Braddock fought an incredibly skilled fight, consistently beating Baer to the punch, changing stances, getting inside. He had clearly studied Baer, knew what to do, and did it. Absolutely masterclass, and a deserving champion.
Russell Crowe sure did a great job in "Cinderella Man" in replicating Braddock. Watching the actual fight here is fantastic. Thanks for loading these old clips.
Definitely! Also thought that the guy portraying Max Baer in the movie did a good job with Baer's mannerisms ie fight pose, putting his left hand on Braddock's head to set up for the right, and pulling up his own shorts
I am right now..interesting that there was some exchange between Braddock's mgr and Baer during the instructions..albeit not as dramatic as in the movie
Boxing fans are definitely the luckiest. You can watch FULL fights from 100 years ago! I can't even find full games of Wilt Chamberlain and that was like 1970, all you can find is random highlights. I even struggle to find games from the 80s. This fight was 1935 and you get to see it all it's amazing. You can even go back further and see Jack Johnson and his era! You can pretty much find almost every fight. God I wish the same was true for basketball.
Prime example of when a cocky, underprepared champion doesn't take a more hungrier and well-prepared challenger seriously. Baer was completely outboxed & outclassed by the Cinderella Man. 👍🏼💪🏼
Baer was unprepared because he never recovered mentally from killing 2 guys in the ring. He started drinking heavily and didn't take train g seriously. Movie didn't get that part right
Ya that's true I have thought about how difficult it must have been with clothing, imagine dealing with wool if you found it itchy or wearing clothes for weeks at a time because you just could not afford to wash them.
@@mowler8042 Just messing but, it really was his son to be Jethro. Check it out. Max Baer, the actor, is still alive, I think. Interesting stuff......so, I thought.
My oldest brother was in the Air Force Reserves with Max Baer Jr. (before Beverly Hill Billies) and he was one of the nicest guys in his unit. I'd like to me him someday (I guess road trip to Vegas).
peoples comments are ridiculous this was a great fight and it was braddocks 84th fight thats a lot of hits to the head great fight in my opinion love the nostalgia
In the movie "Cinderalla man", Braddock's bald, bespectacled cornerman was the kid cornerman in the real 1935 fight. Welcome to the human family; enjoy your time here.
Accept that they unnecessary demonized a good man just for the sake making a movie. Max Bear was a really good human being. He lost because he was in depression because he had killed two men in ring prior to it and became a drunk after that filled with dispair paid bills of those families who got killed at his hands. He is a good human being. Its just that people died because of his game and he was that good
Look at "Jethro Bodine's" dad go!! Although boxing is dramatic in itself, it's just amazing how Hollywood can intensify the drama. This is great history!
Achilles 1776 He WAS NOT working when he collected it. However he earned money by boxing and paid what he had been allotted back. Had he simply kept it he would not have done anything WRONG. However by GIVING IT BACK he did give the media a chance to imply it was a loan or that to take it in the first place was wrong. I have explained why it was designed. A man who refused it and let his family go without or he himself felt more manly not taking it ... that is a lack of integrity... and stupidity.
4 роки тому+1
Achilles 1776 Apparently I NEED CAPS because some people think like third graders and need the point SPELLED out. I am certain Braddock meant well. My POINT was that at THAT time people misunderstood the whole concept of Welfare or public assistance. It had at least a duel purpose. To keep America from falling into starvation and famine. You get a good famine going and even the Rich and connected are in danger. Next, am economy only functions even for the wealthy businesses if people are at least able to buy bologna. That money Jim spent ended up going to merchants and being taxed as well. Finally... to those in the know we were EVENTUALLy Going to need men to fight in the war as it was inevitable. The sad part was ignorance. People as I mentioned Jim’s friend REFUSED to take assistance out a misplaced sense of pride. He died needlessly in filmed with anger and shame in HOOVERSVILLE. Please try to grasp: It was actually in the best interest of the country NOT to have it people sick and starving. When the media made a big deal of Jim REPAYING the assistance it contributed to the misunderstanding of why and what the purpose of it was. I have family that KNEW if Braddock and of course especially Bering of Irish decent felt a pride. We have discussed this issue and although it was 30 years ago that was the conversation. I also who have family( men) who died of malnutrition related diseases after refusing to take assistance... Jim meant well but it actually hurt some people. [ Nobody EVER mentioned people were upset with HIM for taking assistance while boxing. It didn’t happen.Actually there wasn’t anybody who even realized he took assistance until it was reported I. The papers he gave it back.
