ
= according to my notes, the inexperienced Marciano was getting battered along the ropes and drew up his knee in defense, striking Lester in the groin or stomach, and losing on a DQ.
AAU Championship Tournament
Portland, Oregon August, 1946

Fred Fischera KO
George McGinnis W 3
- according to my notes, Marciano injured his hand against McGinnis and dropped out of the tournament.
Rocky was born September 1, 1923, so that would have made him 22 in April 1946.
