What a difference from the movie version of this fight..Proof that Max Baer was not the villiian that they portraited him as......

[lashawn smith]

this was the time when boxing was the center sport of the world now boxing is on life support

But later he wore it on every match,to show support to jews or something like that. Who knows. + the one at top left seems also connected to Max because of that M,and it doesnt look like it was put there over the original,but its part of original picture.

Mhm,could be. But I read somewhere that it was just some rebelious act against competitor from nazi Germany.

Baer seems to me like he lacked a ton of technique but from what is see and from watching the movie he did have power! Power that could kill people

If you mean the one at the top of the screen I assume it means the person who owns this channel is Jewish. If you mean the one on Max Baer's trunks, there is some dispute about it. He wore it in his win in 1933 against the German (but not Nazi) Max Schmelling to "show his Jewish pride" although there is some dispute as to whether he was Jewish. His father was a "non-practicing Jew" and his mother was Roman Catholic. Some people claimed the Star of David on his trunks was a publicity stunt.

What a pussy baer is from running away from the punches

[Vernon Willis]

Yeah, Max was a clown at heart. I mean, how bad a guy could Jethro Bodine's father be. He kept his sense of humor right to the end. Dying in a hotel room he called the front desk to report that he was in distress. Asked if he wanted the house doctor, he replied "No. I need a people doctor."

Braddock sure liked to head butt. Not very gentlemanly...

[TheDeadEnemy]

You can see Baer taunting Braddock throughout the clip, but yes there were many major differences in the movie

[quiconjinn]

Baer had no idea how much of a beating Braddock could take and dish out
