LOUIS, JOE-MAX BAER WIRE PHOTO (1935-END OF FIGHT)

On September 24, 1935, heavyweights Joe Louis and Max Baer entered the ring with their careers going in opposite directions. Louis, undefeated, was a rising star in the division. Baer, the former heavyweight champion, was trying to rebound from his stunning loss to Jimmy Braddock a few months earlier. Louis demolished the former champ and knocked him out in the 4th round. Offered here is a dramatic, original, wire photo which depicts referee Arthur Donovan assisting a still dazed Max Baer to his corner as former world heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey congratulates the victorious Joe Louis.
