It appears courtesy of Bob Yalen. THE EARLY CAREER OF JOE LOUIS - by Bob Soderman Fought his first two pro bouts at Bacon's Arena, 49th Street and Wabash Avenue, on Chicago's South Side, for Promoter George Trafton. Never appeared in a preliminary event; all of his early (and all subsequent) matches were main events. His first two bouts were scheduled for six rounds, with next three being scheduled for eight rounds. First scheduled ten rounder was at Detroit, vs. Alex Borchuk, in his sixth pro fight. In his first 22 matches, scored total of 43 knockdowns. Two foes, Jack Kranz and Hans Birkie, could boast of not having been floored by Louis. Scored most knockdowns, six, in scheduled si,:n round exhibition, vs. Gene Stanton, on May 7, 1935. at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Outweighed his opponent in 18 of 22 bouts; with only Jack O' Dowd, Stanley Poreda, Biff Bennett and Gene Stanton being heavier than Louis. Only four men lasted the distance, in the early bouts: Jack Kranz (8 rounds), Adolph Wiater (10 rounds), Patsy Perroni (10 rounds) and Natie Brown (10 rounds). Received $50.00 for first fight and went on to earn total of $39,614 for his first 22 bouts. In his 23rd bout, vs. Primo Carnera, at New York, on June 25, 1935, Louis' purse was $60,433; one - and - a-half times his earnings for all of his previous matches. Had trouble with several foes; not all of his wins were easy. In second fight, against Willie Davies, Louis forced on defensive in first round when Davies opened up with whirlwind attack. Cut eye in third, plus single knockdown suffered by Davies halts bout. Fourth fight saw hard - punching Jack Kranz rock Louis with hard rights in first round, with only Joe's superior speed and skill enabling him to pile up points and win eight round decision. Was almost knocked out by rugged Alex Borchuk, at Detroit. In second round Alex exploded on Joe's jaw, breaking one of his molars. Under excruciating pain from his broken tooth, Louis was well behind in the fight until he found the range in the fourth and put Borchuk away. In Joe's next fight, Adolph Wiater survived a first round trip to the canvas and from then on gave Louis a terrific battle; scoring with savage body punches and jarring rights to the head. At the end of eight rounds the fight was even, and only Joe's strong showing in the ninth and tenth got him the nod. His eighth fight proved no picnic either. Artie Sykes landed a pair of rights to Louis' left eye in the first round, which forced him to blink throughout the fight and reduced his vision. Sykes scored with more solid rights in the fourth that had Louis worried. At the end of the sixth a few ringsiders had Sykes slightly in front; but Joe stepped up his pace in the seventh and had Sykes groggy at the bell. In the eighth, Joe wasted no time, stunning Artie and forcing him to the ropes. Then, Joe stepped back for an instant, got the range and shot a right cross to the jaw, and that was all for Sykes. Louis learned from every fight. Against a wild-swinging Buck Everett, in his fifth match.., Joe was smart and stepped inside and landed a short right, to drop his man. Against Sykes, when he has Artie covering up on the ropes, he doesn't become excited and waste punches. He steps back, cooly, and gets the range. Champion Max Baer is at ringside in Chicago, on November 30, 1934, when Louis meets his first top-rated opponent, Charley Massera. Baer had to be impressed as Joe shook off some . good Massera rights in round two and destroyed Charley in the third. On December 14, 1934, Lee Ramage gave Louis his stiffest test yet. A picture boxer with a beautiful left hand, Lee is also tricky and very clever. Wisely, old Jack Blackburn, Joe's trainer and teacher, schools him on how to slip a left lead and hook with his left hand at the same time. (continued) 2 THE EARLY CAREER OF JOE LOUIS (continued) The fight attracts 14,988 excited fans, the largest attendance for a Louis fight thus far; who account for a gross gate of $29,986 (equivalent in 1983 dollars to roughly $90,000). For seven rounds Louis tries to connect with a telling punch. He isn't too successful because Ramage is always going away. Lee is scoring points and giving Joe lots of pointers. The eighth round sees Ramage dance out, as fresh and elusive as ever. After about a minute, Louis cuts off the ring and backs Ramage into the ropes. A pair of left hooks land crushingly to the chin and the elusive Ramage is no longer elusive. Down he goes. But he's back up at nine, snarling defiance. Joe moves in like a panther and lands left and right. Lee hits the deck for another nine count. He's game, he's wobbling, but he beckons Louis to come on. A terrific right to the jaw and Lee is down a third time. He looks to his corner. Get up they say, and Lee does. Louis hooks a left, followed by a right to the chin and Ramage's corner throws in the towel, as he goes down once more. The February, 1935 issue of Ring Magazine lists Joe Louis in their top ten ratings for the first time; he's rated ninth, with Max Baer, the champion, on top. Of the other ten names on this list, Louis would meet and defeat seven of them (Baer, Carnera, Schmeling, Levinsky, Perroni, Natie Brown and had just beaten Ramage). The other three, whom Louis would never face were: Steve Hamas, Art Lasky and England's Jack Peterson. Louis racked up six more victories, into April, 1935, after kayoing Ramage in Chicago. He decisioned a cagey Patsy Perroni, scoring three knockdowns; he stopped Hans Birkie in ten, but not before Hans landed a looping left hook early and gave Joe a mouse under the eye; he slaughtered Ramage in two, in a Los Angeles rematch; he annihilated Reds Barry in three heats in San Francisco; he had to go the limit against Natie Brown in Detroit, but took every round in giving Brown a shellacking and he knocked out Roy Lazer in Chicago, in three rounds, packing the Stadium with 17,826 fans and earning his largest purse to date - $12,000. Champion Max Baer had been at ringside for four of these Louis early 1935 triumphs: vs. Perroni, Ramage 6 2 , Barry and Lazer. By now, Baer had signed to defend his title against Braddock and Louis was to meet Carnera, both in June, 1935. The speculation was that Baer would defend his title in September against Louis, if Joe beat Carnera. There was absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind about Baer beating Braddock. As part of the agreement with Promoter Mike Jacobs, who had signed Louis to fight Carnera, Joe could only engage in exhibitions prior to meeting Primo. Within a span of fifteen days, Louis scored four exhibition knockouts in four different cities. On April 22, 1935, Louis took a little over a minute to flatten Biff Bennett, at Dayton, Ohio. On April 25, at Flint, Michigan, Joe toyed with Roscoe Toles for five rounds and then polished him off with a sudden attack in the sixth and last round. On May 3, at Peoria, old foe Willie Davies only lasted two rounds.

  • 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.
