Ezzard Charles vs Bob Satterfield // Highlights

Ezzard Charles 189 lbs beat Bob Satterfield 180 lbs by KO in round 2 of 10 Date: 1954-01-13 Location: Chicago Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA. “A revitalized Ezzard Charles, 189, dropped a bomb on Bob Satterfield, 180, in Chicago Stadium last night to touch off a gigantic buildup for a heavyweight title bout with champion Rocky Marciano. Charles, who gets the chance to become the first fighter in history to regain the heavyweight crown, pole-axed Satterfield in the first minute of the 2nd round with one of the hardest left hooks he ever has thrown. Satterfield was set up for the mighty finishing blow by absorbing a right to the midsection. As he started to bend forward, Charles’ piston-like left caught him flush on the chin. He went over backwards and hit the canvas so hard resin dust flew. He lay lifelessly until referee Frank Gilmer tolled out the full count.“ -Associated Press
