** NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED **
June 13th, 1935. “The Cinderella Man” James J. Braddock takes on “The Livermore Larupper” Max Baer for the World Heavyweight Championship, as Baer makes his first title defense since he won the championship from Primo Carnera in astounding fashion, scoring 11 knockdowns throughout the 11 round fight in 1934. At that time, Carnera was the biggest man to have ever held a world heavyweight title.
Braddock was a 10-1 underdog going into the fight. Prior to this bout, Braddock has had tremendous hardships in his life in and out of the ring. Braddock turned professional at 21 years of age as a Light Heavyweight, and had a good run for the first three years, with victories over Jimmy Slattery, Pete Latzo, Joe Sekyra, and notably a huge knockout victory over Tuffy Griffiths.
However, Braddock suffered a setback against NYSAC World Light Heavyweight champion “The Phantom of Philly” Tommy Loughran (regarded as one of the Top 10 Greatest Light Heavyweights) when he lost a close points decision. Braddock sunk into depression and his right hand was broken into several pieces during the fight. Braddock’s life in and out of the ring suffers after that, as Braddock piled up huge amount of losses from 1929 to 1933, compiling a record of 11-20-2 with 2 fight ended as no contests.
To make matters worst for Braddock, he and his young family suffered from poverty during the Great Depression. Ironically, the Great Depression began in the same year that Braddock suffered the loss that marred his career; 1929. Braddock became a dock worker in order to support his family and had to use his left hand for his job most of the time, as his right hand suffered many injuries during his career. However, the need to use more of his left hand helped to build up strength and power on his left would benefit him in his later career. Braddock also had to accept government relief funds due to the hardships of having to support his family in such difficult times.
In 1934, Braddock took a fight with only two days’ notice against John Corn Griffin, a young heavyweight slugger who was a huge prospect at that time. Braddock was meant to be nothing more than a tune up bout for the rising star Griffin. Braddock entered the bout as a 5-1 underdog. To the shock of the boxing world, Braddock sensationally knocks out Griffin in the 3rd round. The win once again propelled Braddock for a chance of a world title fight as Braddock was said to be washed up and past his best, and was not expected to even give Griffin a tough fight much less winning.
This fight was part of the undercard of Max Baer vs Primo Carnera, where Baer pummeled Carnera for 11 rounds to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Five months later, Braddock was scheduled to fight Light Heavyweight John Henry Lewis, who had once beaten Braddock in a clear points decision victory. Lewis was fighting in New York for the first time and was expected to once again exhibit his boxing skills against an “old” fighter. But once again, Braddock proved his critics wrong, by outboxing and knocking down the younger, slicker fighter and winning a 10 round decision.
In March 1935, hard hitting contender Art Lasky was to face Max Baer for the world title but he needed to beat a name opponent and once again Braddock was chosen and expected to be Lasky’s opportunity to get a world title shot. But Braddock once again turned the tables, outboxing he bigger Lasky to earn a 15 round decision. Braddock-Baer was set. Braddock would win a close but clear decision as he outworked Baer through 15 rounds.
Braddock’s victory over Baer remain one of the most memorable and glorious in the history of world championship fights in the sport of boxing. And Braddock’s story of rising from obscurity to world heavyweight champion earned him the nickname “The Cinderella Man” by sports writer Damon Runyon; an alias that aptly defined his boxing career as well as his life outside the ring.
In 1937, Braddock faced a young Joe Louis as his first title defense. Braddock knocked Louis down early in the fight but was knocked out in the 8th round with a devastating right hook that left him unconscious for minutes. Joe Louis considered Braddock to be the most courageous fighter he’s ever faced. Braddock would retire from boxing after beating Tommy Farr in 1938 via a close split decision.
The amazing life story of James J. Braddock was portrayed by Russell Crowe in the film CInderalla Man (2005), directed by Ron Howard. Check it out! It is one of my favorite boxing films ever.

Hey guys, I am happy to announce that my channel has been re-monetized and my videos will gradually be available once again.
In time I will be able to upload consistently and take in request as I used to do.
Thanks guys and keep punching!
Good to know, Jeff!
SORRY MEANT MAX BAER.
What the heck did you do to get demonitized not a political channel 🙄
In your face, UA-cam!!..
Yaaayy
His 84th professional fight!!!!! That is insane. Fighting 15 rounds as well. These guys were hard as nails
09/25/1933 was the date of the fight he broke his hand (as in the movie) ... he had fought 6 fights already that year. :/
Real fighters that went the distance
They were even harder back in Jack Johnson and James Jeffries era, they would fight up to 30 rounds.