Awesome to see these old fights..Wish I could see it in its entirety (full 3 min rounds)..Makes you realize though, that boxing isnt dead, as I've seen more exciting fights over the past few years...
...and introducing from this corner...!!! This announcer made hundreds from this introduction! Remember...hundreds were rare and great during these days! God bless them all, and thankyou for fighting your hearts out!A,
The commentator is John Rawlings, who is English, and the current commentator for Box Nation in the UK. He does it well. This is the first time I've seen the fight - having previously read of it - so thanks for posting. Max lost some of his ring spite after the Frankie Campbell fight and - likely - the beating he gave Earnie Schaap, who collapsed and died when fighting his next opponent, Primo Carnera.
Jim braddock son Howard gave Russell Crowe a receipt from where braddock returned his welfare money back to public assistance. Russell said it was the greatest gift hes ever recieved. That's cool!!
After watching a few times I'm astonished to realize how little talent Max had. He needed a couple more years of amateur fights. He lacked most fundamentals.
Actually, he's very talented because he actually lacks basic boxing fundamentals but became a world boxing champion despite not being a boxer but a wrestler.
Just like most people online do, they jump to hasty conclusions and make their opinions known before doing any research on the matter. As with anything, it's important to learn history from all perspectives of those involved. By doing so, you are much more likely to be deemed as having any real knowledge of the topic.
He had power in his punches, lots of energy, and could take a punch. But no argument about fundamentals. My view is he showed his best against Carnera, who was slow, a bit clumsy, and despite great height had less reach. Braddock was quick, game, and determined.
I seen some odd comment saying how the 30s-40s were in black in white and at a lower fps that's why they look way less advanced and if they were in color with higher fps they would be more advanced Is that possible it can fix obsolete flaws and add better tech/fluid/timing/defense can adding color and higher fps manipulate footage so they would look as advanced as guys in 70s-90s?
A História desse homem é algo prá não esquecermos.Fantástico Braddock,que provou que não existe limites quando se quer conquistar algo na vida.Que Deus o tenha sempre!
Baer needed distance to leverage his right hand. Braddock didn't allow it instead moving under Baer's punches and bulling his way inside and putting his head under Baer's chin. Great, great fight.
Thanks for posting this important piece of boxing history. It’s a classic example of a “champ” who didn’t prepare well, and a hungry challenger. Baer was a tiger against Carnera, but pathetic here. Exclnt announcer, too - he followed and called the action well. (Well edited, too.)
The depiction of Max Baer is wrong though. He was a good man and you can see them embracing at the end of the fight. He paid the collage fees for the children of the men he killed in the ring and felt horrible because of it. I understand a little bit of Hollywood story telling, but they depicted a good man very poorly
Yeah Max Baer was a great guy in real life, but he was also terrifying, he was big, muscular, had more power than anyones seen before and couldn't be knocked out. He also had a explosive temper and killed 2 guys. There were times in this fight where he was aggressively coming at Braddock laughing!!!! Braddock had some balls of steel I'd shit myself personally
Without a doubt it was a glorious win for James Braddock, but while trying to glorify it even more the movie "Cinderella Man" failed to do proper justice with Max Baer. This video revealed that, not just Baer was a great boxer but a true example of Sportsmanship. He was only 26 yo but maturity level is just amazing. Hats Off.
Max Baer was never the same after he was responsible for inflicting the second death of an opponent. Even Braddock, commented Baer was "too nice" to be heavyweight champion. It happens to most boxers if they cause a death of a opponent.
Great footage! I guy I used to work for always talked about Braddock affectionately ,he lived in north Bergen, nj and went through the depression like in the movie Cinderella Man. Braddock was one of the greatest boxers pound for pound of all time , guess I a little biased cause I m from the area ,take care, stay safe
Baer never really did throw his right bomb very much, so maybe the talk about a training injury has something to it. Although it may also be possible that an experienced quick fighter like Braddock may have found a way to duck it, and prevent it from connecting most of the time.
The commentator sounds very clear, contemporary and recent in relation to the sound quality of the rest of the film. Sure it’s original commentary? If so- remarkable sound quality!
I seen some odd comment saying how the 30s-40s were in black in white and at a lower fps that's why they look way less advanced and if they were in color with higher fps they would be more advanced Is that possible it can fix obsolete flaws and add better tech/fluid/timing/defense can adding color and higher fps manipulate footage so they would look as advanced as guys in 70s-90s?

