Joe Louis v Jersey Joe Walcott 1

There were many ringsides reporters. Like 30 of them and the score cards had Walcott the winner by 2 to 3 margin or 66% of the time. I have listed them before. The crowed agrees and booed Joe Louis getting a decision vs, a mostly unknown back guy! Furthermore it's not like I have seen the fight, just not all of it. Boxing you know did have its share of alleged fix fights with one out right admission of a fix bt a fighter within the timeline. My hunch is if the full fight can be viewed it won't change some people's opinion on who won.

 

I'll drop out now and agree to differ!

 

Thank you, sir.

We're all capable of collating historical scorecards and determining that 2/3 judges & roughly 1/3 journalists scored for Louis. None of us, me included, are adding anything other than our own interpretations on those scores (for what it's worth, I'm with the majority, it's likely that JJW had the best case for winning a fight that was sufficiently close it can't credibly be described as a robbery). You, however, have added your own interpretation of the entire fight as a primary source. I read your post more carefully than any other on this thread. The forum, & I, is lucky to have access to your post.
