I hate to admit it, but I remember that fight well. We all thought Walcot got hosed and even Joe knew it. However, he redeemed himself in the rematch. JJW was a cuties' cutie and good do things in the ring that were astounding. He also had a deadly left hook with great hand speed.

From what I have read Louis was walking out of the ring thinking he had lost and they had to call him back to raise his arm. Louis was old that's the only reason it was competitive. Walcot was winning the second fight as well until Louis landed some vicious punches late to put him away.

That is absoutley correct. Louis knew he lost.
