For all his brutality in the ring, onetime middlewight champ Rocky Graziano displayed a subtler touch on canvases of a different kind after his retirement, as an artist. The Rock captured the essence of one his fights in this 20" x 24" pencil and charcoal sketch in which he lets fly a right hook at his opponent, The framed painting, which was displayed at an "Athlete as Artist" exhibit, is signed by the champ on the lower left and is in excellent condition.
