    0:24 You can see Schmeling's reaction to Louis body punch. That's probably what cracked Schmeling vertebrae.

    Because the bits they didn't include were really boring.

    So, Schmeling beat Louis and Louis beat Schmeling. Seems to me they're dead even. You wouldn't know that by the comments over the years. Schmeling had to fight BOTH fights in New York with heightened war tensions. In the second fight one could say it was a lucky single punch that was responsible for the win, but in the first fight they went into the later rounds and Schmeling weathered all Louis in his prime could dish out. 'Invincibility in his prime' is a joke.

    Yep that's true, Schmeling battering Louis for most of the fight until the KO is more impressive than the first round finish of the second fight imo

    @vario2664 oh yeah, who’s the better fighter, Joe Louis or max schmeling? I’ll take Louis but that’s just me. All it took was for Louis to start being aggressive and schmeling was completely overwhelmed, 3 knockdowns in 2 minutes. Louis went 12 rounds with a game schmeling before being knocked out in the 12th and Louis didn’t lose again for another 15 years in his second career.

    It wasn't what finished the fight, but Louis turning the hard jab that was landing in the first fight into a whipping Roy Jones Jr. type tricky left hook seems to have thrown Schmeling off the game plan he had won the first fight with.
