    I got zero in the way of links.

    But I have quite a few isolated peices of news lifted from secondary soucres etc., if there's anything specific you are after let me know and I will have a nose later on.

    Anything newspaper-related that describes the fight right after it took place (so not biographies etc) would be great. :good

    Edit: The Baer-Braddock fight, of course.

    A Braddock quote after the fight:

    “I knew as early as the third round I was going to win. That’s when Baer hit me on the chin with his Sunday punch and I took it. I’m the happiest guy in the world. Nobody knew what that fight meant to me. Money, security, education for my children, financial aid for my parents. If ever a guy went into the ring with something to fight for, I was the guy.”
    Edward J. Neil wrote some memorable articles back then -including coverage of this fight.

    A hungry fighter indeed. Imagine the incentive to win knowing you will have permanent security for yourself and family.
