Date: 1942-03-27
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
Referee: Eddie Joseph
World Heavyweight Championship (21st defense by Louis)
Simon bumped to No. 4 spot in the NBA rankings after his first encounter with Louis. He remained Top 10 contender since, despite scoring only two victories against Pete Tamalonis and James D. Turner, neither of whom were ranked by either NBA or The Ring magazine.
Bout official on February 25.
Louis was a 15-1 betting favorite.
There was a crowd of 18,220.
The gross gate was $132,420, and the net was $114,705.
The fight raised $64,980.02 for the Army Emergency Relief Fund. Louis donated his entire purse of $36,146. Promoter Mike Jacobs and Madison Square Garden contributed $25,131.85, and Simon gave $3,012.17.
Simon was floored late in rounds two and five, and he was saved by the bell each time. Simon was dropped again early in the sixth round and counted out by referee Eddie Joseph. Simon protested the stoppage, insisting he was up at the count of nine.
This was Louis' first professional fight without trainer Jack Blackburn, who was hospitalized in Chicago. Blackburn would die the following month.
Due to his Army service during World War II, Louis wouldn't defend his title again for four years and three months. - กีฬา

Joe Louis donated more than one purse to war effort relief funds. Nonetheless he was crucified by the shameless IRS. A great man treated so badly it should make you weep.
I agree. A heartless IRS and he could've been forgiven of the debt by any of the sitting Presidents. Sinatra got Louis the job as a greeter at the Sands.
It just comes to show that the government don't care about us,they don't care about our freedom they only care about their own freedom and money.I like Joe Louis,he was a great fighter and a great soldier and one thing about Joe Louis,that makes him a great person and an American,he said during WW2 in his military uniform,that we're gonna win cuz we're on God's side,and I believe that's one of the reasons they were heartless towards that great warrior of a man,the IRS,and the leadership!!!!
The problem was they could not allow leniency due to the fact they would have to give everybody that due then. With the amount of money Joe made he never should have had issues.
Brasil - 29.03.2024 - Não sei se é verdade, mas assisti um documentário no qual narrava que um ex campeão alemão que havia sido derrotado pelo Joe Louis e posteriormente se tornado um empresário bem sucedido após largar o boxe deu uma ajuda financeira permanente ao Joe. Os dois teriam se tornados amigos despois de velhos.
I was going to mention that, an absolutely shameful act by the scumbags at the IRS
Louis' punching technique and form is beautiful. And so efficient.
A very high quality recording! And what a punishment from Louis! I was hurt here on my chair... But Simon's head was made of very hard stuff.
He HAD to have suffered brain damage (right?). I mean he just got beaten from pillar to post.
I can't believe the punishment that was administered to Joe's fists.
TO his fists???? JFC!!!
Joe Louis was pure class. Notice he didn’t waste punches when he threw them? Great boxing form. My pick for greatest heavyweight champ
He is definitely up there
It is hard to pick #1 but definitely in the running. Joe never lost his composure. A very articulate fighter. If his opponent made a mistake by leaving an opening, Joe was right there to send a fist in.
I never knew that Louis fought Abe Lincoln. I hope Louis doesn't hit him in his head wound
He had no foot work. Ali would have made him look foolish. Marciano knocked him out of the ring
He probably was the best boxer as far as Heavyweights go to that point. As far as Marciano beating him, yes, he was older, but different than Ali, he was Always punchable. Most fighters connected with where Ali used to be, in his prime. This is why I've always believed Marciano, who showed up for Every fight conditioned to throw 200punches a round for 20rounds, stood a good chance of defeating Louis at any point in his career. If you listen to Ali interviewed at various points, he saw the same thing I'm talking about. People talk about Ali beating a monster like Liston. Which he did through mentally frustrating him and running him out of gas. If you're dealing with a destruction machine you can't mentally frustrate, who's got a longer range gas tank than you do, it's a unique problem.
