(Original Caption) 8/11/1953-Grossinger, NY- Those formidable fists belonging to world heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano are now pounding away at training equipment, including a few sparring partners, at Grossinger, New York. The reason for the current punching sessions is Rocky's forthcoming defense of his crown against challenger Roland LaStarza, at the Polo Grounds on September 24th.
