Here in North Bergen (his hometown) we have a park named after him that you could kind of compare to a mini Central Park. It’s fairly big, runs about 20 blocks wide with a nice lake in the middle. I often visit his statue there during times of strife.
Cinderella man is a must watch movie
This is the best documentary that I have seen on James J Braddock. Some great behind the scenes information and great footage. Incredibly researched as always Rich and thanks for sharing!
Sure thing, oncall21.
Great piece on Jim braddock and some of the most special traits that I will always remember about the New Jersey bulldog was that he was a tough durable fighter and 1of the most game and determined fighters that the boxing game has ever seen!👌🏾. The Cinderella Man 🎞📽🎬was a phenomenal picture as well and they had the right actors playing the roles. And Russell Crowe did a magnificent job of playing as jim jj braddock 👍🏾💯. The jim braddock story is definitely an inspirational story for all people of all ages and the example that jim had set for the world to see was that no matter how low you may be in life or how many times life may knock you down, there's always a chance for you to get back up and defeat the odds and reach your full potential in life as long as you believe in your self and you continue to keep pushing forward 👉🏾🥊🥊💯 keep up the great work Rich👍🏾📽🙂💯
Look how much leaner he was..
Thought a had the wrong fight, to much? Mafia in the boxing boars why did the yanks have so many fights that are fixed, the Ablin alb circus strong man, primero, stick him in youre top ten
Story, not fables
Or the fights he thrown for extra pay day, was othing but a circus act
Fix fix fix, wondersered why wb a, w b c, ibf wbo us ba, yanks ruined boxing
Jim Braddock was an inspiration
Braddock's my favorite fighter, this was a real treat to watch!! Thanx.👍
The actors that played these guys in the movie "Cinderella Man" did a great job imitating their real life characters style.
Apparently Max Bear was a much nicer guy outside the ring
@@Nimvar o yeah he was a great guy that movie restaurant seen wasn't accurate
Both fighters were depicted more falsely than true in the movie.
The movie was awesome though ....
@@jimkon5767 I'm not talking about their personalities or lives outside the ring. I'm talking solely about their fighting styles and the way each of them move inside the ring. Watch a old Braddock of Bear fight and you will see what I am talking about.
Both of these fighters were good for the time they lived in .Cinderella man really danced with a Baer
@Ned Kelly it is ain't it
Could've got himself killed, but you gotta take risk. Especially with starving kids.
Love it!!!
My favorite I must watched 4 times now great work
ty great video
James Braddock, eine Legende des Boxsports...
That Braddock left was Baer's demise.
At 22min he chops with the right and baer eats it and smiles..astute statement.
Braddock wasn't shy about leading with a head butt lol
I have thought a bout with Braddock against Bob Foster would be very interesting, Both are listed at 6'3".
This was a beautiful doc Rich. I didn't know half of the interesting info you provided about Braddock. I'm going to have to go watch the movie now since I've never seen it. Which is crazy cause I'm a big Crowe fan. But Rich, you have a gift bro. I swear I wish HBO was in it's boxing heyday - because you'd be part of the squad - and rightfully so. And I went to school in that NY "suburb" of Mt. Vernon - if it ever had been - it wasn't by the time we got there lol, though it was still a nice neighborhood I must say. I just find it hard to believe it ever hosted fights - unless it was at my old school of Mount Saint Michael Academy - where a lot of the NY Golden Gloves fights were held in the 90s. EDIT - and Max Baer should be more remembered among boxing fans in general - dude had some of the wildest ko's in boxing history at a time when that's what the HW division was all about. And the guy was a true character who just didn't give an F.
Thanks, Marcos. I'll add Max Baer to the to do list.
Unfortunately, had it not been for the Hollywood movie, a lot of younger folks wouldn't know anything about Braddock or Baer. But, it's too bad that they portrayed Baer as such a heartless villain. He was actually a good dude, they both were. I live boxing but the corruption has always been there. Still to this day, although not as much as a couple decades ago, when it was at its worst.
I'm not sure which fighter took a worse beating from Louis. My grandpa was from this era. I'm sure he loved Braddock. Tommy Morrison beat Foreman the same way Jim won. Smart, composed fighter. He'll yeah, Jimmy. We are still proud of you
tommy beat a old foreman
Who won the heavyweight championship at 45. Gave Briggs a Hell of a beating at 50. George was always a top fighter at any age. Just saying
@@adamg9173 doesn’t change that foreman of 71 would have destroyed him
Probably. I bet Michael Moorer could have dropped Morrison to. That sure didn't matter to George. Holyfield in his prime learned respect from Foreman. Just me talking. I like old George. Crafty, hard hitting tank that could beat anyone on any given night. Great win loss record anyway
Braddock was hungry when he fought Bear..it was a money survival fight.