Simon did some acting later. He was one of John Friendly's thugs in On The Waterfront. He had HUGE hands!
So was tony Galento
Yeah, I'd hate to have one of those fists against my head!
He was a HUGE man!
Tami Mauriello and Lee Oma were also in the film and both fought Louis
Of course he was.
Look how clean cut it is, THE QUALITY! 🔥
Louis wasn't a dancer but his footwork in close was impeccable.
Abe Simon the Jewish giant, what a tough man to withstand that onslaught from one of the hardest punchers ever for as long as he did. Total respect for the challengers heart, and the power and accuracy of Louis punches.
Very Tough Man Abe 👊
Я таки знал: шо не Саймон ,а Шимон !!! Таки не удивлюсь шо у него были родственники в Одессе !!?
Joe Louis.....he is one of those people who have a superior and timeless character.
Its crazy how good they look once upscaled. Louis is masterful all those little movements and feints
Some one tell Dr Frankenstein that we found Igor
The sound is off by about 22 seconds. You’ll notice Simon goes down @2:12 but the announcer doesn’t call it until 2:36. It’d be nice if that were properly synched.
Big Joe is still the best combination puncher among the heavyweights, ever.
His left hook was beautiful and he rarely wasted punches
Thanx for the upload, never saw this fight before, never heared of Abe Simon. He has an unbelievable HULK Look...
Голиаф !!! Опять получил
Joe is so much faster than Simon. Quite a size and weight difference. But Simon was a tough SOB, being able to stand thru some hellish barrages.
Usually the bigger you are the slower you are. That's why when I hear this nonsense about the guys from the 70's not being "real" heavyweights I gotta laugh. I see these big muscle bound guys today plodding around firing head shots at each other with no defense and I don't think Ali, or Rocky or even floyd, would have any trouble with the alphabet soup crowd.
"Size" means nothing!
@@josephshields2922 Taller means nothing . But they forget Joe Louis beat a lot of giants.
@@FormerIFBBJudge my girlfriend keeps telling me that it does.
@@FormerIFBBJudgewell; Joe was 6’2” and you don’t see any 5’2” heavyweights so height must mean something…
The Brown Bomber is right! Look at those punches
Accurate pin point striking by Joe! Quick and powerful as well! Wow! Nice footage.
Abe "heavy bag" Simon... The man had guts !!!
Man, I hate to think about that guy later in life. He absorbed way too much punishment.
Simon confessed that he never felt any pain. He was a freak.
Yeah simon surprisingly was fine. Itnshocked me too. But look at his build. Hes built like a transport truck. Hes the same height as francis ngannou but twice as wide
@@jonbathurst953 Simon was about 2 inches shorter than Francis. Much tougher though.
In an article for a magazine years later Simon said he suffered from chronic headaches his entire life. He blamed it on the horrific punches he took from Louis.
Joe Lewis was just class he could of fought in any era
You are seeing a preview here of what he would do to Mr Fury.
It's spelled "Joe Louis". 🥊
There was a KickBoxer/Karate Practitioner named "Joe Lewis". 🥋
Joe Louis Joe Lewis was a karate champion
@@josephshields2922Abe Simon isn’t fury pal FURY IS SMART FAST AND WOULD HAVE KOED THEM BOTH
@@scottmalcolm Fury was almost taken out by a 0-1 Novice. His best win is a 40 year old Klitscko and it wasnt even by knockout.
Louis would utterly destroy him and Simon would definitely go the distance. Fury does not hit hard enough to KO Abe.
Please synch the sound. Thanks for this classic video!
Abe swallowed more punches than Jake la Motta did against Sugar Ray Robinson. How could someone have those physics to survive this??
"Abe Simon" had a big thick Chunky Head, and obviously also, Big thick jaw muscles. He beat the count but the ref couldn't stand seeing the brutality any longer, thus prompting him to wave it off.