Braddock had Joe Louis down in the first round of their encounter many people don't know
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C Just STFU
Fighters of old boxing were far tougher than today's steroid built fighters. Those men from the pre 1970s would have been far more physically stronger than today's fighters.
Watching this made me realize what a phenomenal acting performance by Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man. It was uncanny how he captured Braddock's boxing style and mannerisms. I'm awestruck!
I can’t agree more with this comment, I’ve watched that movie 7 times and is still my favorite movie of all time due to the acting of it. It is quite phenomenal
Yes Russell is the best.
Never saw it. Now I gotta find it lol
Gladiator should have showed you his acting abilities.
I was ready to write just that....the ring manerisms we're spot on
I only know of this because I'm watching Cinderella man in us history.
Same
Deshawn Taylor Saw it to its good
Just finished it in history today. Great movie!
Acid Rap , I enjoyed the film CINDERELLA MAN too. Just remember, that is was "based on a True Story". The way Max Baer was portrayed was inaccurate and in my opinion a disgrace. Max Baer and his trainers viewed Braddock as an 'easy payday'. Baer barely trained, while Braddock trained like a 'man on a mission'. Having watched the film, you know the rest...Max Baer payer the ultimate price. I believe had he trained properly Baer would have won with ease.
jasona9 ,
The problem was that Baer never took training seriously.
Max Baer was devastated when he killed a man in the boxing ring. In the movie they showed Baer bragging about killing that man. Baer would never brag about it and he retired for a bit and donated several of his purses to the victims family.
Nashville Dude he put one other guy in the hospital and he would visit him frequently. Guy did die a few months later though
He was a really nice guy he didn't like hurting people before boxing he beat up a bully defending himself
It’s for money
According to Max Jr, his dad didn't like boxing and wanted to be an actor. The Cinderella Man movie was an awful, fabricated hit job. Shame on Ron Howard.
The movie was a lie, lil Ritchie Cunningham owes Baers family an apology. Ritchie being a pissant Holleyweird leftist pos doesn't have it in him.
In the movie they make Max Baer look like such a cruel jerk. But turns out the real Max Baer is a nice guy.
He was a showman too, so I don't necessarily see it as being anything other than showing the entertainer side of him that worked it as a "clown." He was probably just toying with Braddock to get in his head, hence the perspective of Baer in the film.
In the ring Baer could be a douche. ESPN released a higher definition video of Baer vs Galento, in the ring both kept talking so much shit to each other. Baer occasionally mocked Galento and spoke trash to the ringside viewers while fighting.
Robinson Ray But that's only in the ring. The movie Cinderella Man mad Baer out to be this terrible cocky person, but in reality he a genuine guy.
Jim Halpert You're right.
When fighters are in the ring tensions are high and Baer was no exception, he knew how to get into his foes head with trash talk during the fight. Baer was a showman but out of the ring his showmanship was more clowning around. The movie did a bad job at showing how Baer was out of the ring, but it's a movie so of course it's full of it, problem is they based it off a real individual.
MagicCharlie Hi there, its called Hollywood where there is little integrity in telling the truth to make a good movie of historical events.
Thanks for posting this. Thank God for U Tube.These classics aren't lost and are there for generations to enjoy.
Fuck youtube
as the 200th like i agree
I just love the gesture when he returned the money he got from the relief, pure man.
Axe Music In those days the poor and needy were taught to be ashamed when claiming their rights. But that money went to feeding and clothing his family and paying the rent. There was no cause or even established method for returning those modest disbursements. The story that Braddock did so sounds to me like the sort of thing a newspaper cooked up because it reflected management's real attitude to social welfare provisions.
Today mother fuckers would choose to clock in 20 hours and go unemployment than work 40 hours a week. Also people bching about how hard today's life is.
@@jinoy5002 today's life is hard definitely not comparable to the 90s but that doesn't mean it's a all sunshine
@@vestibulate Braddock was cut from the cloth where he didn't feel entitled or that he was owed something; or that he had a right to collect money from someone else. If he wanted or needed it, he had to work for it. That's why he went to the docks to work every day instead of immediately showing up at the welfare office.
@@ujohnlynch2341 Braddock signed to fight Joe Louis only after obtaining a guarantee that he would receive 10% of Louis' future title fight earnings for ten years. I guess he felt he was owed something after all. Talk about the welfare office- Braddock had his own branch.
Wow I must say Crow did a great job mimicking Braddock ' s fighting style...
