James Braddock vs. John Henry Lewis ~ "The Worst Decision Ever At MSG'

[Bill Paxtom]

Is this John Lewis that got knocked out by Joe Louis in one of his defences?

Yes.

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.
