Joe Louis was SO OUTSTANDING. He kicked this monster's ass. Just destroyed him. Watch Joe's accuracy. It's a thing of beauty. Some people think Joe Louis was the GREATEST heavyweight champion of all time. He held the title from 1937 to 1949. That in itself speaks of his utter greatness.
Abe had a hell of a chin, though. He kept getting up even if on wobbly legs, whereas Primo and Buddy Bear both went down like a sack of bricks when Louis landed clean.
@@H.K.5 that's big for our time, especially when you think he was actually 6ft 4. Unlike most modern boxers who have added an 1inch to 2inches onto their height. Like he is heavier and only an inch shorter than AJ. Aj is 6ft 5 tops in reality.
Joe Louis .. I've never seen anyone with such a brilliant display of the economy of motion. There was a fluidity to his punches and a precision thaI haven't seen. People who put him down know nothing about boxing
@@wanderer1955 three things Joe Louis is famous for a left hook, he ends this fight with a left hook. Every single time Ali was floored it was by a left hook. Joe Louis in this fight is constantly pressuring, Ali's major loses are both to pressure boxers, who are no where close to Louis's level. Third how has boxing moved on, go on, show something that todays fighters can do that would shock Louis... Heck even in areas like nutrition which we have got better at, but when you look at modern 6ft 4 260lb fighters of today they have pot belly's, Abe's here all muscle with a layer of fat for energy reserves in the fight.
Jeeezzus Chrrrrrist..... the most perfect boxer/puncher the world has ever seen. Fully automatic two fisted weapon just RIPPING dynamite into the flesh & souls of mere mortals 😮
He must have been a glutton for punishment. Hard to imagine this version of Louis losing to anyone. He looks superhuman. His hands had to have been wrapped really good to keep hitting a guy like Simon in the head repeatedly.
He was upset because the referee disallowed the fight from continuing obviously, and Abe wanted to keep on fighting because he thought that he was not that hurt and that he could still continue.
Yes this is true. At age 27 or 28, he decided to retire after this fight due to his acromegaly and pituitary tumor causing severe headaches. He was apparently successfully treated with radiation therapy for the tumor after retiring from boxing. He was my husbands 3rd cousin.
@Delight Schwartz no shutup gene Tunney was in his corner and he messed that up & still had Freddie. He just sucked we don't care if he's king dukes of hazard
Height means jack shit. Abe would never be a champion, even with that height...because he was not as skilled and he would never be skilled enough to clean out any division. Valuev is a giant and the tallest ever, but even with all the teaching done for him...he lost to the much smaller David Haye and also got wobbled.
how beautiful was that.... i love joe louis...nowadays people underrate him, he was truly greatness, and boxing was not as develooped as much as it is nowadays...with the philli shelll, and the variations of peek a boo and the videos and all that ...it was just louis ..a good trainer...racism...and now go and take care of business. ..and boy did he take care of business.
Fun fact: Abe Simon actually couldn't feel pain. His brain was wired in such a way that he LITERALLY couldn't feel the sensation of pain but he said that "The body will give out regardless of missing the sensation of pain"💯
@@louisthebeatgardner yea some guys just punch THAT HARD. Alot of Deontay Wilder's opponents also said they didnt feel any pain from Deontay's straight right they just felt their body shut down
Abe was my husbands 3rd cousin. He had acromegaly which gave him his massive size and proportions, the pituitary tumor was apparently successfully treated with radiation therapy after his retirement. He was a gentle giant who listened to classical music and also knitted to keep flexibility in his hands.

