  • 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.

  • Lightweight Legends
    Lightweight Legends Back when things were in Black and white and Boxing had only 8 weights classes, Lightweight was one of the toughest division’s to make a name for yourself fast forward to today things haven’t changed much. Lightweight still has some of the elite performers in the game. Granted things aren’t as hot at 135 as they have been in the past years. That could all change this weekend when Juan Manuel Marquez heads back to the more cosy confines of Lightweight after his sojourn to a Welterweight catchweight against Floyd Mayweather. His opponent this time at least seems mortal, a rematch with Juan Diaz. Last February Diaz’s youth, size and strength seemed as though they would help him gain the biggest win of his career to date. Slowly but surely Marquez refined and tuned his considerable skills, creating gaps in Diaz defence until landing two howitzer right hands that dropped Diaz before conclusively ending the argument with a devastating right uppercut. It was ultimately one of the top fights of 2009. Also on Saturday’s card will be Robert Guerrero & Joel Casamayor, though the fight is a few pounds above the Lightweight limit the winner will most likely look to fight the winner of the main event. Just a few pounds south at 130 Jorge Linares and Rocky Juarez duel in an intriguing fight in which the loser has no place to go. It’s not quite the Lightweight Lightening that took place last April when eight of the top Lightweights were scheduled to face off, though it never quite worked out.

  • Advanced Information
    Title information The Great Benny Leonard Mama's Boy to World Champ Key features • Long overdue retelling of a remarkable story and a definitive account of the life and career of one of the greatest boxers • A true legend – in a 20-year pro career Leonard amassed 212 contests and lost just five • Practically every man he fought considered Benny the best opponent they had faced • Looks at Leonard’s early life in a crime-infested New York ghetto • A self-confessed ‘mama’s boy’, Leonard retired because of his mother’s poor health, but was forced to make a comeback seven years later when he lost his fortune through the 1929 Wall Street Crash • Leonard served in both World Wars and trained thousands of troops in boxing fitness • Publicity campaign planned including radio, newspapers, websites, podcasts and magazines Description Benny Leonard was arguably the greatest lightweight champion of all time. With superb boxing skills and potent punching power, he fought over 200 times and suffered just five defeats. He spent his boyhood in a crime-ridden ghetto in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and was the greatest of a long line of Jewish boxers to emerge from the slums. Leonard was still only 19 when he knocked out Freddie Welsh to become world lightweight king in 1917. He defended the title eight times and retired as undefeated champion in 1925, to please the only woman he loved, his mother. But the 1929 Wall Street Crash wiped out his fortune and he was forced to make a comeback at 35.

  • Boxing Brothers
    Dave, Another notable brother boxing duo was Meldrick Taylor and Myron Taylor, contemporaries of Dicky Eklund and Mickey Ward. Meldrick Taylor was the 1984 Olympic gold medalist in the featherweight division and later on was the IBF junior welterweight champion and the WBA world welterweight champion. Meldrick Taylor's career included two matches with Julio Cesar Chavez, video clips of which can be found on line. Myron Taylor was a noted featherweight boxer. In 1988 Taylor fought Dominick Monaco at the Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden. I attended that fight. Taylor scored a 7-round TKO over Monaco who put up a stout defense but ultimately could not completely fend off Taylor's devastating punches. Between Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler, Max Baer and Buddy Baer, and Meldrick Taylor and Myron Taylor there is probably enough material to make several feature motion pictures. My personal favorite would be a Max Baer - Buddy Baer movie. They were two brothers, both openly identifying themselves as Jewish, who fought at a time when anti-Semitism was at its most virulent. If properly treated, their story would make a great movie. These six gentlemen, as well as Julio Cesar Chavez, Dominick Monaco, Dicky Eklund and Mickey Ward, were real-life Rocky Balboas. Phil -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: Sent: Mon, Jan 10, 2011 9:16 am Subject: Max Baer - Buddy Baer Dave, Before the Dicky Eklund-Mickey Ward brother boxing duo, there was another noted brother boxing duo, Max Baer and Buddy Baer. Max Baer's career was incredible. A world champion himself in 1934-35, he fought four world champions, Max Schmeling, Joe Louis, James J.