412xtaint looks like him too.
Yeah at first I though they just but the movie in black and white! J.K. but from the back they looked the same
Great movie
@@seriliz00 I thought the same as you, uncanny!!
Both actors really got the posture, movement and showmanship as far as Baer goes really down.
It's amazing how many fights these boxers had back in the day, 100s compared to like 50 nowadays. Cinderella Man is one of my favorite movies, great story and very inspirational.
Absolutely - Sugar Ray Robinson, between Jan. 31, 1941 and March 3, 1941 - had 5 fights!
50?! More like 25 with the modern heavyweights of today.
@@johnburke4931 That's true, 50 is generous for most boxer these days.
These guys were made of iron. Dempsey would fight literally anyone after not eating for days. Now its more of a business than anything
50 more like 30 nowadays
Being an avid boxing fan what amazes me is how flat footed they were and how they just stood there beating a cramp out of each other. Basically a street fight with gloves. True iron men!
Boxing is much better now, obviously. More interesting, less devastating on the boxers.
fr😹they’re jus beating each other tf up, no protection
@@TheSpiritOfTheTimes I don't think so, classic matches are epic, Marciano, Joe Luis, Liston, and of course Ali, do you think Fury, Joshua, and the others are more fun to watch or better in any way?
@@TheSpiritOfTheTimes Safer? Sure. More interesting? Absolutely not.
You did not back up in those days or you lost the round. Fighters like Floyd would not of won a fight, they were thought of as cowards if you ran around and hit. Its a damned fight, not a running match, lol, that's how they thought. Sugar Ray Leonard would also have lost ever match. You had to meet in the middle and fight.
Baer seemed hesitant; I think the fact he'd killed someone in the ring made him hold back. He actually felt guilty; he wasn't the asshole the movie made him out to be.
He was also really tired after a few rounds, but he definitely held back.
Imagine if they took a different approach and actually built up his character as sympathetic and similar to Braddock in that he wants to provide for his family, only that Baer doesn't like the sport (as he was in real life). That should have been the direction to go with the character.
How do you actually know that tho???
Campbell knocked Baer down and thought they were giving him a count and Baer got up and hit Campbell unawares,when his head was turned
@@tjjordan4207 I agree it would of been a lot better but Hollywood always goes for the cheap, Hero vs villain story. Easier to manipulate the viewers that way.
I know Baer is far from being an all-time great, but he sure was an entertaining fighter. So brutal. You wonder how him and Braddock would do today against these giant heavyweights
Also, such BS how they depicted him in Cinderella Man. Baer was class. Watch how he literally runs over to Braddock to congratulate him after the fight. He was a good guy
He was pretty good
It would not be such a great movie without such a strong villain and stakes of this dude is trying to kill him. It's like this in almost every boxing movie, it's part of the genre
They would not do well at all against modern fighters. Too small and too slow and they lacked skills.
@@BradTaylor-k2eBaer was as big as Wilde and bigger than Usyk
My great grandfather William Young was a boxer and sparring partner and friend to Braddock , and he went on to box while in the army

Congratulations
Awesome man. Is there a boxing team in the army.
He went to serve in the pacific in world war 2 after this. Came back home and lived until he was 70. Remarkable man.
Actually, "Cinderella" died aged 69.
Who's watching this after you heard his history, what an incredible man🥊
I *finally* watched #CinderellaMan (20 minutes ago) and that's why I'm here ... *Amazing Story* and Film!
Damn,Russell crow REALLY nailed down Braddock's style in the movie
You can tell by the way their blows impact against each other that these guys were tough as hell. Beautiful style, clean shots. Love this footage. Tank you very much for posting.
Watching "Jethro" all those years ago, I never realized his dad was a world famous boxer, until later on. Hard to believe he's the only one left of the cast, we never missed an episode!
Hard to believe he was the son of a champion when Ellie Mae could kick his ass.
finished watching the movie in my us history class, decided to watch the real deal. This video made me realize how nicely the actors captured the boxing style of the real Braddock and Baer
One of my favorite movies is Cinderella Man. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, of the real fight on UA-cam!! Awesome fight!
One of the best fights ever...Those were Real fighters.
+Steve B You should learn how to spell.
+Skyladikooo Real at what? Looks like 2 bar room brawlers who had one too many in terms of technical punching, defense.
+Will Marini They didn't need to run, they both could take solid hits.
Nicole Smrekar Boxings not about taking shots but avoiding them...the sweet science isn't about being a punching bag but hit and not be hit.
