    Max was staying in a hotel when he suffered a heart attack. He managed to ring reception and ask for a doctor. The desk clerk said; " Do you want a house doctor? " and Max replied; " No, I want a people doctor! " Then he died, joking to the last. What a man!

      Joe Berger Boxing was very different back then. Baer actually almost quit boxing after he killed Frankie Campbell. It fucked him up so bad that he lost 4 out of his next 6 fights because he was afraid to go all out. That's when he started clowning around. He obviously got his killer instinct back, but he never became the fighter that he could have been. He also supported Campbell's kids all the way up to paying for their college educations, AND he also paid all of Primo Carnera's hospital bills after he demolished him in the ring. He was very generous.

    Max wasn't a boxer at all, but he was one of the greatest natural born fighters ever born, incredible power, iron chin, with a killer instinct.

      15 rounds were rare in heavyweight. the greatest champs got and lost their titles in less than 10 rounds (liston, frazier, foreman). in modern times with 12 rounds vitali klitschko went the distance 4 times in all of his fights, deontay wilder even only once. and though champions only fight twice a year and not 6 times like in 1930-1960, some are in perfect shape throughout their career till their 40s which proves that there are still boxers training hard and watching their nutrition throughout the year. @@Alex-cw3rz

He squandered what skills he had with a lot of heavy partying, smoking, and not training as earnestly as he should have. Quite the personality- and a deadly right hand puncher. You can see where Jethro gets his comic skills.

    Baer's reputation was that of a playboy, a party animal. A person who didn't take boxing very seriously. Yet every time I watch these old fight films, I never see him as being out of shape. He always appeared to have that chiseled body. So I'm thinking that reputation must have been highly exaggerated.
    Maybe he fooled most people because he always liked to play to the camera and act as a goofball, because when it came to training and getting in shape, physically he certainly did not look
    like a boxer that avoided the gymnasium.

      He went into that fight with shambles of what resembled his right hand...He insisted on having the fight even though the doctor said his hands would rather he never fight again. His doctor said if he truely felt he had to fight then he would get permission to give him a shot to numb his right hand (which was a fair bit worse than his left), he got permission but when he gave it to baer the fight was delayed by rain...By the time the fight started the anesthetic was mostly worn off and baer had to fight joe with a right hand that felt like it was full of shards of glass everytime it hit something and a chipped left knuckle. Your body will literally stop you from hitting with a broken hand, its like biting through your tongue; you technically could do it easily but your mind makes it impossible.

Had Campbell pinned in a corner and pounded him again and again with brutal right hands. Campbell died the next day. The Dr. said this his brain had been knocked completely loose from his skull. One of THE hardest punching heavyweight champs of all time. Died in 1959 from a heart attack at the age of 50.

    Most people won't have an appreciation for the timeless power Max had. They see some old footage and think he was just a tough guy from another era. Know this, folks: Max Baer had absolute cannons, some of the greatest punching power in the history of the sport, maybe the biggest overhand right of all time.

  • @Alex-cw3rz
    @Alex-cw3rz Рік тому +3

    Something else to look at is his accuracy his opponents are moving a lot yet he is landing almost every single shot. Now accuracy was higher back then than modern day, but Max was exceptionally accurate especially with that overhand right.

    Interesting side note about Max: A year before he fought Carnera for the title- he fought a "mock" fight against him in the movie- "The Prizefighter and The Lady". It ended in a draw.In 1956- he played a fighter named Buddy Brannen (who was modeled on Baer) in "The Harder They Fall". He fought a character based on Primo Carnera. It was Humphrey Bogart's last film.

    I'm absolutely fascinated with Max Baer. As a boxing fan, like my dad and my uncles I always considered Marciano my hero. I didn't know much about Baer however, thanks to these You Tube videos I've gotten to know and respect him enormously. Man, he really kicked the crap out of the Italian giant of a man Primo Carnera. Sad that he passed so young.

    The great thing about the Carnera fight is that it showed what training in a martial art can do for the smaller man - not always, but it's possible. I also love how Max shifts his weight as he goes down to the body and works his way back up to the head.
