ROLAND LA STARZA
Black and white publicity photograph of a young Roland La Starza in a boxing ring posed
to box.
Photograph signed: "Roland/La Starza". B/w, 8x10 overall, image 6½x9 (one surface). Roland
La Starza (1927-2009) fought Rocky Marciano for the heavyweight boxing title on
September 24, 1953. For six rounds he held his own with the champ, but in the later rounds
Marciano pummeled the tiring challenger until the referee stopped the fight in the eleventh. It
was the first defeat for La Starza after 57 wins, 24 by knockout. La Starza never really came
back from that title bout, losing 5 of his remaining seven fights. La Starza got some film and
TV acting roles in the 1960s and early seventies, even winning a regular role in the series The
Gallant Men (1962-1963). Slightly grainy image. Otherwise, fine condition.
