Joe Louis: Heavyweight master who knocked out fascism
Published
1 day agoon

By Owais tabassum: The year was 1938. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party just annexed Austria. Humanity was holding his breath when the world shakes on the edge of the most destructive conflict in history – World War II.
Among this approaching catastrophe, the next battle occupied a central place in the Staw in Novel York. The air was dense with the smog of the great crisis, when the seventy thousand viewers packed the Yankee stadium, and the estimated one hundred million listeners tuned on the radio around the world as a ponderous weight master Boxing, Joe Louis, met with Max Schmeling in Germany.
Adolf Hitler and the “main propagandist of the Nazi party” Joseph Goebbels supported Schmeling as their advertising Stooge in the world of boxing and in a good thing.
Schmeling was a skillful boxer, quick on the legs and a technician of the ring, which kept knockout power in both fists. He proved his abilities in Louis’s detention in their first meeting two years earlier, asking him his first defeat. He was a powerful pugilist, and Hitler knew it too well.
Public sentiment depends on Louis’s victory; In anticipation, millions crumbled around the crackling radios. This was the gravity of the event in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt personally told Louis: “These are the muscles we need to defeat the Germans.” The situation was ready with tension, and Louis’s arms were ponderous.
“FDR” did not have to worry, Louis understood the task. The march towards the middle ring in an elegant, squatting attitude, using his destructive power, provided crushing blows to Schmeling’s head and body. He knocked him down three times, stopping the competition with a definitely knockout in the first round.
The image of fascism was almost decimated in 124 seconds.
Irate Joseph Goebbels signaled transmitting engineers frantically to pull the plug on the gearbox when Schmeling was lying on the ropes, succumbing to Louis’ blows.
When the word about Louis’s triumph spread quickly, the streets in every state broke out with joy. People sang and danced on the occasion of their hero’s victory. Louis’s victory helped pave the path to racing relations throughout the country. Louis, an African American born in Alabama in the Sharecroping family, literally fought the earth and defeated the concept of Aryan suppreation Adolf Hitler. The victory was sweet.
Then Louis joined the war efforts in 1942, becoming the original inspiration for the exhibitions of “Captain America” by Marvel in the army camps, entertainment of soldiers and supporting unity among different breeds fighting side by side in the bloodiest conflicts.
Schmeling on his part never joined the Nazi party; His relationship with the Führer was intricate. He took his life and reputation to facilitate Jewish children to escape persecution. He was also a hero.
After returning to the ring, Louis reigned as a heavyweight master for almost 12 years – a stunning achievement that remains unparalleled to this day. Only in 1950
Louis’s later life was destroyed by financial problems, his guides put most of their earnings, leaving him only a fraction of his winnings. Louis was also extremely generous, helping his family and friends leave the poverty hole. Unfortunately, many Louis business projects did not succeed.
Perhaps Louis’s most destructive career blow appeared not in the ring, but from IRS, who claimed that he had to owe over USD 500,000 backward taxes. With interest and fines, this number increased to over USD 1,000,000 – $ 13 million equivalent today. When Louis’s mother died, she left him savings of life, a modest $ 500. Tragically IRS immediately took over this sum. While my examination of time tax regulations confirmed that the government was acting under his rights, I did not find a justification for the moral indecent confiscation of a personal gift from her deceased mother to her son.
The issue of debt, slowing down the reflexes and wearing a bald patch, Louis, with an excellent career of 66 wins, 52 knockout and only 2 paralysis, he was last back in the ring for the last time.
This time his enemy was no one other than Future Hall of Famer, an invincible record, a destructive artist with a knockout; “Brocton Blockbuster” Rocky Marciano.
Although Rocky expressed regret because of the fight with the hero whose victory against Schmeling himself celebrated as newborn people. The way he dismantled Louis would think differently. Marciano threw Louis in the 8th round with his right hand, sending him through the ropes and cleaned him from the ring. When Louis helped his feet hopelessly, the feeling of sadness has passed the boxing world. Louis’s boxing career has ended
Louis’s heritage lives in up-to-date media.
It is fascinating to think that just a few dozen years later we can see these historical meetings in a stunning color and high resolution. The technology has been promoted to such an extent that we can now enter the ring as an almost perfect graphic interpretation of Joe Louis in the newly published simulation game “Undisputed”. Could fans of this era ever imagine such a jump? “
Louis and Schmeling made friends for the rest of their lives, Schmeling provided Louis with financial assistance during the most desperate years. This bond was proof that reconciliation is possible even among enemies at the opposite ends of an ideological spectrum.
Other characters of boxing and a wider world of celebrities, namely Jack Dempsey, the Baseball Jackie Robinson icon and the musical legends of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr, helped Louis financially in recent years
Muhammad Ali’s boxing icon later took care of Louis’s funeral, when he died on April 12, 1981. On the 69th anniversary of the titanic drowning, the boxing world mourned the loss of one of the most titanic characters.
Joe Louis survived the era defined by deep segregation, racial hatred, World War II and a great crisis. However, having only a few boxing gloves, he broke racial barriers, built bridges, united a divided nation and knocked out fascism.