Baer waited until the 15th round to start fighting with any real desire and determination., That is not an approach that wins fights. Why wasn't he doing the same in the earlier rounds? Braddock earned the win.
I gotta wonder if Baer threw this fight. He is nowhere near as aggressive here as he was with Schmelling and Carnera. Maybe Baer knew that Braddock was the morale boost that society needed and maybe just showed up to fight. He did a lot of clowning around and tried to make it look good. He also seemed to underestimate Braddock just enough to where he thought he could knock him out later on, but it wasn't to be. Nothing against Braddock, but Baer just didn't look like he was in it.
What happened to all the low blows Baer threw, like in the movie? Never happened? Edited out here? Who knows? Also in the movie, Braddock threw 1 head butt which was quite noticeable. In the actual fight there were dozens of butt's by Braddock.
The movie was portraying Bear as an asshole while he was really a nice and funny guy and Braddock appeared to be king of the head butt in real boxing life .
When you see a movie based on real facts most of the times you can't check how close was it to the actual facts. Getting to watch the fight at the end of the movie and then seeing the actual game that took place all those decades ago it's really interesting.
No surprise that the REAL fight was completely different than the Cinderella Man "hyped up" version. JJB was definitely not to be denied that night, but Baer looked like he didn't even train for this one, and was maybe gun shy with the right hand after killing one fighter in the ring, and possibly another. Regardless, JJB's amazing comeback run after hitting rock bottom in more ways than one, was legendary and super inspiring!
I seen some odd comment saying how the 30s-40s were in black in white and at a lower fps that's why they look way less advanced and if they were in color with higher fps they would be more advanced Is that possible it can fix obsolete flaws and add better tech/fluid/timing/defense can adding color and higher fps manipulate footage so they would look as advanced as guys in 70s-90s?
There is NO WAY Max should have lost this fight by decision. He had the better and more powerful punches. James was much weaker and NEVER had Max in trouble. The movie “Cinderella Man” was great but the reality was, Max got screwed.
No Max was just keeping aware of the no hitting below the waistline , ready to pull his shorts up past his chin, and Max had a good chin but he let J.J land to many.
I've seen this a few times before, it's a great fight and it's a great story. Russell Crowe did imitate his style really well, except for one thing, one big thing, head butts, and they were both doing it, more than anything you will see these days. It seemed to be an acceptable thing during those times.
In cinderella man, Baer was presented as a cold soulless prick, yet irl he fell to his knees crying when he learned one of his opponents had died from his fatal damage during the fight.
Sólo estoy aquí porque vi la película "El Luchador" ("Cinderella Man"); protagonizada por Russell Crowe. Un gran hombre debió ser James Braddock; la película es hermosa y es una Enseñanza de vida para cualquier espectador. Saludos a todos.
Braddock's lack of fear clearly intimidated Baer, hence the posing, clowning, and insufferably adjusting his trunks. All reasons he could point to in explaining a defeat.
Were the rounds 2 minutes, sped up, or carefully edited? wondering how a 15 round fight clocked in at about 30 minutes. I've seen it with other fights, too.

