    Man, I know I saw this fight back in the day but it got lost somewhere in the old noggin. I'm glad I spotted this out there because it was worth seeing again. A damn good fight and I would have been OK with a draw. I was at odds with how Dick Stockton and Gil Clancy at ringside were scoring it. But that was because how close every round was. Definitely recommend this.

    I think this victory along with Ledoux's draw with Ken Norton got him a title shot against Larry Holmes.

    Ledoux makes short work of 1940 Joe Louis. Short work.

    That's about the same as my scoring.

    Yeah, but 1939 and 1941 Louis takes Ledoux apart. '40 was just a rough year for the Brown Bomber.
