THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 27, 1951 Page 12 has a banner headline: "Marciano Knocks Out Louis in Eighth Round of Heavyweight Fight in Garden" and one column subheads: "Ex-Champion Loses To Brockton Boxer" "Louis Is Knocked From Ring by Marciano's Right to Jaw in 2;36 of 8th Round" "Referee Disdains Count" "Goldstein Waves End to Fight With Brown Bomber Lying on Back Outside Ropes" (see).
Included is a detailed report about the fight, plus several related reports. There is also a four column action photo captioned: "Rocky Marciano watches Joe Louis sag to canvass after a left to the jaw in eighth round. The Bomber arose after a count of eight."
