    The blow appears to land in the chin area but the clip itself isn't completely conclusive.

    It was the head shot.

    I scored the fight and gave Braddock 2 rounds. He gassed badly, partly from Louis' attack, partly from not fighting in two years, but you really can't call Braddock a loser!

    He was a journeyman type who went on a hot streak and caught a very apathetic Baer to win the title. He also got 10% of all Louis's purses as a clause for giving him a title shot, which was a gift that kept on giving for years.

    Braddock would have likely lost his next title match.

    Most champions from Liston to present would have beaten Braddock easier and sooner.

    I think the trajectory of the punch grazed his chin before ending on his chest.

    Where's the 'both' option :confundio1:

    Chest. But maybe just grazing his chin also. When Louis was hit, his head jolted ever so slightly

    You ask a question and if you don't get the answer you want you sulk and imply everyone who disagrees with you is wrong! It's really funny! And,oh so repetiously Ground Hog Day!:aaaaa:

    Couldn't your head jolt if you were hit on the chest?

    He got nothing of Louis's purses,he got 10% of Jacobs promotions of heavyweight title fights that involved Louis.

    God loves a trier, but he also frowns on bad losers!

    If you were honest ,you would have entitled your thread something to the effect of. " Can we say for certain from the footage that the punch that puts Louis down lands on his chin?" As per usual though, you are doing ,what in a court of law would be termed "leading the witness". It's fine by me because

    1. It is so very amusing!
    2.I couldn't give a ******'s either way!
    3..I've already conceded I misread Braddock's interview!
    So your thread is:
    1. Redundant
    2.Pointless
    3.Mean spirited and misguided irrelevant nonsense!

    To top it off half the replies don't agree with you!
    You have therefore committed a tactical error of sublime stupidity .
