Louis vs Walcott

From what I have heard, Louis actually apologized to Walcott after the decision was read.

 

Theo has alot of pace, but his punch-resistance is questionable.

 

Agreed.

Walcott obviously won the two rounds with knockdowns, but everything else looks like it could be scored 0-0. Walcott is backing away and showboating, while Louis presses and often misses. Walcott did well in making Louis look bad (which possibly played a role in convincing many people that he won), but he doesn't look to me like he's doing enough actual scoring of his own to actually deserve the win.

 

:huh

 

Theo Walcott, a footballer. Think he was pissed last night judging by his posts on the British forum

The finishing combo Joe Louis put on Walcott in the rematch I liken to Dempsey's combo that decked Tunney.
Both great fighters a long way past their primes showing a brief and deadly flash of their former greatness.

 

my favroutie is teh Conn one, but maybe Joe liked it better as he needed it abit and it was more satisfying

 

Louis only said the combo was "one of his best"

There are far too many to mention. Joe Louis in the 1930s and early 40s was awesome.

 

alot of Louis's KOs are amazing to watch my favrouite LOis combo is the triple left hook on Max Baer but there is something awe inspiring about watching the black and white footage of Joe Louis. Something hauntingly beautiful.
