9' AT, WIT 1. 9 , rge4 WOOltTitie Protest Lost CHICAGO, May 8 M—The Illinois Athletic Commission, voicing disappointment of Jer s e y Joe Walcott's showing against Rocky Marciano and urging his retirement, today rejected a protest of the fight by the aged ex-champion's manager. • There was little drama at the commission's hearing as Chairman Livingsthn Os b or n e ruled that Marciano's knockout of Walcott in Chicago Stadium Friday night "stands- as official" and all five points of a written protest are "disallowed." Unless Felix .Bocchicchio, Wal cott's manager, and his attorney, Angelo Malandra, decide to seek legal action against the decision in the courts, the case is closed. Both men attended a special showing ,of a three-dimensional film of the heavyweight title bout prior to the hearing, and charged they had been edited. Bocchicchio then went to Chicago Stadium and picked up a check from the International Boxing Club for $250,000 as Walcott's guarantee, before appearing at the Commis sion with Malandra. The film. showed conclusively that Walcott stirred only slightly at the audible count of ten and then arose, somewhat wobbily, after being waved out by Referee Frank Sikora. In slow motion and conven tional speed they showed that Rocky's kayo punch. in 2:25 of the first round was a left hook partially blocked followed by a combination right cross-uppercut sort of blow to the chin. The right did not appear to be . as devastating as the head-snap ping right cross _Rocky landed eight months ago in Philadelphia to put Walcott away - in the 13th round. But it was the damaging blow, and not the, left hook that most television fans thought did the trick. Walcott's back was to the TV cameras, but the 3-D films captured his dazed look• -through the fifth or sixth count tolled-out • by Sikora at his side and the offi cial knockdown timekeeper Mike Murphy. •It showed him on , his haunches, one arm over a rope, and his face trained on his corner and Bocchicchio.
