James Braddock vs. Joe Louis ~ June 22, 1937 ~ 'The Skinny'

[Bill Paxtom]

I saw Cinderella Man, Braddock had the bone density in his hands of a 90 year old woman.

Just another bum Joe Louis rolled over in his career of flattening bums. Joe Louis took out more bums than a street sweeper.

"Ouch Mr. Bean"

James J. Braddock

By July 1929 >

James Braddock {Age; 24 years, 0 months} had posted a record of 30-3-3 with {21 KO's},
while moving into the #1 Challenger position for the World Light-Heavyweight
Championship.

After losing {L Dec 15} to Champion - Tommy Loughran on July 18, 1929 for the World
Light Heavyweight Championship >

James Braddock went into a 'tail-spin'.

From that point on, Braddock went a 'pathetic' 9-20-1 with only {4 KO's} in his next
'30-Bouts' over a 4-Year period.

By June 1933 >

James Braddock wasn't even called a 'Trial-Horse' anymore. The {Age; 28 year-old}
former Light-Heavyweight Title Challenger was now labeled as 'a taker and absorber',
and was pretty much written off as 'a bum' with a record of 39-23-4.

The only thing that Braddock had going for himself, was that he was 'durable' and only
had been floored 'twice' in '67-Bouts', and the only time he was stopped, was because
of a cut-eye.