*****
That's not how boxing started, Max and James both willingly took punches. And even guys like Locche whom I love didn't do a ton of back pedaling, he learned to avoid punches even inside on a fighter. Not like today.
amazing man, after all that ,he served in ww2
Wow. The movie was masterfully cast. Both actors nailed the mannerisms of each fighter.
Max Baer was truly frightening in the ring. He just knew he was going to destroy anyone in front of him. And he mostly did. If he had taken it all more seriously no man would have stood a chance. Gotta hand it to Braddock heart of a lion, chin of granite. An amazing display of power and courage.
Two Great Men with Heart
This is Boxin Mates,,,,,
Real down in the Alley Boxin,,,,,
Blood and sawdust on the floor,,,,,
I admire a lot of the golden age boxers, like Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Lewis, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Marciano and all of that, but for the exception of Robinson and maybe Lewis, all of them would be mediocre fighters in today's boxing. Though I think that boxing's greatest era was from the mid 70's to the late 80's where you had great fighters like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Azumah Nelson, Mike McCallum, Evander Hollyfield, Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Marvin Haggler, Tommy Hearns, Alexis Arguello, Julio Cesar Chavez, Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes... the list goes on and on... Not so much because of the fighters themselves, but because promoters and the "business" of boxing didn't interfere as much with the "sport" of boxing as it did starting in the 90's... in the 80's it would have not taken 10 years to see a Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao fight happen...
I didn't see him compare anything. But he is right about what he is actually saying. The old timers had much more to struggle with, especially during the depression. They had a regular and often heavy and tiring job on the side and much less time to train. And less food as compared to the later well-to-do boxers who could eat steaks at a regular interval. The differences became even more accute when more and more boxers didn't have to work. But instead could focus all their time into being a professional boxer. And from there you have anabola and the works.
Give the old timers the same training Structure that the the guys that you mentioned had (the ones from the 70's and the 80's) and you will see...Can't imagine guys like Marciano and Bradock losing to anyone in the same condictions.
Sim Rapaz thats true ,,who knows what could have been ,,glad u like american boxing Um Abrazo DD
Fighters with real heart and guts are my favourite. Are you from USA? Thank you for the kind comment, abraço!
Its amazing to see that age 29 used to be labeled old
In the 1930s average life expectancy for men was 58 and 62 for Women and the retirement age was 65. Social Security was enacted in 1935. The Democrat FDR was President. Think about that for a second, I'll wait.
@@kdnofyudbn5918 The retirement age wasn't 65 I know my grandparents could retire at 58, great grandparents even sooner. You could buy a house with 5 year wages, that would be it, fully paid off. Those were good times and if you think we're better of now you're a moron. Think about that for a second, I'll wait.
@@joerivandeweyer3056 The legal retirement age has never been 58 in the United States idiot. Look it up and stop making stuff up . I don't recall saying that we're better of now so you apparently are the moron. Apparently you should read and think before you respond. But I guess I touched a political nerve in you.
@@kdnofyudbn5918 I never said it was in the USA. I mean, Imagine living in the USA. Couldn't do it if my life depended on it. Anyway, Yankee, an average European could have deducted my origin based on my name alone..
@@joerivandeweyer3056 The video were both watching occurred in the United States with two American boxers, and Viperx stated they were amazed that at that time in the USA 29 was old. I think you're just trying to pull your foot out of your mouth right now. By the way in the United States there are Americans of all nationalities especially European so a name alone would not be enough to distinguish your nationality, other than to say that if you were American that your most likely of European decent.
Max was such a fantastic character. One of the great personalities in boxing history.
It's crazy that at 29 he was being called an "old man". Just imagine what they would've thought back then about George Foreman winning the title.
after watching this footage, the choreography in "Cinderella Man" is even more amazing!
racing across the ring after getting the win to show respect to Baer. Gotta love it
Exactly what impressed me the most ! The class he showed us with this beeing his first concern ! We dont make men like this anymore.
The movie, Cinderella Man, doesn't describe the relationship between Max and James as this does
it would be boring
Dillon Rylant still an awesome movie
Reality is always boring compared to fiction. If they wanted to make it historical they should have kept events accurate and not do injustice to any of the participants, even if they are dead. Otherwise there is no need for a Rocky remake, especially when the original was so good.
Yeah. It'd be boring, so let's just make a film that's a complete and utter character assassination of one of boxings most passionate gentlemen Max Baer. Absolutely disgusting what they did to Max in that film. I hate the movie with a burning passion. Vile, vile film.