Left his brain in his locker.
Abe revealed later on that he couldn't feel pain. That could explain how he was able to push through punches that should have left him writhing on the ground.
@@Pedro_Le_Chef" Captain Kirk, I am not programmed to feel pain!"
The guy had basically no defense except his face but he could take Lots of shit that's for sure!!!!
Boy our government screwed Joe Louis so badly over taxes
Excellent upload thank you
He donates his purses to the USA then they do him for tax evasion 😮😮😮how nice
Hate to run in to Simon on the street in a bad mood, what a beast!
Why not Joe Louis on the street? Simon was just big and goofy.
@@FormerIFBBJudge"Abe Simon" was probably better at wrestling than he was at boxing.
I think those millenials who are always yapping about the old heavyweights being too small to compete today, should check out this video. Abe was 255 lbs of solid muscle. There were plenty of big guys around in those days but agility and ability mean more than size. Some of the best Champs were small in stature like Marciano at 5' 11". I never saw Louis moving so fast. Is the video sped up or is this just a quick paced fight?
I don't know, but maybe Joe looks faster than normal because he was that much faster than Simon.
Marciano was really about 5'9 listed at 5'10. Height means nothing.
Just a better quality of film. The films back then only played at 18 frames per second compared to 60 fps today. This film is actually showing Joe's true speed. Imagine seeing him with today's technology! It would be almost unbelievable.
@@FormerIFBBJudgeit helps.
of course Joe Louis would DESTROY and dominate the entire division today
Man this dude can take a BEATING! Looks like Joe is just toying with him, picking his punches and landing at will. Thanks for posting this beauty.....really good stuff. ❤
Joe Louis es uno de los tres mas grandes campeones de todos los tiempos no paraba de asestar golpes de poder precisos y certeros por eso lo apodaban acertadamente "El bombardero de Detroid".
Wow thanks this is the first time seeing this thanks
Simon had a good strategy, doubling and trippling up on the jab and coming forward and throwing body shots when he got close. He just wasn't quick enough to be Louis' match. I don't know what he could've done differently that would've changed things.
You get it. There was nothing Simon could have done that would make him look good next to Louis.
Never saw anyone against ioe take the heavy blows as much as abe did what a concrete jaw !
Louis era certero, veloz de manos y noqueador habia que aguantarlo, un gran campeón.
Abe had an incredible chin. Joe had astonishing precision.
Joe Louis increíble, uno de los más grandes.💪✌️👍👍👍
Louis was the greatest HW of all time. If WW2 never happened it wouldn’t have ever been disputed
Look at how impossible it is to tie Louis up. He was a master at breaking a clinch
Abe Simon got wiped out. He could take a punch but not a couple dozen of them right on the chin.
Big Abe should have been a wrestler!
Definitely..!! He looked like a natural grappler.
This is brilliant
Superb.
Never heard of Simon but he must have taken 50 perfect shots
Great accuracy and power from Louis
Never knew simon was such a lump. Some interesting details from wiki about him: He was a star lineman on his high school football team and was an interscholastic shot-put champion before taking up boxing. Was trained by Freddie Brown, who went on to train Marciano and later Larry Holmes and Roberto Duran. While pursuing his boxing career in his 20s he worked as a police patrolman in Long Beach, and after this loss to Louis was appointed Deputy Police Commissioner (1942). From 1947 to 1956 he had a successful part-time career as a boxing referee. He began working as a detective at Roosevelt Raceway in 1957, and after suffering from arthritis, switched to Public Relations around 1966 before his death from a heart attack three years later, aged just 56. He also had acting experience, appearing in several films including On the Waterfront and Requiem for a Heavyweight.
Interesting facts
Abe was built like a statue but he moved like one too.
I got Joe Louis' autograph at Northgate Mall in Seattle in 1956 when I was ten.
Simon kept his right down so low I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did .
They were rocks? Today 3 punches like that IS a mortal nock out.
