Russell Crowe sure did a great job in "Cinderella Man" in replicating Braddock. Watching the actual fight here is fantastic. Thanks for loading these old clips.

[@jsmall10671]

@wavygr Typical of every single biopic ever made. There always has to be a villain even if there wasn't one in real life.

[@jorgeanibal8834]

someday someone will say that about this thread.....

[@INKYINKYBABY]

Definitely! Also thought that the guy portraying Max Baer in the movie did a good job with Baer's mannerisms ie fight pose, putting his left hand on Braddock's head to set up for the right, and pulling up his own shorts

[@ballhawk387]

Braddock fought an incredibly skilled fight, consistently beating Baer to the punch, changing stances, getting inside. He had clearly studied Baer, knew what to do, and did it. Absolutely masterclass, and a deserving champion.

[@lamont111800]

Anyone else coming here from comparing the the movie Cinderella Man?

[@jordancrane8518]

Yepp

[@rappkim1]

I thought the fight scenes in the movie looked pretty accurate for a Hollywood version of this fight.

[@BBGSUSAMEDIA1]

me too.

[@cw6983]

I am right now..interesting that there was some exchange between Braddock's mgr and Baer during the instructions..albeit not as dramatic as in the movie

[@alinvid6098]

lamont111800 yeah me too, i also googled if Max baer killed 2 people in the ring and i found out that that's also true.

[@dirk7527]

Boxing fans are definitely the luckiest. You can watch FULL fights from 100 years ago! I can't even find full games of Wilt Chamberlain and that was like 1970, all you can find is random highlights. I even struggle to find games from the 80s. This fight was 1935 and you get to see it all it's amazing. You can even go back further and see Jack Johnson and his era! You can pretty much find almost every fight. God I wish the same was true for basketball.

[@joemomma7]

Dirk That's unless the fight goes to the judges. Then we just pray that the fighters and the fans don't get screwed.

[@timothycrombie3730]

Same with baseball. Earliest full games are from the 1952 world series.

[@rcjoker63]

I’m not surprised Baer lost ...he spent the whole fight adjusting his shorts

[@willnot3297]

Hahahahahaha... I thought the same thing. Maybe his underwear was creeping up his crack..lol

[@mowler8042]

Ya that's true I have thought about how difficult it must have been with clothing, imagine dealing with wool if you found it itchy or wearing clothes for weeks at a time because you just could not afford to wash them.

[@RalphSampson...]

Max Bear later became known as Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies.

[@mowler8042]

ralph sampson Huh! that is really weird

Prime example of when a cocky, underprepared champion doesn't take a more hungrier and well-prepared challenger seriously. Baer was completely outboxed & outclassed by the Cinderella Man. 👍🏼💪🏼

[@MaliVal]

if you came from the movie thinking baer is bad. Please don't. I love braddock too, but please baer is an absolutley kind hero.

[@williamoleschoolarendt7016]

Please stop spitting on Baer's grave. Cinderella Man was a movie. Fiction. Baer was a good man.

[@shanejoseph1700]

I’m not Jewish but I like how max had the star of David on his trunks during that time with what was going on in Germany an other parts of Europe

[@NickSerritella]

Baer was unprepared because he never recovered mentally from killing 2 guys in the ring. He started drinking heavily and didn't take train g seriously. Movie didn't get that part right

[@johngluck6938]

I didnt' think there was real footage from this fight!! awesome up load!

[@thethreespikes9737]

Accept that they unnecessary demonized a good man just for the sake making a movie. Max Bear was a really good human being. He lost because he was in depression because he had killed two men in ring prior to it and became a drunk after that filled with dispair paid bills of those families who got killed at his hands. He is a good human being. Its just that people died because of his game and he was that good

@Achilles 1776 It's not 'borrowed' money though. When you need it, you need it and it's normal public spending. People from the U.S. have a very hard time understanding this concept and seem to think it's noble to refuse it. It's not noble, it's stupid.

[@MrEgofreak]

Just like FDR said: "We should not measure welfare's success by how many people are on it, but by how many people leave it." I'm sure after this fight (and Braddock's actions) Franklin thought, "And how many people add to it too." But unlike books (forewords, afterwords etc), statements do not get addendums.

Braddock's jab set up everything. And his timing was perfect. Baer didn't seem comfortable the entire fight. Great to see these videos.