@@ReservoirPunk he was a cardboard cutout for the film. Classic film about overcoming adversity. He did lose the fight and it wasn't meant to be a documentary. Overreach calling it a vile film.
Max Baer Jr (Jethro) should use some of his money to make a movie to set the record straight about his dad.
That would be a great movie idea..to say Max Baer was colorful is an understatement. He was an interesting guy with a great sense of humor and genuine good nature..juxtaposed with his ferocity in the ring could be a great script.
I agree..someone should make a movie that accurately depicts him and counters the villain depicted in "Cinderella Man"..which nonetheless was a very good movie overall in my opinion
I suspect he would need a little help with the financing.
He would need someone to put up the money for the film. Two reasons why he isn't a rich man. 1) In the old days, they weren't paid that much. Fess Parker made about $600 per week to star in the "Danial Boone" series. Most of the older actors that are still around don't like to talk about how much money they made, because compared to todays standards, it was very little. 2) After the "Beverly Hillbillies" ended, he had a very hard time getting any parts because he was typecast as "Jethro". He was pretty broke for a long time and couldn't figure out why Buddy Ebson was like a father to him while they were filming Beverly Hillbillies, but wouldn't help him get a part on "Barnaby Jones". His acting career was pretty much over after the Beverly Hillbillies ended.
@@carlschnackel3051 But he worked as a film producer. He was behind Macon County Line that was made for $110,000 but made $25 million at the box office. Ode To BillIe Joe made $27 million. He also got involved in the gambling industry. Today his net worth is around $50 million.
Saw this in US history last year. I thank the teacher for showing me this wonderful movie
They couldn't have gotten a scarier looking guy to play Max Baer in the movie. The guy's a monster. Scared me.
But a gentleman outside the ring.
It's disgusting how that movie portrayed him. Absolutely disgusting.
LEFT HOOK LARRY they had to make it entertaining
There's only 2 inches in height difference between the 2 actors. Cinematography.
@@hotjewishman
They could still have made it entertaining without making him look like he enjoyed killing people.
Maybe. But the angle they played was much better. And regardless im surr bradock and his community feared for his life
This is how boxing videos should be done! No endless hugging up, just action!
If anyone is interested two years earlier in June of 1933. Max Baer fought Max Schmeling and almost sent him back to Germany in a pine box. But Schmeling would have the last laugh living unti2005 before dying at he age of 99 Two weeks later Promo Carnera knocked out Jack Sharkey to win the title. Baer went to Hollywood and made his first film The Prizefighter and the Lady. Baer started as Steve Morgan. Mirna Loy and Walter Huston costarred. The producer managed to get then champion Primo Carnera to appear as himself. So the final bout between Carnera and Steve Morgan is in hindsight hilarious considering how Baer 6-2 208 dominated Carnera 6-7 268 when they fought for real ten months later in June of 1934. If you want to know what Max Baer was really like watch The Prizefighter and the Lady. Max was a amiable friendly luvable goofball who loved long legged chorus girls and longer legged cocktail waitresses. Max Jr gets the last word. “My dad had them all”
Вот это бокс!не клинчей ,не шоу ,не хитростей. Просто старый добрый бокс.
From what I saw Braddock had a nice quick snapping jab here which he worked very efficiently... Baer's right hand was devastating.... Got to give Braddock credit he went toe to toe with Baer... Braddock had a solid chin also he could take a punch... if you can survive Baer's right hand you have an iron jaw...
The Cinderella Man ! James Braddock was a good humanitarian.
In the movie “Cinderella Man” the director Ron Howard presented Max Baer as a horrible villain. A completely false portrayal and a terrible thing to do to a good man’s legacy. I wonder how he’d like it if someone did that to Rance Howard?
Hollywood makes movies to sell not to see truth. Must be Joe Biden’s nephew.🤪
Howard is a globalist tool
Baer was misrepresented in the movie; Cinderella Man. He wasn’t a bad guy and was forever saddened when he killed his opponent in the ring. Ron Howard wanted to change the narrative so much, as well as show his potential anti-Semitism, by filming Max Baer in the ring by removing the Jewish star on Baer’s trunks. Baer was proud of his Jewish heritage which Ron Howard obviously didn’t care enough to include in the movie.
Good point.
Who gives a f*** about how they vote and that gay-dar pseudo, intellectual brainwashed nitwit stuff. The purpose is to sell obviously. The same happened with Bruce Lee. Its a valid point, but realistically a battle for those affected.