That man was huge!!!
Unbelievable he could take those punches and keep on coming
Abe claimed he could not feel pain.
Simon's strategy seemed to be blocking Lewis' punches with his face.
"Cover your face Ralph" 😂😂😂😂
Joe Louis took no money in this million dollar fight. In later years the IRS demanded thousands of dollars from Louis for undeclared taxes. Shameful!
Joe Louis is Mohamed Ali with a punch.
The greatest heavyweight of all time. It was rare to even last the distance against him.
255lbs was massive for a heavyweight in that era.
damn Abe was a giant of a man, he looks like hes part neandertal
What a chin Simon, had!
This guy was the original Bear Jew. Scary big but Louis wasn’t intimidated.
Gave away 50 lbs to Simon who also had a strong jaw and still won.
This was more or less an exhibition fight. I think the big guy was supposed to go down in the 3rd but somebody forgot to tell him or he forgot to listen. Joe was throwing haymakers from the opening bell! Simon was one tough dude!
Las respuestas de este hombre son siempre teóricas, abstractas y carentes de bases concretas.
Sadly the audio commentary does not match the video
Joe louis was precise and effecient throwing his punches againts helpless giant.
Very good video quality, but the crowd noise sound sync is obviously off the mark.
Damn Simon was a big dude
Joe is the class in that ring.
I wonder what kind of wrestler Abe would of made his back and rib cage are freakishly broad 🤔
"...the gallant Abe." Wow! Louis's combinations. So accurate!. The fight should've been stopped sooner.
Big man had a great chin
Wow I am watching this 2024 Easter morning 6:15 am
They always get angry with the Ref for stopping a fight when the other guy was beating the hell out of them.
In those days if they weren't carried out it wasn't a true k.o.😬
Beatiful boxing. Shameful to have been treated like that.
That Simon sure could take a punch. All neck and shoulders. His head hardly moved, even when he was hit cleanly.
It looked like Abe had no fighting experience. He never used his right hand.
I don't see how Joe ever lost a fight.
Got too old.
Increible q manera de encajar la de abe impresionamte
Damn simon was big, his ribcage looks cartoonish
Abe and two tonne Tony were in " on the water front"
Did Abe know that there's this thing called guarding, as well as bobbing and weaving? Idea is to hit and not BE hit, Abe.
I don't know who's scarier; Lewis or Simon.
Simon is a big, hulking guy. He seemed to be able to take a punch but his own punches weren't anything to brag about. Maybe that is due to his being too busy using his gloves in efforts to defend.
Один из лучших воксерев 30/40годах
Woah, look how HUGE he is...
🐐
Abe assolutamente incapace d'attaccare , non ha portato un pugno che sia uno in grado anche solo d'incuriosire Louis . Credo che questo sia uno dei tre incontri più "taroccati" degli ultimi 100 anni.
Abe Simon was a big fella!
Wow, I can't believe anybody could take that many punches from Joe Louis! It's not like he was a light hitter.
Abe made for a good and very big punching bag.
Man, Joe is pretty much hitting him in the face at will.
48 Pound weight difference
Phew!! Masterclass giant toppling . Mike Tyson may be more effective?? Joe fantastico man abe gutsy
5:33 Thats a big guy, Joe uses his left hand to hold him up to set up the punch. Yep, right there hold still. Goodnight!
Abe might’ve had half a chance if he used his right hand as well.
TAMANHO NÃO É DOCUMENTO. O FORTÃO TOMOU UM PAU DO MAGRINHO, INCRÍVEL. POR MOMENTO ATÉ OENSEI NO FINAL QUE O FORTÃO PODERIA LEVAR A MELHOR.
😊la forza bruta contro la tecnica di joe Louis.
JESUS..... o lutador grandao nao é boxeador, e sim um saco de pancada
見事な怪物退治👍
テクニックの秀逸さ👍
