http://www.boxing.com/the_truth_about_maxie_rosenbloom.html What a character. Obviously today he'd be getting DQ'd with the open glove, which would force him to clench his fists. Wonder what kind of fighter that would have turned him into.
Ever notice the guy's build? He looked as strong as an ox, but with that slippery style and open glove slaps,....the guy's record, demeanor and fearlessness have always fascinated me.
I can imagine what he would say if he was suddenly transplanted to 2015. Something like, "Whaddaya mean I'm only going to fight twice a yeaah?!"
Maxie Rosenbloom, because of his unique style of fighting, coupled with his ruggedness made him a tough lightheavyweight to beat...Unfortunatly Maxie had little education. For example he explained " I quit school in the 3rd grade, because I didn't want to pass my fodda, who was in the 4th grade"...Sage thinking on his part...
