  • 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.

  • 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.

As an amateur he was a junior ABA finalist on two occasions, a senior ABA finalist, boxed internationally against Denmark, reached the finals of the European Championships in Dublin, and also won a Welsh title. As a professional boxer he suffered greatly from cuts around his eyes in the later stages of his career yet he met and beat some of the top fighters in the world. He was a world rated welterweight contender by The Ring from December 1951 until February 1956, his highest rating number four. He reigned as the British and Empire welterweight champion and in a professional career lasting from 1949 to 1956 he won 42 of his 54 contests, with 11 defeats – mostly due to cuts - and one draw. He was one of the most effective southpaws of all time, yet if the old Birkenhead club trainer Tommy Murray would have had his way Wally would have been an orthodox boxer. Wally’s interest in boxing was stirred by his father who bought him a speed ball from a sports shop in Grange road Birkenhead.