Thanks for posting this!
increible! old school !
one of my favorites also thankyou for the footage i was wondering if anyone had it or ever thought anymore about him after seeing the movie he was obviously a man with unwaveing determination a great inspiration for every man who gets down he never gave up it was horribly sad when he had to send his boy to live with family i rate this post a 10000
My father saw this fight and would always talk about it and the Cinderella Man. He was about 18 at that time and a big boxing fan. He also said Max was never the bragger about the death he caused in the ring and said that Max was never the same fighter after the tragic death. Max became a clown at times and never really fought with the same instinct.
How could I have not seen this until now?! I was screaming and clapping.😮😂
Age 29 in his 84th professional fight....🤯 Dang! 7 fights a year average ...
15 few rounds at that in heavy weight.
Thank you for this I love Cinderella man one of my favorite movies!!
what a story! Russell Crowe did him justice for sure!
I watch this and remember my dad was stationed in Germany at 19 years old and said he remembered seeing max Baer over there and watching him spar at times and turned down the opportunity to spar with him as he knew better lol wow this really takes me back
This is what you call a boxing lesson!
Thank you so much for sharing. Loved the movie and the real person. God bless everyone
I fell so in love with Jim and Mae Braddock!
After watching the movie I think both actors did a good job of the fighting styles. Thanks for the post I enjoyed watching this.
can you imagine being in a fight with a guy that could kill you with one punch,all in the game
I reckon you may be referring to the Livermore laraper,never fought as he used to after ernie shaff,say some old timers ,some say he became a clown in the ring ,sure he was beat mostly by the best,and a superb boxer,and can hit , affine physical specimen ,and I think or like to he,gave up tryin to damage opponent s,opting for just what a good time can be had in the ring,and outta,and,i think maybe a bit ,money can be made,no doubt folk ll pay to see that sort,o,fighter,any way, I keepwatch in the old fight s,
Well he did kill frank Campbell
I just finished the book Cinderella man and max sr. did kill a man in the ring and another who died later from injuries, this stuck with him til he hated the game and gave it up
Punch Out
@@joaoii1082 I don't think he meant to look him DUU
Pugili enormi , grazie per questo contributo educativo alla medesima piattafoma .
Baer was a bit of a dirty fighter and a master sh** talk in the ring (lol) but he was no monster. He had the jewish star on his trunks in support of relatives suffering under the Nazis. They left that out of the film because they wanted a cardboard cutout villain.
+tacomadc they did make him look bad BUT he did have the star on his trunks in the movie
+tacomadc Which is true I knew the great grandson of Baer and they I can confirm the were not pleased with his portrayal in the film
+tacomadc ...he really wasn't that 'dirty' of a fighter...he early on had a habit of after throwing a punch bringing the arm (and glove) back in the opposite direction, like a backhanded swing ...'dirty' to me is like Tyson biting Hollyfield.
to me watching this again...I felt that Braddock didn't 'take' the title; it should've been a draw in my eyes.
+Sam Moss These are just highlights of the rounds imo he definitely took the fight Baer had lots of good punches but he was simply out boxed in a majority of the rounds.
one of Baers' big drawbacks was he didn't train seriously or take training very serious, I remember adults talking about that when I was a kid saying 'if he trained hard and took it serious he'd be one of the best'...he (Baer) would show clips of his training (I'm sure as a joke) of him sipping a drink in a hammock with girls standing around fanning him...remember that being talked about in those days sitting around watching the B&W tv hosted by Burma Shave...think it was the "Thursday Night Fights' or 'Friday Night Fights' shown every week....in the 50's.
Gives me the goose bumps everytime. Good fight
Very interesting how in Cinderella Man they didn't portray Max with the star of David on his shorts like in the real match, especially considering how movies the last 20 years have been extremely meticulous regarding props like that being exactly like it was in the real history. I guess it was done for some politically correct reason, in other words a BS reason!
Probably since they dercided to demonize Baer, they didn't want to identify him as Jewish for fear of being called antisemitic. Not an unreasonable decision, given the horrible decision to portray Baer as some kind of monster, which he wasn't.
@@frankdberger Actually it's there in the movie too, but not as pronounced. You can see right at the first round bell.
Don't try for social commentary - it aint you.
Hmm,ill have to look at again,he did have some symbol on his trunks in the braddock fight,ill take a closer look.
I watched the movie the year it was released and clearly remember the david star on his shorts.
Never saw this footage before. Though I’m a big fan of the story and movie. Thanks for posting. 🇺🇸

good point andy, boxing is art.

