September 23, 1952, Appleton Post-Crescent
Sometimes there was no recourse except to turn on the nearest radio. If it wasn't on TV, it might have been on costly pay-per-view telecasts in local theaters, though it might not have been available in the Fox Valley. A fight of this caliber on radio was a steal. And fans of the time were still used to radio, as television was still finding its sea legs in the early '50's, so nobody thought twice about listening. Sometime down the road, they might eventually see highlights on a newsreel at the local movie house. By the way, Marciano knocked out Jersey Joe in the 13th round to take the belt.
