When Joe Louis asked Lena Horne, with whom he was then having a relationship, to keep score for him at a Hollywood golf benefit, the singer refused -- she was entertaining troops that day. Joe hit her with a left hook. Then he started to choke her. In his 1978 autobiography, written with Edna and Art Rust Jr., Louis said that the only thing that saved Lena's life was an aunt in the next room who threatened to call the police

I guess at the beginning of this chapter Louis is about 22 years old and weighing 190lbs-195lbs and at the beginnig of his pro career,even at this age you can see the dedication to his puching tecnique, anyone learing how to throw a KO puch study Louis and if you have the genetics and the tecnique you are among the very blessed few.
what the IRS did to louis was one of the saddest things ive ever seen. If he was part of the political class he would have gotten off scott free... damn shame
