Jersey Joe was robbed terrible in this fight he was giving the Brown Bomber a boxing lesson in this one. That's one of the reasons why he was thrown out of one of Louis's training camps for upstaging the Champ. The Brown Bomber not to take anything away from him always looked sensational against flat footed stationary fighters like himself. During that era because of his lighting fast rapier punches. If you remember hearing Ali say before the Liston fight" I'm hear with Sugar Ray, Joe Louis is flat footed and Sonny Liston is flat footed, Sugar Ray and I are two pretty dancers we can't be beat" The Brown Bomber always had trouble with guys like this his two principal protagonist in this vein being Conn and Walcott. Both fast, speedy in and out fighters that gave him hell. And Joe Louis knew he lost that fight, because he tried to leave the ring directly after the final bell without hearing the outcome of the fight. Something that I've never seen him do in any of the previous fight films involving him that I've watched.
I mean thats the general sense, I think Louis got his licks in too, and considering it was his title, the minutes waisted by Jersey Joe step shifting to keep Louis off of him probably made him seem like he was cheating is way to a victory. Back then that didn’t really slide. In the rematch he got knocked out because he realized they wouldn’t give him the title if he danced for half the fight. In contemporary judging Walcott would have won. This video is a highlight reel so its really only showing the beautiful counters and set ups by Jersey Joe, but really the true picture of the event.
Also I don’t think you are being fair with Louis. This is Louis in his comeback. Ali in his comeback was struggling with Bonevena and losing to Norton and Frazier. He really faired no better. Louis was a technical marvel if you understand what hes doing. Even in the sense if his defense hes very good at creating openings subtly and riding shots / taking the steam off of them
You're judging the entire fight without even having seen it. As for Louis not being able to handle movers, you need to watch him fight instead of making assumptions on what Ali said. Bob Pastor was a really good, quick boxer who had beaten notable opponents such as Jimmy Bivins. Louis beat him twice. He also beat Conns twice and he knocked out Walcott the second time around. You pretend that only Louis had problems catching up to fast opponents yet Ali could barely handle Jimmy Young. Same goes for Foreman. No one likes fast footed opponents, save for Frazier.
@@Pedro_Le_Chef You're a Joe Louis apologist. You go all around youtube trying to mitigate Joe Louis' less-than-stellar performances. No one's reading all that rhetoric. You don't have to create extra mumbo jumbo to admit Joe Louis lost this fight.
@@GrubKiller436 3 minute rounds have been reduced to 20 seconds long. If you think you can score a fight based on the available footage go ahead, just don't pretend to actually know better than the judges and the referee. I'm not an apologist just because you disagree with the facts I present. Attack my arguments. If you can't, go kick rocks.
Hardly. The only Judge who had Walcott leading was with a score of 6-7-2. Walcott was leading by one round in the most generous scorecard. That's hardly a robbery.
@@USMC-cv5sdthis is irrespective of Joe Louis, look at wallcotts footwork that is unparalleled in heavyweight and his off beat timing is mesmerising (although joe Louis's defence is not working properly due to both age and Wallcotts off beat rthym)
Louis a 10-1 favorite in that fight who was knocked down twice and off-balance the whole fight by Jersey Joe got the decision because the fix was in. Period.
@what. nbba ali studied joe louis a lot so it would make sense that he studied the same era heavyweight contenders. But Walcott used (similarly to ali) the footwork as feints for open angles. Walcott is to ali skillwise relatively to Frazier to Tyson in skills
Hold your horses.! Louis was coming off his second layoff for this fight. He had previously missed over 4 years and 3 months. He was ring rusty and past his prime. Walcott was active during the war years and his timing was sharp. A prime Louis knocks out Walcott in 9 rounds and there would be no rematch. Using this version of Louis and criticizing him in the words of Mike Tyson is Ludicrous.
R.I.P headphone users. In all seriousness though, that crowd was electric, and it's a shame we don't hear that sort of crowd here in the States anymore. Crowds in the UK and Japan are much more lively by today's standards.
There are zero fights in recent or semi recent times that come close to the science, stamina and action of these fights. So I’d imagine that’s why crowds can never beg this excited
That crowd was also watching what appeared to be a stunning upset in progress, which is an exciting experience; one might note that the moment the decision is announced is one of the quietest from the crowd in this entire video.
The man was a beast. He had it all. The only reason he lost a lot of his fights was his tendency to trade. Even though he could easily outbox almost all of his opponents, he loved trading. The guy was a fighter who happened to be good at boxing. An ATG for sure.
@@NyangisKhan . I think he is more durable at the later age. He is way tougher in his 30s than 20s. Trading with Louis and Rocky, showed how good he can roll with their power punches.
Both these guys will tell you nobody hit harder than Marciano.Worst decision ever Walcott was robbed.I quit betting on boxing years ago.Its a shame the way the I.R.S.treated Louis.