Joe was very good, maybe top five of all time, but poor old Abe was talentless.
Yeah, I'm one of those who sincerely believe he was the greatest of all time. That guy was built like the Hulk, JL didn't care.
2:59 if he could, he’d eat him alive
Simon had no place in a boxing ring with Louis, absolutely outclassed
Joe Louis Had Some Of The Sharpest Punches I've Ever Seen! 🥊
He picked this guy apart with precision and power. Simon never really touched him. What a display of immense ability.
I'd say _the_ sharpest at heavyweight.
Great work by Louis, solves the question of skill over weight advantage.
Abe Simon was damn massive.😳
Timber!
He had acromegaly. People with that condition are usually massive and have way larger bones than the average person.
He looks like a hybrid clone of Shrek, Frankenstein, and the incredible Hulk.
Great fight! Abe Simon looks like giant.
He was 6'4 and 260 lbs, huge for his time.

I think you mean Muhammed Ali.
@@wanderer1955 joe louis would beat ali
@@hippo4214 Only in your dreams I'm afraid. Boxing has moved on a LOT since Joe Louis days.

Just to let you know, this was thier second fight in 1942.
I think it went worse for everyone he ever rematched.
It's like an heavy punching bag in front of Louis, at 01:52 you can hear the sound of devastation , followed by the shock wave.. lol.
I think Joe Louis would be the HW champ today.
You telling me he couldn't handle Usyk? Yeah, right!
Louis was so precise and always in postion. Simon took some hellacious shots, props to his toughness but he was outclassed for sure.
Simon must've outweighed Louis by 50-60 lbs.
CORRECT
Louis was 208 to Simon's 255
«Joe Louis 202 lbs beat Abe Simon 254 lbs by TKO at 1:20 in round 13 of 20»
Simon did very well compared to many of Louis's victims, effectively using his jab for much of the fight, but nobody evades the brown bomber for long
Watching this brings home just how tough and dangerous Tony Galento must have been. To put Joe Louis on
the canvas was some achievement.
For all the people that say the current hws are to big for the old guys.
Yep
Great fight!
Joe Louis was some heavyweight. Wow.
Simon was a massive man. But Louis pummeled him from pillar to post😮
Joe Louis was a great champion no doubt!
THE GREATEST
Quite possibly the greatest of all time.
He's big fella in On the Waterfront
No need for the music it's not a Rocky movie.
THE MUSIC IS VERY GOOD!
Agree, I had to turn off the sound altogether, couldn't stand it
Song?
Abe was such a gentle guy outside the ring. Joe shdv just took him for coffee instead of fightin him

Nice! You have Ali vs Oscar Bonavena?
A giant Oscar Bonavena
Incrível luta.
Joe Louis vs the Incredible Hulk😅
When boxing was boxing, including the compare and the audience.
The bigger they are the harder they fall ..! Orley Morlins ..
Why did he act like he was upset at the end?
He thought the count had been rushed

If Simon had some good coaching that taught him how to box and throw punches he would have cleaned out the Heavyweight division
Abe Simon had one of the best coaches all time Freddie Brown

Oh he had the master Jack Johnson a Louis hater in his corner but big Abe was a plodding slow fighter that just got worked over real good

Abe Simon's only technique was getting punched in the face
Not so, he had a modicum of skill--certainly more than Tony Galento. Also had a better jab than Marciano.

Tyson Fury could maybe beat Abe Simon too. Tyson Fury would jab Abe's face often.
Tyson Fury would jab and cross at Abe's face often...maybe knocking Abe out.
Fury is nothing believe me! He's baby boxer!
Big, strong muscles can help, but you still need to actually HIT other the other guy, and NOT GET hit.
Is that their great white hope 😹
👍👍👍
Wow Muhammad Ali vs Oskar Bonavena go
ALİ 🥊👑
Come on man, we don't need that stupid useless background music here!
THE MUSIC IS VERY GOOD!
@@ArranVid It's not a matter of good or not, it's unnecessary. Crowd noise from an old fight would have been much more appropriate.
Abe is an effing punching bag. A total mismatch. A chance for Joe's promoters to pick up a few extra bucks. Ugh!
20 rounds??? Jesus Christ

That's pretty interesting - Foreman said he didn't feel any pain against Ron Lyle either