Anyone else coming here from comparing the the movie Cinderella Man?
Yepp
I thought the fight scenes in the movie looked pretty accurate for a Hollywood version of this fight.
me too.
I am right now..interesting that there was some exchange between Braddock's mgr and Baer during the instructions..albeit not as dramatic as in the movie
lamont111800 yeah me too, i also googled if Max baer killed 2 people in the ring and i found out that that's also true.

Dirk That's unless the fight goes to the judges. Then we just pray that the fighters and the fans don't get screwed.
Bro yesss
Dirk there are no videos of slapsy maxi reportedly the greatest boxer of all time
Yes, it's great to watch Dempsey-Firpo, etc.
Same with baseball. Earliest full games are from the 1952 world series.
Как я благодарен судьбе родиться в наше время и иметь возможность лицезреть великие бои старой школы
Prime example of when a cocky, underprepared champion doesn't take a more hungrier and well-prepared challenger seriously. Baer was completely outboxed & outclassed by the Cinderella Man. 👍🏼💪🏼
if you came from the movie thinking baer is bad. Please don't. I love braddock too, but please baer is an absolutley kind hero.
MrWicked61671 totally agree
Please stop spitting on Baer's grave. Cinderella Man was a movie. Fiction. Baer was a good man.
I’m not Jewish but I like how max had the star of David on his trunks during that time with what was going on in Germany an other parts of Europe
Baer was unprepared because he never recovered mentally from killing 2 guys in the ring. He started drinking heavily and didn't take train g seriously. Movie didn't get that part right
I’m not surprised Baer lost
...he spent the whole fight adjusting his shorts
Hahahahahaha... I thought the same thing. Maybe his underwear was creeping up his crack..lol
Ya that's true I have thought about how difficult it must have been with clothing, imagine dealing with wool if you found it itchy or wearing clothes for weeks at a time because you just could not afford to wash them.
Max Bear later became known as Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies.
ralph sampson Huh! that is really weird
@@mowler8042
Just messing but, it really was his son to be Jethro. Check it out. Max Baer, the actor, is still alive, I think.
Interesting stuff......so, I thought.
BTW: Max Baer Sr. was father to actor Max Baer Jr: Jethro on the Beverly Hill Billies: Cool
William Joseph Moran III Max Baer field ( small air port in Ft. Wayne Ind ) also named in his honor. quite the pilot as well as boxer.
Does that also make him Jethro Sr.?
NO WAY!!!!!!!!! I WON'T BALEEDAT!!!!!!!! FORILL DOH

I didnt' think there was real footage from this fight!! awesome up load!
peoples comments are ridiculous this was a great fight and it was braddocks 84th fight thats a lot of hits to the head great fight in my opinion love the nostalgia
Braddock was quick, methodical and tough as hell.
Braddock's jab was relentless. Awesome.
Which Tommy Loughran predicted. He said that once Braddock learn how to master a jab, he will become a world champion.
"I'm fighting for milk.."😥😥
Makes me feel wierd thinking that every man in and out of the arena are in the cemetery.
I would be really weird if they were still alive. Anyway, you'll join them in the cemetery sooner than you think . That's life.
Entionden K Sooner than I think? I'm fucking 16,shut your goddamn mouth!

William Joseph Moran III thats angelo dundee he train Ali lol crazy
William Joseph Moran III You just won the comments section, sir. :)
Braddock's jab set up everything. And his timing was perfect. Baer didn't seem comfortable the entire fight. Great to see these videos.
I love this ! A true Cinderella Story !
Jack Johnson is still my personal favorite fighter of all time.
A woman beater and a pimp Jack Johnson ????
While Braddock was a great family man.
Sugar ray is the absolute GOAT Tyson in 2nd, holyfield 3rd, ali 4th, Chavez 5th...
Johnson was before steroids but looked jacked compared to everyone else’s he fought.
Accept that they unnecessary demonized a good man just for the sake making a movie. Max Bear was a really good human being. He lost because he was in depression because he had killed two men in ring prior to it and became a drunk after that filled with dispair paid bills of those families who got killed at his hands. He is a good human being. Its just that people died because of his game and he was that good
@@ellenandwillhernandez4298 Holyfield should be ahead of Tyson beat him in both fights.
"Up-dated" running commentary is appreciated, but I'd rather hear the original broadcast
Adam Walch only on radio back then commentary came first with Ali era.
My stupid ass thinking 'Commentary hasn't changed much since then'.
I don't think commentating was around back then. Even if it was, only on car radios.
This is awesome thank you for posting this. Really amazing how little the referee has to do very little.
Baer's facial expressions are priceless!
Look at "Jethro Bodine's" dad go!! Although boxing is dramatic in itself, it's just amazing how Hollywood can intensify the drama. This is great history!
Aside from his fighting ability, Braddock was a man of integrity. When he could, he paid back the welfare money given him and his family.
wow!! gotta love that

He helped build the Verrazzano Bridge as well. In Hudson County Park finally -- there is a beautiful statue of North Bergen, NJ's James Braddock.

Fixed, I knew it by the ring announcers intros. I love watching these old matches. Ty.
huh?
Baer claimed he threw the fight
Так здорово,что сохранилось видео того времени 👍🏼🌸
Braddock's left never missed during the whole fight - jabs, straight lefts, left hooks all found the target. He looked like the champion.
...and introducing from this corner...!!! This announcer made hundreds from this introduction! Remember...hundreds were rare and great during these days! God bless them all, and thankyou for fighting your hearts out!A,

True but he had a good right hand. He just never trained enough or wanting to put the work in for a champion. Basically a Wilder of his time.