I saw thar fight at age 6 years old watching through Doolittle & Allen furniture store window, Nottingham Way, Mercerville, N.J. today now called Hamilton, N.J. Yes, I still think Jersey Joe won!
@@H.K.5 Up until Marciano got that knock-out punch Walcot schooled him throughout. I think Joe Walcot is one of the unluckiest boxers. He is actually better than those he lost to
@@H.K.5 : When you use the word 'better', are you in any way insinuating that every time a boxer loses a fight [particularly through a sudden knockout punch] then they must have lost to a better boxer? Haven't you seen great boxers lose, only to regain the fight convincingly? As at the time Ali fought Foreman, he was no where near the odds, considering the difficulties he had against Frazier's style, yet Foreman pummelled Frazier; and nearly killed him in the return fight. But Ali schooled Foreman. He will school him again if they fought a second time. Ali did the same to Sonny Liston 2ce. On recent note, Fury got knocked down by Wilder in that first fight, but wilder relies and keeps looking for one good punch whilst Fury schooled him. Fury did it again. And in fact showed the world how useless one punch artists look when they come up against proper boxers. Watch that Marciano and Walcott fight again. Except for that punch, Marciano is not even in Walcott's league tactically. Good for him he retired then. From Sonny Liston to Ali to George Foreman, coming forward, they would all defeat Marciano, any how you wanna look at it.
Louis had problems with counter-punchers....that was the only flaw in the Champs Fight game...Walcott did what Billy Conn did....and yes he was robbed...But all great champions get thrown a bone, and Louis got his in this fight...He gave Walcott a immediate rematch though, and Louis NEVER LOST A REMATCH.......
Schmelling was the first one to figue that out. Louis tried to use his right hand to block the right hand shots coming at him. Walcott ate his lunch by surgically using his right after the Louis jab. Hiway robbery. Walcott was as slick as it gets.
@@GrubKiller436 Rocky was floored by 40 year olds Moore and Walcott, ex light heavyweights. Louis hits several magnitudes harder than that and is way faster than both. It took Rocky 8 rounds to take out a Louis who had nothing left but his jab, and he still had a black eye in the end of the fight because old Louis could still connect with Rocky. Rocky is going to try the same come forward to slug approach in a fight with prime Louis and he is going to get out-punched by a harder hitting, faster, more skilled man. There is not a single advantage that Ricky would have in that fight. Go watch the Nathan Mann and the second Godoy fight if you want to see how it would play out.
@@Pedro_Le_Chef Joe Louis never fought Archie Moore. Your delusional mind likes inserting imaginary fantasies. Joe Louis got floored by Walcott 3 times. Marciano only once. Joe Louis lost to Walcott once and lost to Ezzard Charles. Had he fought Archie Moore, it would've been another rough day for Louis. Let's not pretend Joe Louis walked over Archie Moore, much less that they even fought. You did not provide a valid argument so try again.
Statue of the Champ(is here) was unveiled today at Wiggins Park on the waterfront👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 welcoming people to Camden facing Philadelphia 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✊🏾
By just watching the highlights, it looked like Walcott schooled Joe Louis, however the full footage shows the constant come forward pressure of Louis which some fans and judges favor. The counter-puncher almost always looks like a clear winner in highlight videos, regardless of weight class (i.e. Canelo-Golovkin, Leonard-Hagler, etc)
I am not old enough to have witnessed Joe Louis in action, after watching fight highlights of Joe Louis he definitely gets my vote for Greatest Boxer of All Time! (Edging out Jack Johnson) Rest Peacefully "Champ" 🥊 Rest Peacefully 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Not that big of a robbery...maybe shoplifting..all the sports writers had it close.. remember it's scored on a rounds basis.. knock-downs not that big of a deal score wise
@@GrubKiller436 You don’t slow down at 34 anyway unless your body has taken too much damage and Louis was completely fine at this point of his career. Pretty sure this was only a year or two after he dominated Billy Conn.
@@H.K.5 Maybe but taking the years off from the ring does affect you a lot. The difference was the JJW was active even during the war and Louis was not. He had 4 years off the ring if you don't count the 1944 fight as what many writers consider an exhibition. Though he did have a 4 year layoff after his ko loss to Abe Simon but was active throughout 1944 from then on.

"Ali had trouble with the left hook and people who parried the jab like Norton. Can you imagine what Louis would've done to him?" See how this logic works?
@@Pedro_Le_Chef Ken Norton would've beaten Joe Louis. Let's not compare eras like you're doing. This is no disrespect to Joe Louis, but the fighters were smaller and slower back then. This is nothing to take away from their greatness.
@@GrubKiller436 ....how would Norton beat Louis exactly? The moment Louis connects with that chin it's going to detonate. Eddie Futch, Norton's trainer certainly didn't seem to think Norton was better than Louis, and Futch was training with Louis when he was a young amateur boxer. Again, your lack of knowledge shows. Norton is an inch taller than Louis and about 5 lbs heavier in his prime weight. There is nothing he can do to stop Louis from mauling him.
