	*~~Gate~~: ~~$435~~,~~820~~		*''Life'' magazine reported: "Trying to knock the challenger out with one punch, the 29-year-old Marciano was over-eager and awkward. He lunged, butted, hit below the belt, on the break and after the bell. Once, he swung so wildly that he missed and slipped clumsily to the canvas. Outboxing the champion and avoiding his blows, LaStarza managed to win four of the first six rounds. In the seventh, Marciano changed his tactics, started aiming at LaStarza's body as well as his head in an attempt to wear the challenger down. He succeeded."
	*~~Named~~ [[Ring Magazine Fight of the Year\|''The Ring'' ~~Fight of the Year~~]]		*The Associated Press reported: "Sliced around both eyes and bleeding from a cut on the bridge of his nose, the well-battered LaStarza took a tremendous beating in the last five rounds before Referee [[Ruby Goldstein]] wisely stopped the slaughter."
	*~~LaStarza was knocked through~~ the ~~ropes before~~ the fight was ~~stopped~~.		*The referee took the sixth round away from Marciano for a low blow.

	*~~Some 45 theaters~~ in ~~34 cities across America carried this bout~~.		*"I changed my style of fighting in the seventh round," Marciano said after the fight. "I was behind ... So instead of throwing my right so much I concentrated on hooks and combination punches."
			*"He's a great fighter," LaStarza said in his dressing room after the bout. "He's definitely a better fighter than when I fought him before—5,000 percent better."
			*The fight was named [[Ring Magazine Fight of the Year\|Fight of the Year]] by [[Ring Magazine\|''The Ring'']] magazine.
			*A crowd of 44,562 at the Polo Grounds produced a gate $435,817.