Coach Ronnie Shields says that the fight of David Benavidez with David Morrell in February last year will aid him prepare to defeat the undisputed lightweight champion, Dmitry Bivol, if he still holds four titles after the likely rematch against Artur Beterbiew.
Shields sees the fight between Dmitrija Bivol and Benavidez as “50-50”, but many fans give David an advantage in this fight because of his combination. Benavidez also has youth and endurance. Bivol is 34 years aged and looked as if he had recently intended in an assassination in a rematch with Beterbieal, when he was forced to round two to seven.
Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” by Benavidez’s ability to stand the talented Cuban Morrell (11-1, 9 Kos), which strikes much more than Bivol, will aid him prepare for this clash. Benavidez will be handed over by Bivol to the trilogy match with the former unquestioned lightweight heavyweight champion Betebiev.
“I think he is adolescent. Warrior About David Morrell. “When I talk to power, let them know that this kid is a warrior and that he must come back.
“Many people have seen a great warrior against David Benavidez.” We feel great with what he did and where he is now.
Morrella’s power
It is significant that Morrell does not stay away from the ring too long after this loss, because he lost a enormous impetus in his career. Many fighters tend to stay away from the ring after they got a lot of payment, like the one who got Morrell and their careers fall. If Morrell is able to fight several times in 2025, he will be able to challenge the world championship title in one of the cards in Riyadh.
“Of course,” said Shields, asked if Morrell is in the best most hard punches in the 175 pounds. “All airy massive scales can hit and they will undoubtedly feel it.
Morrell can be the biggest hit in a lightweight heavyweight division for individual shots. Artur Beterbiev is seen as the most hard puncher, but when you look at the arrows that landed against Dmitry Bivol, they were not at the level because Morrell hit Benavidez. Morrell and Beterbiev divide the common opponent in Radivoje Kalajdzic. Morrella’s balls looked stronger. The difference was that Arthur attacked Kalajdzic more relentlessly, which is why he knocked him out in the fifth round in 2019.
“Fight 50-50”
“I think David Morrell showed that he is a real warrior.
“Everyone knows about David Morrell and everyone knows that they saw each other again.
“Benavidez is a really bright guy and he can handle this ring, but Bivol I can’t wait for David Morrell to fight the winner.

Deontay Wilder has always been proud of one special blow that landed in defense of WBC weight of heavyweight.
Wilder liked a blow so much that he thought he had killed a man whose jaw took the burden of strength. Artur Szpilka was lying on canvas for a few seconds, when Wilder came out of prison, debating on the results cards.
Barclays Center in Brooklyn broke out after a blow, which resonated the arena and made a trembling sound during landing.
Despite the fact that Wilder was completely elaborate, Szpilka made an amazing claim 18 months later after returning. Before the battle with Adam Kowacki, which he lost in four rounds, Szpilka tried to play in Wilder’s most deadly contact.
“Everything was different in this training camp.
“I want to show the world and my country that what happened in Wilder’s fight was an accident.
“Sparring was perfect for this camp.
“I’m not worried about fighting in his hometown.
“I heard Kownachi’s conversation about my chin, but there is nothing that he can say when we are in the ring.
“We talked a lot, but on July 15 he can talk that I can’t wait to show the world.
Szpilka was taken by a warrior who was marked as the future world champion. However, like Szpilka, the cow’s career broke up after losing. Szpilka lost half of his last eight professional boxing matches before he moved to MMA. He was also badly knocked out in this code.
Kowacki lost to Robert Helenius three years after the triumph Szpilka and could not win in five straightforward duels.
Wilder’s story has a similar ending, despite the fact that he continues his course, defeating Chris Arreola and a few others after a pin. The first loss gave birth to a professional implosion when the “brown bomber” fell into the form of Tyson Fury and lost by TKO in 2020.
A member of the US team from Alabama from 2006 recently faced and lost to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Wilder has only been able to win in five years.
Worldboxingnews.com was henceforth informed only by manager Shelly Finkel that Wilder is not planning to retire.

By: Sean Crose
According to Chris Mannix, both Gervont Davis and Lamont Roach are a game. This is good news for fighting fans, who basically thought that Underdog Roach deserved to nod a judge after the final bell freed himself in the first and more, as long as only the battle. However, the fight was considered a renovation, which makes a rematch an obvious choice for every warrior. However, boxing boxing is almost a surprise when a massive fight is formed on American soil. Recognition for Roach, and especially Davis, for being ready to throw again. Mannix claims that Davis-Roach 2 may fall in June.
It would certainly be a positive development. However, every time he would be nice in the near future. The truth is that the first fight, though not justified thriller, was a fascinating matter. It was expected that Davis won, but things did not go as planned. At the beginning, the praised Davis’ power did not seem to affect Roach too deeply. What’s more, Roach was extremely disciplined all the time, stopping Davis from controlling the pace. Roach may not be straight by the judges after a duel, but it was obvious that it was a much bigger challenge for Davis than most of everyone she expected.
With this in mind, Davis remains one of the biggest attractions in sport. It probably won’t remain such a great attraction if Roach finally wins the rematch, which he just can. The question really is whether Davis can make the right corrections that he will have to defeat Roach. The truth is that Davis can be forced to find a way to just fly his frustrating opponent. This is an amazing thing for a man known to determine a competitive fight after a fight. Despite this, the size results from the uprising. And Davis will have to be his best if he wants to beat Roach in a rematch.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the rematch will even happen. Boxing can suppress its promising possibilities, how history has shown over and over again. Despite this, the fact that both Davis and Roach are apparently willing to take him again, is a promising news for fans of fighting. Perhaps the days of fighter players to sit down, which could be their biggest moments, end. Do not make a mistake, Davis and Roach will put a lot on the line if they return to the ring.
