The 1951 fight between Rocky Marciano and Rex Layne is being shown on ESPN Classic Tuesday night at 10:30 pm ET. Layne was a Mormon from Utah and a noted heavyweight contender of the time. Marciano had to win this fight to get the Joe louis bout later that year.

Sorry, I made a mistake. The fight is being shown on Wednesday night July 20 at 10:30 pm ET, not on Tuesday night as I mistakenly wrote in my original post.
