Can you add more information, please....
What information do you want specifically more?

Loser gets a title shot a year later, winner gets a title shot 2 years later.
Title shot vs,. who? I'm not aware of the particular details on the chronology of the events of the Schmeling/Louis issue.
Jim Braddock was heavyweight champion and Joe got to fight him first.