[@mazza4190]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@chadlpnemt]

I gotta wonder if Baer threw this fight. He is nowhere near as aggressive here as he was with Schmelling and Carnera. Maybe Baer knew that Braddock was the morale boost that society needed and maybe just showed up to fight. He did a lot of clowning around and tried to make it look good. He also seemed to underestimate Braddock just enough to where he thought he could knock him out later on, but it wasn't to be. Nothing against Braddock, but Baer just didn't look like he was in it.

[@maxfrudd7666]

Totally agree.....

[@vgr112261]

Throw the championship and the money with it away? No fix would be worth that. Nonsense.

[@johnbevan4684]

Braddock's left never missed during the whole fight - jabs, straight lefts, left hooks all found the target. He looked like the champion.

[@thomasfitzgerald1027]

After watching a few times I'm astonished to realize how little talent Max had. He needed a couple more years of amateur fights. He lacked most fundamentals.

[@ralphdupas6179]

Actually, he's very talented because he actually lacks basic boxing fundamentals but became a world boxing champion despite not being a boxer but a wrestler.

[@lizrader3989]

Just like most people online do, they jump to hasty conclusions and make their opinions known before doing any research on the matter. As with anything, it's important to learn history from all perspectives of those involved. By doing so, you are much more likely to be deemed as having any real knowledge of the topic.

[@timber750]

He had power in his punches, lots of energy, and could take a punch. But no argument about fundamentals. My view is he showed his best against Carnera, who was slow, a bit clumsy, and despite great height had less reach. Braddock was quick, game, and determined.

[@ascendediam]

I seen some odd comment saying how the 30s-40s were in black in white and at a lower fps that's why they look way less advanced and if they were in color with higher fps they would be more advanced Is that possible it can fix obsolete flaws and add better tech/fluid/timing/defense can adding color and higher fps manipulate footage so they would look as advanced as guys in 70s-90s?

The depiction of Max Baer is wrong though. He was a good man and you can see them embracing at the end of the fight. He paid the collage fees for the children of the men he killed in the ring and felt horrible because of it.

[@rappkim1]

Baer needed distance to leverage his right hand. Braddock didn't allow it instead moving under Baer's punches and bulling his way inside and putting his head under Baer's chin. Great, great fight.

Max Baer was never the same after he was responsible for inflicting the second death of an opponent. Even Braddock, commented Baer was "too nice" to be heavyweight champion. It happens to most boxers if they cause a death of a opponent.

[@MrEgofreak]

Well, I've just taken a real deep dive into the annals of boxing history with this fight. Even though Braddock was dominating Baer (I have Braddock 15-0; I know this happened 88 yrs ago, but hey, scoring boxing in your head is half the fun of watching it!), I would not wanna get hit by either fighter. Every punch, glancing or not, made me shiver in terror! Two warriors, both of them. One thing I will say though: Thank God for footwork in boxing! Makes it so much more fun to watch. If the sweet science stayed like this, I don't think it would have remained very sweet in the public eye!

[@davidwatkins5317]

If Baer had used as much effort throwing punches as he did pulling up his shorts he would have walked the fight!

[@dhinta84]

Without a doubt it was a glorious win for James Braddock, but while trying to glorify it even more the movie "Cinderella Man" failed to do proper justice with Max Baer. This video revealed that, not just Baer was a great boxer but a true example of Sportsmanship. He was only 26 yo but maturity level is just amazing. Hats Off.

[@kentishtowncowboy]

The commentator is John Rawlings, who is English, and the current commentator for Box Nation in the UK. He does it well. This is the first time I've seen the fight - having previously read of it - so thanks for posting. Max lost some of his ring spite after the Frankie Campbell fight and - likely - the beating he gave Earnie Schaap, who collapsed and died when fighting his next opponent, Primo Carnera.

[@bevanpope7924]

So a current commentator making it sound like he was there at the time. Thought so- his English is too “young”

These days the nod would have been given to Baer. No question. Much more honesty in the scoring in days of yore.

Yeah Max Baer was a great guy in real life, but he was also terrifying, he was big, muscular, had more power than anyones seen before and couldn't be knocked out.

[@mel3687]

lol it's not authentic.

[@MasterFatness]

He killed one man in the ring. Another man was knocked out by Baer and went on to collapse in his next fight after taking a few jabs. Apparently, Baer knocked both of their brains loose from the base of the skull. I don't know if that's actually possible, but that's what I've read. Of course he didn't plan on killing anyone. He had a real tough time after killing Frankie Campbell.

[@FineFlicks342]

My Uncle Bennie Gosney ran around with, fought with and was friends with Max Baer and used to tell us what a gentleman Max was and how devastated he was with these deaths. Uncle Bennie talked about how Baer took care of their families for many years afterward.
