    Tommy Farr gave a prime Joe Louis a very competitive fight. Indeed, many people thought Farr beat Louis.

    Ok, that's your opinion. Many other people disagree.

    Have you watched the fight? I did and it was close. If you watched it, what are your thoughts about that match? I wonder why Joe didn't fight more aggressively. Was Farr a stylistic problem for him? Farr never seemed to be in trouble as he avoided Joe's best punches. Farr had good movement and a decent jab.

    Have you watched the fight? If so, please explain to me how the fight is not very close. Maybe I'm missing something.

    No, it was Farr's opinion as told to my Father. Who disagrees?

    I tohught you were arguing for Farr winning.

    When the OP says

    "far didnt" he meant he didnt win and your reply objection sounds like you are saying he did win.

    Ambiguity reads both ways in the statement, if it reads " farr did prove competitive", thats errr...Farr enough with me.

    Louis injured his right hand in the fight it hampered him. I don't think the fight was close, Farr won maybe 4/5 rds.
