  • Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards
    Biography He was born Maximilian Adelbert Baer in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of German immigrant Jacob Baer (1875-1938), who had a Jewish father and a Lutheran mother, and Dora Bales (1877-1938). His older sister was Fanny Baer (1905-1991), and his younger sister and brother were Bernice Baer (1911-1987) and boxer-turned actor Buddy Baer (1915-1986). His father was a butcher. The family moved to Colorado before Bernice and Buddy were born. In 1921, when Maxie was twelve, they moved to Livermore, California, to engage in cattle ranching. He often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. He turned professional in 1929, progressing steadily through the ranks. A ring tragedy little more than a year later almost caused him to drop out of boxing for good. Baer fought Frankie Campbell (brother of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Adolph Camilli) on August 25, 1930 in San Francisco and knocked him out. Campbell never regained consciousness. After lying on the canvas for nearly an hour, Campbell was finally transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he eventually died of extensive brain hemorrages. An autopsy revealed that Baer's devastating blows had knocked Campbell's entire brain loose from the connective tissue holding it in place within his cranium. This profoundly affected Baer; according to his son, Max Baer, Jr., he cried and had nightmares over the incident for decades afterwards. He was charged with manslaughter. Although he was eventually acquitted of all charges, the California State Boxing Commission still banned him from any in-ring activity within their state for the next year.

  • Name: Jim Braddock Career Record: &Cat=Boxer
    Name: Jim Braddock Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=012072 &cat=boxer Alias: The Cinderella Man Birth Name: James Walter Braddock Nationality: US American Birthplace: New York, NY, USA Hometown: North Bergen, NJ, USA Born: 1905-06-07 Died: 1974-11-29 Age at Death: 69 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6' 2? Reach: 78 Division: Heavyweight Managers: Alfred M. Barnett; Joe Gould Trainer: Doc Robb Also known as "James J. Braddock" Career Overview Like the man himself, the legacy of Jim Braddock has experienced an unexpected comeback. The popularity of the 2005 motion picture "Cinderella Man" directed by Ron Howard brought his name back into the minds of a general public that had entirely forgotten about him. Though the film romanticized some of the everyman appeal of Braddock’s story, the remarkable tale of his journey from impoverished dock worker to owner of the richest title in sports is entirely true. Overcoming the starvation and destitution of the Depression, chronic injuries to his right hand, and twenty-three professional losses inside of five years through determination and hard work, Braddock’s story represents one of the great aspects of the sport of boxing: its presentation of opportunity to the apparently hopeless and its occasional rewarding of hard work over natural talent. Which is not to say that he lacked talent. Fast and skilled, Jimmy showed skill as a boxing counter puncher. Possessed of a thunderous right hand punch and known as a determined competitor, Braddock suffered just two knockout losses in eighty-six pro outings. On top of that, he fought eight bouts against hall of fame competition and etched himself a place in the hall over a twelve year career.
