    This Louis kid looks ok. Don't think he's going to go very far in boxing.

    "Not only was all the United States watching, but so was Nazi Germany...much to the chagrin of Adolf Hitler!"

    Grisham seems to want to wear many hats. (sports anchor, comedic actor....pulp writer?) and someone really ought to go up and whisper in his ear that we're in church.

    Schmeling took a some good punishment in the first fight but by legend won because he found the "weakness"

    he got lots of good right hands on Louis and backed him up

    Louis learned his lesson matured fought hard and just wouldnt be denied

    I also believe Schmeling had a vertebrae broken from the first knockdown when his back was turned

    if you get a chance read Ring of Hate

    Louis is overrated. Schmelling? Please he sucks. This era of boxing is in the tubes. What happened to fighters like Jack Johnson? John L Sullivan? Fighters of today just aren't as good. ;)

    In all seriousness, that was good stuff.

    27 professional Muay Thai bouts? Oh well then Sakkreerin must be a swell boxer. Great logic, Teddy.

    Oh, and his record was 8-12? That's damn near the .500 mark! This guy is freaking LEGIT.

    Round 1

    Sakkreerin is wading to his left and then jumping in with double left hooks. Barthelemy pushes down on Sakkreerin's arms, knocking the hooks down in midair. Barthelemy lets a precipitation of jabs fall on Sakkreerin's face as he stands upright and leans slightly back, legs rooted in place as he turns and squares up to his slowly moving opponent, relaxed.

    10-9 Barthelemy

    Barthelemy pretty casual that round. Tough to score.

    Yes, but like Usmanee (both have KO rates of less than half) Sakkreerin lacks the dynamite to be the guy to do it.
