Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

On January 25, 1939 ........... Joe Louis ..... {KO 1} .... John Henry Lewis
Joe Louis floored John Henry Lewis '3-times'
But at the time, John Henry Lewis was nearly blind in his left-eye, due to cataracts. And his sight
for the right-eye was not good as well.
John Henry Lewis never fought again after that bout, due to deteriorating vision problems.

Also Joe was a friend of his so dispatched him in 1 round so as not to hurt him too much.Yes.
But at the time, John Henry Lewis was 'partially blind' in one eye.