Max played too much with a hungry fighter like Braddock. You have to take every opponent seriously.
@Ned Kelly yeah I have been in my fare share of kickboxing, and grappling matches myself.
Baer looked bad, out of shape and such, but Braddock was clearly the more skilled operator.
Those are facts. When a fighter is hungry and determined to win you must never take any fighter for a pushover because that could be your demise by not staying hungry and focused yourself!👍🏾💯
Cinderella's kids were starving at home and this guy's cokin and joking.
Jimmy wore Max out!
Braddocks' conditioning and durability was top notch in his fight against max. His cardio won him that fight. And its especially impressive considering that he ate some nasty body shots from max throughout the bout.
Exactly what I was going to say - he ate some body shots from Max in that fight that would have folded lesser fighters up like dry laundry.
Please do a video on Jesse James Hughes.
Dare Devil's father in the Netflix series and Marvel comic was a boxer residing in Hells Kitchen.
you should do a video on Maxie Rosenbloom 223 wins with only 19ko is crazy to me
This is the Cinderella man movie we also should of got
Sounds like chopping wood when good hits are landed and the crowd screams.
Braddock...a stevedore like Manny Paqciauo
Art Lasky had not defeated Steve Hamas, he lost against him...
At 7:50 is that not Freddy Brown and Arcel?
Yep
Running "red blood" just as the Netflix series.
Had no idea "Hells Kitchen" was actually a factual area or location in America. Hense the Dare Devil Marvel character.
West Side Manhattan
All IRISH. NICE ONE RICH.
Do a benny lynch video rich
On the to do...
🎱

Certainly Braddock was in inspiration however this fight is very suspicious. Baer did not fight. Something was afoot. I’ve watched it dozens of times. Another boxing history website, I won’t mention it, has a terrific piece on this fight. All kudos to Braddock. Heart of a lion
Baer was inconsistent and was beaten by the man who trained far harder for this fight
Baer toyed with Braddock, looked like he was talking the entire fight and landed the heavier punches. No way did Braddock win it! The Movie depicting this fight was a joke, even more so than the decision
Braddock was a stevedore.
Stevie Dorr was a braggart.
I don't believe the title should have changed hands.
After watching that fight I would consider it a draw.
Max had absolutely no respect for Cinderella and he had no reason to respect him. But boxing is a harsh sport
No, he did. Max gave Braddock much higher respect than the sports media of the time. Cinderella man is a very innacurate movie in its portrayal of Baer
Doesn't look especially talented or strong or skilled. Neither of em.
i'm not sure if the film is just grainy but, these guys are slow and awkward... against Ali, Tyson, Holmes, Fury, either Klitschko...? No chance in hell.
It was a different time, The sport have evolved! This was just a stupid comment. Think next time before you make a comment
@@publicenemy4102 you're right, I should have mentioned Lennox Lewis and Holyfield.
Also, 'the sport have evolved'?
maybe think about your grammar before attempting to belittle someone else.
@@benjaminwuamett6858 english is my 3 language so it's all ok. But yes your comment was stupid and you are not a thinker thats for sure
@@benjaminwuamett6858 i have a challenge for you! Write to me in swedish and see how it goes ;)
@@publicenemy4102 hah. fair enough! all the best, mate.
No way Braddock won the fight. He barely laid a glove on Baer.
That's what happened when you don't take your opponent seriously
If that "title" fight wasn't fixed... It should have been.
That was embarrassing.
Two ten year old boys in the backyard do less telegraphing, and more damage.
As much as I love the movie, I don't think I can ever watch Cinderella Man, again.
Back then maybe even 30% of title fights were fixed. The mob managed most top guys and they owned a lot of books and would fleece other books with fixed fights. This was boxing for most of the century.
How to get paid if you don't play ball. What's more important pride and self-respect or dinner when you're a father of 3+. Rhetorical question.
Terrible fight, Neither looked like boxers. Hands down no movement, I took up boxing at 48 yrs, won my first fight fighting a heavyweight and I was only 11 stone.
different times pal the art was in its infancy ...
@@thecrow7 Yes I agree. Look like middleweights too except max
Look pal...
I don't have 11 stones. I only have two. But regardless, it takes stones to get in the ring, pal. Tip of the cap to ya.
🪨 🪨 < Stones
Man those old fights were BORING- just two guys standing in front of each other, usually standing straight, throwing punches and holding.
Terrible fighters…. I would knock them both out.
what a scrub thing to say
Impossible you can't knock out a dead man. C'mon bruh
ye right lol
Sounds good you got the talking game done it's not the same when you're in the ring nobody to hold your hand hahaha
Psssh. Hey Bri Bri... You get bitch-slapped by girl scouts selling cookies.
