Rocky Marciano Worn and Autographed Gloves
Brockton's favorite son, Rocky Marciano, was the epitome of heart and grit throughout his unparalleled, undefeated career. His gutty performances were an inspiration to his blue collared legions and his raw power entertained and awed onlookers of every social class. We proudly offer a pair of the Rock's 7.5 oz. sparring gloves originally obtained from the Champ himself. As the accompanying letter of authenticity states, Rocky made frequent visits to a home in Chelsea, Mass. during the 1950's where a close personal friend and local gym owner, Johnny Dunn, resided. Dunn's landlord, who lived on the same premises had two sons that were, like all kids of the day, huge Marciano fans. Rocky would often offer up tips and spar with his young admirers during his time there and naturally a friendship was born. A few short years later, one of the boys suffered a debilitating accident which confined him to a wheelchair. Rock, hearing the news came quickly to check on his condition and offer support. With him he brought a gift, this very pair of brown leather gloves, one of which he signed in black fountain pen (8/10). The leather has remained soft with only minor surface loss at the finger tips and still with their original laces. An amazing symbol of a Champion whose extraordinary accomplishments were only equaled by the size of his heart. LOA from brother of the original recipient.
