Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling 1 // Highlights
Спорт
Joe Louis 198 lbs lost to Max Schmeling 192 lbs by KO at 2:29 in round 12 of 15
Date: 1936-06-19
Location: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, USA.
Schmeling spent the first three rounds using his jab while sneaking his right cross behind his jab. Louis was stunned by his rival's style. In the fourth round, a snapping right landed on Louis' chin, and Louis was sent to the canvas for the first time in his twenty-eight professional fights. As the fight progressed, stunned fans and critics alike watched Schmeling continue to use this style effectively, and Louis had no idea how to solve the puzzle.
As rounds went by, Louis suffered various injuries, including one to the eye. Louis remained busy, trying to land a punch that would give him a knockout victory, but, with eyesight trouble and Schmeling's jab constantly in his face, this proved impossible.
By round twelve, Schmeling was far ahead on the judges' scorecards. Finally, he landed a right to Louis' body, followed by another right hand, this one to the jaw. Louis fell near his corner and was counted out by Donovan. This was Louis' only knockout defeat during his first run: the only other knockout happened when Rocky Marciano knocked Louis out fifteen years later. By then, Louis was considered a faded champion and Marciano a rising star.

Beating a young, prime, undefeated Joe Louis is a feat that should not be minimized.

He’s in the hall of fame for a reason so I wouldn’t say it’s underestimated as a feat in itself
Shemeling lived to 99 yrs and he helped Louis when he had his strokes and financial problems.

Real warriors respect one another.
Max Schmeling said after studying film footage of Joe Louis ' fights - " I SEE SOMETHING " He saw that Joe Louis would always drop his arm at a certain time - That was Max's success !
Schmeling running over to Louis after the KO wasn't disrespect, I think he grabbed him to celebrate making history. What a fight. PS Great video!

He went over to Louis to make sure he was ok and even help him to his feet out of respect.
Truth is Louis just got beat, Schmeling fought a great fight..Louis just could not avoid those hard rights from Schmeling..
koo-doss for Schmeling. Only boxer to ever beat Lewis while in his prime. Underrated big time.
this was a really great fight, both these fighters are amazingly skilled, its amazing to see heavyweights use these kinds of advanced techniques
I read that Jack Johnson told scmeling Joe's weakness dropping his left jab.

Schmeling knew from watching films that Lewis dropped his left after throwing a left punch and then trained to capitalize on it. My understanding is that know one informed Schmeling. This is based on a book I read about The Brown Bomber.
Schmeling learned that Louis drops his guard after every punches, that was how he countered effectively
Great counter offense from Schmeling. The punching technique of Louis is amazing.
great upload thank you
This was the best of Schmelling and a particularly poor Louis. Don't be disrespecting either guy, they still be killers today - just in lighter divisions
Back before the camera added 10 pounds
Its crazy how this video hughlight video is longer than when joe louis knocked out schmeling in the first round.
Never fight Joe Louis, the Brown bomber, twice. 😉
Louis didn't have an answer to Schmeling's straight right in this fight, it seems.
Who is doing the commentary?
IMO the greatest upset in heavyweight boxing history. Some say Ali upsetting Foreman in Zaire was the greatest upset, but again IMO great boxers always have a decent chance of defeating great fighters. Ali was still sharp and Foreman had really never gone past 4 rounds, Ali tired Foreman out, then put him out. But these were all great fights and Louis, Schmelling, Ali and Foreman were all good sportsman that showed a lot of class in all their victories and few defeats.
DOPO LA SCONFITTA CON MARCIANO, JOE LOUIS HA DETTO CHE ROCKY AVREBBE POTUTO VINCERE ANCHE NEL SUO PERIODO MIGLIORE!
Louis was never great at ducking, he often didn’t have to. Despite this loss and the famous loss to Marciano when he was in his late 30’s he is regarded as the greatest heavyweight, just look at his win- loss ratio and knockout ratio.

Louis was 37 years old when he fought Marciano...with this being his final fight ever. The old gladiator, Joe Louis, was the real deal and knew that he had passed the torch. What a note to go out on. Poetic even. Still to this day, he holds the longest, continuous heavy weight title holder at 11 years and 10 months. At the end of his career he retired with a record of 56 wins to 1 loss.

Louis lost that as much as Schmelling won imo. I in no way diminish Max skillset as he was great but Louis seems off & awkward to me, almost like he's boxing a Southpaw and keeps walking into Max's right. Plus, many times I saw Max open for a Louis left hook and he kept throwing his right jab over Max's outstretched left and hidden chin as he kept his left shoulder fwd.

Obsessed lol, Marciano fought a heavy version of Louis that was still in his prime. If we throw a young small version of Joe into a fight with prime Rocky what do you really think is going to happen. Rocky would KO him quicker than he did.

@@ardradiva People definitely have their own opinions. Such as, Fury would have been stopped by prime Joe. A champion boxer known to topple giants in his prime. Besides, I'm not impressed by today's boxers compared to the greats of the past. They might be bigger due to nutrition and such...but they don't have the same heart and they tend to gas out...compared to the old fighters of the past who fought 15+ rounds. They were harder men from a harder time.
I cringe every time the commentator mispronounces 'Louis'.

Not sure why anyone would think Louis could have beaten Ali. Louis was a stationary target, no footwork, perfect for Ali! Sorry Joe.

You have it backwards. Ali was not a stationary target. That's why he would avoid Louis and win by decision. Louis did not need to be a moving target.
