Biography
Lee Savold starting fighting in a carnival act, challenging "all comers." He held the British and European heavyweight title (1950-1951), withdrawn after Joe Louis knocked him out in the first round of a non-title bout. The next year he lasted seven rounds against Rocky Marciano. For nearly 60 years (1948-2007), Savold held the record for the quickest knockout in a Madison Square Garden main event (54 seconds), with Italy's Gino Buonvino his victim. He retired with a professional record of 65-38-2.