I was searching for the real game soon after I watched the movie, Thanks Uploader and the Movie is Awesome !!!
great fight back when boxing was real
It was real and just as fixed. Just about everyone of Carnera's fights were fixed. Carnera did not know it often, but the fighters opposing him always hungry for money were paid to take dives. Jack Sharkey admitted he was paid to dive for Schmeling and Carnera. I think some of Ali's fights were fixed too. Just too much money hung out there for a broke fighter to ignore.
Brian Cartoscelli íiíikkoo
Eric Charters lennox lewis fights were fixed too. None of Ali’s fights were fixed. Liston took a dive to piss off the mafia
hahahaha youre kidding, right?
Boxing has only gotten more tactical, id say its more real now then back then just now boxing has show boating a lot or arrogant fighters
One of the best fights ever. Beautiful fight. And then how they treated each other after.... :) Good men. They were both, undeniably, brilliant fighters. Jimmy just had that heart, that Spirit ;), and it cannot be broken.
What a way to make a living. One hour in a ring with 45 minutes of battle to do.
i was there! man this was a great fight. huge upset! it gave us a lot of lift during tough times
What?!?! How old are you?
@@80scaveman23 106. I arrived May 15, 1915. This fight was epic.
@@j.jmcquade5278 106 WOW!!! Congratulations. I'm exactly half your age. I envy you. (I think....)
Baer's gestures are just like portrayed in the movie.
The casting and choreography were amazingly similar to Cinderella man. Spot on!
Great fight, great upset, James Braddock deserves praise; however If Max Baer had trained properly he would have won with ease. This fight is a classic example of a champion underestimating his challenger and paying the ultimate price!
jasona9 Like Tyson v Douglass!
Yeah, James came prepared, and gave it his all, Max took it as a game and like you said, ended paying the price.
Still, good fight.
jasona9 Braddock was 30 years old, Baer 26... Baer was much stronger, I think Baer was caught by surprise, he didn't expect Braddock to stand up to his level, subestimate his rival had the final word.
+TheBimmerfan It's Max Baer, not Bayer. Bayer makes asprin. :)
deadhead dion Corrected.
Great man James Braddock,i love movie Cinderella man
Crowe might have been the perfect person to play James this is insane
I love the Braddock story!!!
🥊🥊🥊🥊
Prime vs prime Baer would always win, and he did fight with a fractured right hand that negated alot of that legendary power. That being said Braddock was a great fighter, not a natural but worked very hard and had tons of heart with tons of skill, most people counted him out cause Baer looked unstoppable after beating a smart fast boxer like schmeling, rag dolling the giant champion carnera, and pulverizing an all around fighter like king levinksy, braddock wasn't phenomenal when he started boxing but became great late, he was just a late bloomer was all.
BEST COVERAGE OF SEEN OF THIS FIGHT THANK YOU
A little trivia: Joe Louis and his co-managers were at ringside watching, and Louis turned to one of them and said, "Nobody's gonna tell me that these two are the best in the world." Of course, he as proven right...though Braddock, in losing the title to Louis, gave him a tougher fight---for a while---than did Baer. Braddock, as he demonstrated in the first round of that fight, knocked Louis down. In fact, during training for the Braddock fight, Joe's trainer Jack Blackburn, told him, "Chappie, this is one cat you're not gonna scare. You're gonna have to knock him out." Again, accurate. If Braddock wasn't frightened of Louis...he certainly was not intimidated by Baer. That "upset" was much less of one than normally is regarded.
nice little trivia !! thanks
The legendary New York Times sportswriter Red Smith wrote in Baer's obituary (collected in the book- To Absent Friends,) that Baer was given a shot to his right hand before the fight with Louis at Yankee stadium. The shot was to numb pain Baer had and was delivered through the wrappings in the mens room away from prying eyes. The shot missed the intended area and numbed Bears entire hand making it almost useless. In fact, he refused to walk out to the ring until Jack Dempsey threatened him. Without his main weapon, Baer had no chance. Louis far more skilled and technically sound, would have won anyway. But that wasn't the real baer in the ring with Louis.
Not quite. Braddock's manager put in the stipulation that Braddock would get 10% of Joe's title fight purses promoted by Jacobs for ten years. While joe was champion for almost twelve years-remember that for four and a half of the ten years, joe was not fighting because he was in the army. Also, two of his defenses were benefits for the army and navy relief funds. Braddock's manager did this in order to make it worthwhile to walk out on a contract he had with Schelling to fight at the garden.