Kim Rapp plus he is circling to the right, away from the power.

Its nice to see that after the fight there wasnt drama, both fighters shook hands and hugged, respectable fight.

It looked like Max Baer was not trying to hurt him,,it looked like Max Baer was sparring,,not trying to win a fight !
The movie “Cinderella Man” unfairly portrayed Baer in a bad light. People around Baer said he was a good guy.
Thanks for this, I didn't know it even existed! Ron Howard's movie version (Cinderella Man) was surprising close, in that he got the ref's name right.
Fight wasn’t even close. Watching the movie I am on eggshell even though I knew James won. Here it was obvious
The depiction of Max Baer is wrong though. He was a good man and you can see them embracing at the end of the fight.

@@aguynamedryan395 Hey Ryan, sorry I was being sarcastic in my comment! I didn't think Ron Howard was close to getting it right.

Braddock was a beast
Max is no slouch either
HERO HERO HERO James Braddock HERO HERO HERO..
Incredible performance by Braddock, Max Baer was equally good according to my opinion. It was a great fight and I enjoyed it to the very end.
Final score 8 - 6; close call
Max just never took boxing too seriously. Except for the Carnera and Schmeling fights.
Yeah Max Baer was a great guy in real life, but he was also terrifying, he was big, muscular, had more power than anyones seen before and couldn't be knocked out.

Totally agree. Ron Howard should be ashamed for that...

These days the nod would have been given to Baer. No question. Much more honesty in the scoring in days of yore.
Excellent. Thank you.
i was watching the movie cinderella man starring russel crowe,,so i had to see the real thing
Max Baer was never the same after he was responsible for inflicting the second death of an opponent. Even Braddock, commented Baer was "too nice" to be heavyweight champion. It happens to most boxers if they cause a death of a opponent.
If Baer had used as much effort throwing punches as he did pulling up his shorts he would have walked the fight!
Great footage! I guy I used to work for always talked about Braddock affectionately ,he lived in north Bergen, nj and went through the depression like in the movie Cinderella Man. Braddock was one of the greatest boxers pound for pound of all time , guess I a little biased cause I m from the area ,take care, stay safe
This is amazing what I'm seeing on YT - all the photos in my Dad's boxing books coming to life in real motion : )
The movie Cinderella Man made Max Baer out to be some type of monster, but he was actually kind hearted. He was just a killer in the ring. Literally.
Great Fighters and amazing fight looked, what is power hits!
this audio has been added, this is not the way fights were called in the 1930's....
Thanks Einstein..
Sounds like Harry Carpenter
The men's voices back then sounded higher pitched then now. Like they were all tenors. Maybe it's the recording apparatus in use back then?
I like how you can hardly see their legs.
The commentary is MODERN.
Who are they trying to kid ?
Max seems to block punches with his face. Interesting technique.
I heard that Baer was the 2nd hardest hitter in the history of boxing - said around 1976, and that says a lot, but I didn't see it in this fight.
Why would you hate Max Baer? I do sincerely hope you're not basing this on his portrayal in Cinderella Man. In truth, Baer was a great guy.
Any friend of Lou Costello is ok in my book
Baer never really did throw his right bomb very much, so maybe the talk about a training injury has something to it. Although it may also be possible that an experienced quick fighter like Braddock may have found a way to duck it, and prevent it from connecting most of the time.
Why did the movie leave out the star of David on Baer's shorts?
igor stein well Baer was kind of the antagonist in the movie and a scumbag so it would have made Jews look bad
@@imamhussain9506 ... Your full of shit. You don't know what your talking about. Stunod.

