FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

Easton Pa., May 13, 2010 - Larry Holmes whose left jab is considered one of the greatest weapons in the history of sports, made twenty successful title defenses during his reign as the 1978-1985 World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, proudly announces that he supports the family of Rocky Marciano as they "KNOCKOUT  BULLYING across America now and forever." 

"I got into boxing because I was bullied and it was my way of dealing with the bullies of my day.  I learned how to work hard and gain confidence, in myself, without letting the bullies get the upper cut." states the Former Heavyweight Champ. 

The Marciano's are calling on their friends and communities across America, to help them in their fight against bullying. ''To help end this negative behavior, we all need to be supportive and stand united against this opponent.'' states Rocky Marciano Jr.  ''To have Larry Holmes come out and support the Marciano family in Kickin' Its campaign against bullying is terrific and an honor''. ~Rocky Marciano Jr.

''Having Larry's support, in this national campaign, is as powerful as his left jab.'' states Peter Marciano Jr., Rockys nephew.  ''Larry sharing that he was bullied is a strong example for the youngsters to follow.  Anyone who is being bullied needs share what they are going through, they need to confide in a trusted adult. If you suspect someone is being bullied, we encourage you to stand up and be the voice, in their fight. ~Peter Marciano Jr.  

"With everyone learning about the “Kickin It” Campaign and how to help today’s young generation deal with bullying, we can help them strive for a better tomorrow!''  ~passionately stated by the Former Champ.
