Should Louis Have Gotten Conn Out Of There Sooner?

So does everyone here

 

Styles make fights, FRazier and Norton gave Ali hell, both were destroyed by Foreman, Ali then defeats Foreman pretty easily. All fighters had a fighter or style that gave them difficulties. And we can use that as an indicator of how a fighter would've done against a fighter with that same or similar style. In other words Conn gave Louis fits, What would the bigger,stronger, and faster Ali would've done? But the most important thing is, like all great fighters, Louis found away to win.... And that's ultimately what's remembered.

 

Never ceases to amaze me the morons who talk **** without either knowing what their looking at or having never seen what they are talking **** about to begin with.

You can listen to the radio broadcast and see that not only is Conn doing great in the film but that some of his other great moments ended up on the cutting room floor.

The idea that Louis suddenly changed his strategy in the 13th and cranked it up a notch is nonsense. Watch the two fighters and tell me which ones performance is inconsistent with the prior 12 rounds. Thats Conn. Credit to Louis for wearing the smaller fighter out but lets not pretend that Louis suddenly woke up and decided to end the fight as if he could have earlier. Louis was in there fighting, stalking, and trying the entire 12 rounds the difference was that Conn, not Louis, had to expend all that energy to compete with a much bigger man and by rd 13 he had shot his bolt.

 

Thats what i say but some people want to re write boxing history.the only thing that matter is the win.

 

Im laughing at your posts tough guy

 

I disagree.

I don't think anyone is saying Louis changed his strategy. But, he did come into the 13th with a noticeably renewed pace, which is evident upon viewing and is also consistent with reports. So, not nonsense, at all, really...

 

S

So stfu

 

I would make a couple of observations here.

At one point Conn slipped and fell, and Louis stepped back from him and allowed him to get up.

He was not obliged to conduct this act of good sportsmanship.

Also some accounts suggest that Jack Blackburn advised Louis, that Conn was leaving himself open to a right hand counter.

 

Good god sir!

Why?

 

Because joe louis kicked his ass twice