lol it's not authentic.
Cause it was around the 90s that was filmed. They put the commentary after the fact.
Question is the footage, the film, the older technology being recorder now and showing up at a slightly slower real time pace?
I seen some odd comment saying how the 30s-40s were in black in white and at a lower fps that's why they look way less advanced and if they were in color with higher fps they would be more advanced
Is that possible it can fix obsolete flaws and add better tech/fluid/timing/defense can adding color and higher fps manipulate footage so they would look as advanced as guys in 70s-90s?
THE JAB!! Braddock had a great one...Baer had none.
No jab and no head movement
A Buster Douglas like jab.
Baer waited until the 15th round to start fighting with any real desire and determination., That is not an approach that wins fights. Why wasn't he doing the same in the earlier rounds? Braddock earned the win.
I agree. Baer was embarrassed by his ineffectiveness on Braddock after clowning and dismissing Braddock's ability. Got desperate at the end.
Great fight!
I gotta wonder if Baer threw this fight. He is nowhere near as aggressive here as he was with Schmelling and Carnera. Maybe Baer knew that Braddock was the morale boost that society needed and maybe just showed up to fight. He did a lot of clowning around and tried to make it look good. He also seemed to underestimate Braddock just enough to where he thought he could knock him out later on, but it wasn't to be. Nothing against Braddock, but Baer just didn't look like he was in it.
Totally agree.....
Throw the championship and the money with it away? No fix would be worth that. Nonsense.
Baer would later claim he didn’t prepare for the fight , i guess he thought gentleman Braddock was a forgone conclusion
@@HankFinkle11 lunatic
What happened to all the low blows Baer threw, like in the movie? Never happened? Edited out here? Who knows? Also in the movie, Braddock threw 1 head butt which was quite noticeable. In the actual fight there were dozens of butt's by Braddock.
Movie Magic!
@@miraclarke1 they probably thought that the real fight was too slow paced, so they took some "artistic liberties"
In the movie they made Baer out to be the villain of the movie but he never was like that in real life
Just started... 2019... This is gonna be awesome.
Video on my page foreman louis compared
Which era used more angles/fluidity/defense/timing/tech?
The movie was portraying Bear as an asshole while he was really a nice and funny guy and Braddock appeared to be king of the head butt in real boxing life .
True on that
When you see a movie based on real facts most of the times you can't check how close was it to the actual facts.
Getting to watch the fight at the end of the movie and then seeing the actual game that took place all those decades ago it's really interesting.
Max would go on to have a son who became a double knot spy who could cypher real good.
And gradgiated 6th grade
Gary, He almost became a "brain surgeon"
walter sobchak He was best as a fry cook.

Tec61, Yes, I remember the shameless product placement with the large box of Kelloggs corn flakes andJethro's monster size cereal bowl.
No surprise that the REAL fight was completely different than the Cinderella Man "hyped up" version. JJB was definitely not to be denied that night, but Baer looked like he didn't even train for this one, and was maybe gun shy with the right hand after killing one fighter in the ring, and possibly another. Regardless, JJB's amazing comeback run after hitting rock bottom in more ways than one, was legendary and super inspiring!

Two great boxers!
I can’t believe these guys used to fight 80 15 round fights, sometimes before they became champ. That’s just brutal
Can't see good
There is NO WAY Max should have lost this fight by decision. He had the better and more powerful punches. James was much weaker and NEVER had Max in trouble. The movie “Cinderella Man” was great but the reality was, Max got screwed.
Braddock really used his head as a weapon. Geez
If they had bought Baer some suspenders, he might have won that fight. How annoying!
No Max was just keeping aware of the no hitting below the waistline , ready to pull his shorts up past his chin, and Max had a good chin but he let J.J land to many.
Good one!
Baer always seems to adjust his shorts. I've saw the fight with him and Carnera and he was adjusting his shorts up there.
The star of david is definitely on his shorts in the movie.
The actor who played Baer in CM sure had his technique and mannerisms down.
The working man becomes Champion... Love it!!
Even though I know who wins, I still get excited by the fight
I've seen this a few times before, it's a great fight and it's a great story. Russell Crowe did imitate his style really well, except for one thing, one big thing, head butts, and they were both doing it, more than anything you will see these days. It seemed to be an acceptable thing during those times.
Braddock was really nailing him in the 12th.I knew he had the fight then.
In cinderella man, Baer was presented as a cold soulless prick, yet irl he fell to his knees crying when he learned one of his opponents had died from his fatal damage during the fight.
Sólo estoy aquí porque vi la película "El Luchador" ("Cinderella Man"); protagonizada por Russell Crowe. Un gran hombre debió ser James Braddock; la película es hermosa y es una Enseñanza de vida para cualquier espectador. Saludos a todos.
Braddock's lack of fear clearly intimidated Baer, hence the posing, clowning, and insufferably adjusting his trunks. All reasons he could point to in explaining a defeat.
What's with the star of David? I am just curious.. Is that digitize ?
Were the rounds 2 minutes, sped up, or carefully edited? wondering how a 15 round fight clocked in at about 30 minutes. I've seen it with other fights, too.
Carefully edited
