The actual skill level of Jim Braddock

It's funny how you think I am misleading people.

I started in Youtube making videos just for myself.
I wanted to see certain boxers highlights to certain songs.
I never marketed my videos, or cared if other people saw them or not.
I only started sharing them in places like this when I realized that people really liked them.

I didn't control people, or make them watch my content.
18,000 people chose to follow along, and see all my new content.

My videos have been viewed 14,000,000 times.
I have been told by people that my videos changed their lives, inspired them, and helped them.

Legendary boxers like Lennox Lewis and Sugar Ray Leonard loved the videos I made on them.
And it brought them joy. What more could I ask for?

Till today I don't take video requests.
Because I just create what I feel like. And express myself inspired by what I see.
What I'm getting at, is you are feeling salty and bitter because people chose for themselves to view boxing through my window of perspective.

And instead of working to produce quality content yourself, like you should be doing, you are busy tripping other people up.
Instead of doing something interesting with your films, you use them to make hit piece videos on past champions.

You wanna play "Lets be a d*ck?"
Let me ask you something about your work.
Did you tell the families of the boxers whom you acquired footage from that the images of their loved ones would be stashed away in your basement never to see light of day again?

 

Because that's not what a highlight is.
A highlight is showing something the subject did right, or well.

Often, highlights are shown in between rounds of a bout, showing something as small as a landed jab, or a dodged punch. Those are highlights as well.

Seems like you just have an axe to grind.

 

Insert clapping emoji.

You said in the past that you've collected footage by going to families homes.
Did you not pay for the films, which you are now keeping stowed away for licensing purposes?

Why else would they not want to see their Uncle/Grandpa/Father boxing online, viewable at any time, anywhere?

 

Baer wasn't really cut out to be a truly dedicated boxer. He never fully committed to the sport.

 

Thank you.
That was a great breakdown.

 

Wasn't Farr robbed in one match vs. Braddock?

 

It wasn't necessarily a robbery. It was a close fight that could have gone the other way.

 

Fixed fights were a problem in the 1930's.

A few things to consider if the fight was fixed. No real proff here, just ponder this:

1 ) Baer hardly tired

2) Baer was a 10-to-1 favorite to win the fight. He also had 42% of the fight, Braddock just 15%. Research would be nice if there was late money on Braddock.

3) Referee Johnny McAvoy took three rounds from Baer—the fifth, ninth and 12th—for either low blows or backhanding. What better way to make sure you don't lose on points, and why the fouls with a guy who's open to be hit so easily? Baer could have landed legally if he was angry.

 

Sounds like the ref here helped Braddock out. The same ref took bear took 3 points away from Baer when he fought Braddock.

• Judge: [url]Charley Lynch[/url] 4-6

• Judge: [url]George LeCron[/url] 6-4

• It was a close fight but Braddock earned the victory as he began dancing around Farr and scoring with his jab in later rounds.

According to the Pittsburgh Press, amongst others, Farr won rounds 4 to 8 and only lost round 3 because of a call by the referee. Most objective observers felt the worst Farr deserved was a draw and that it was sentiment and a late rally that won the decision for Braddock.