Signed after the German stopped Louis. Schmelling would have most likely have beat Braddock and taken the title to Germany. I doubt Hitler had any interest in max fighting Louis again. So the deal was made. Braddock had a comfortable life for the most part but he went back to construction work after he retired. The real bad guy was the US government who screwed Louis over and over. Jacobs and Joes manager died with Louis owing them money not the other way around.
rpVerlaine interesting fact
rpVerlaine also great fact
Wow..its crazy that this footage is over 85 years old
Man!...Jimmy Braddock could just take so many hits and it didn't phase him at all....dude was a machine. I don't know what others are talking about, I watched this vid fully, Jimmy Braddock kept getting full on hay maker hits to the jaw from Baer, and didn't even phase him....
Theseus9
Hagler is another with an iron, maybe even more so. Was never knocked down with a punch. No sure he was ever even staggered in the ring, he was a technician with champion heart with that iron chin.
One of my favorite movies of all time
That was a great movie like to see old footage of Jersey Joe
Je viens de regarder l histoire de ce valeureux et sympathique boxeur sur la télévision française. Un vrai champion et un excellent homme. Merci
Máximo respeito pela história de vida dos dois
Ive never seen this footage but saw Cinderella man long time ago. I must say that Russell Crowe did a fantastic job in mimicking Braddock in the ring.
Watched this after watching Cinderella Man in US History
Same
Same
same
I finally watched the movie, awesome!!! 🥊
Max Baer taunts Braddock the entire fight and then is the first to embrace him as a show of ultimate respect- the man just wanted to test guys!
Cool. That was a treat to watch highlights from a really old fight in black and white.
Max killed a man in the ring in 1930 and his last words right before he slumped over after second heart attack was “ oh god here I go “
Wow I wanted to see the real fight back when the movie came out and never did so seeing this was a real treat EXCELLENT.
Braddock seems like he actually knows how to box. Baer just seems like a brawler.
I like the way he uses the arm to hold off and control the range but he doesn't move enough, so Braddock rolls off of it, gets inside and does damage with precise punches.
I have to say they nailed the two styles. Both actors did a great job in the movie. But wow , what a great American story. Just proves you never give up. James J. Braddock is a Legend in my mind. 👊🏼🇺🇸
James is hero forever!
The Diffrence between the Heavyweights from today and from there is huge. An amateur boxer of today would be world champion of 1935 easily.
Just saw *Cinderella Man* again. They didn't show Max wearing _Star of David on his trunks_ plus didn't see Max throw back hand at Braddock here or low blows.
I noticed at first there absoloutly was no star of david on his shorts. Bit later on it appears on his shorts
These were 2 great fighters and even better men!!!
To those who came here for the movie. The movie is crap, facts wise. When frankie Campbell died, max cried for days and it is believed until he died he had nightmares of it. He was also a kind man, only the media dubbed him as a monster and again this movie trying to mess with his legacy, its outrageous
Doesn't mean the movies crap just because they made Max out to be a villain
They had to do that . Movie wouldn’t be entering if the rivals were friends
@@ijuarez4829 Well in Rocky I both Rocky and Apollo weren't rivals or enemies yet it turned out amazing. Rocky was just a nobody getting his shot at the title while Apollo was just a champion looking for new meat. You can see in the pre-fight interviews that they didn't hate each other
Aww
shut up trap soul
Awesome movie!! And Max Baer is a friggin awesome/badass name for a Heavyweight Champion too!
loved the movie 👍👍
You like Hollywood crap.
Thumbs up for the history lesson in title page. Loved the movie and interesting to see the fight.
To everyone saying the boxers today are better then back then, you people have never taken a punch nor do you have any clue as to how powerful these guys actually were
I don't think it's so much that they punched harder back then. Look at the gloves. There was a lot less padding on them. If you look at the LaMotta vs Robinson fight it looks like they're wearing mittens.
Athletes today are better than athletes back then in every sport. Advances in training, equipment, technology, nutrition etc are responsible for the evolution of the modern athlete. It's not an untrue statement.
@@mdteletom1288 exactly! My farther and uncle boxed in the 30's....my uncle was a pro and fought a draw in a final elimination for a crack at the British title (not heavy-weight though). I handled their gloves. Really wasn't a lot to them padding-wise. That is probably because, unlike today, lightweight padding materials were not available. So if the gloves were too padded they added too much weight.
@@TheGodofSteel Only up to a point.. Boxing was a much more popular sport them...even small towns had gyms...and the number of pros was far higher and it was therefore much more competitive.
