Watch Louis' reaction after the ref counts to 10....that's greatness pure greatness. A true champion. That's how the greatest of all time should react. I love it. It's what makes Louis so special. Then I watch antonio tarvers reaction after knocking out Roy Jones :roll::-( There is only one Joe Louis. Greatest of all time P4P Calm composed cool..Louis had those traits like no other
Yes, he obeyed the rules as they were laid out for him by his handlers regarding his reaction upon knocking out a white opponent very well.
Behind on points, against a prime hall of Famer, in one of the most important fights of his career..can you imagine the anxiety and stress? Any other fighter would have jumped up and down going bananas. Instead Louis put his head down, and walked silently back to his corner, I've never seen anything like that
You saw it in every other fight where Louis knocked out a white guy. They MADE him do it. Was it in his actual contract, can anyone remember? His first contract?
Yes, but when you get an adrenaline rush like he must have got, it's nearly impossible to control your celebrating. How he did it is incredible. He looked like one of those super heroes in the movies, a calm cool assassin. Knock out a prime billy conn? No big deal. Hey Joe...it is a big deal!
manny seaman was joe louis' main corner man that night. he was known for chewing cigars during a fight. when joe went to his corner as conn was being counted out he said, "how many seegars did you swallow, manny?"
