Schmeling is really great, very underrated! Quick, technical, creative and with good power. The best of the 30's after Louis. And Sharkey is not bad at all too, tough, not slow for his build, has good stance and his jab reminds me of Sonny Liston a little. Threatening uppercut also.
Yeah that Low Blow Sharkey use against Scheming was a cheat you call that Boxing I know Schemling would knocked Jack Sharkey with his best punches I Love this my favorite classic old fights I watch is Primo Carnera vs. Sharkey, Jack Dempsey vs. Jack Sharkey and this one right here Jack Sharkey vs. Max Schemling I Love Boxing one of my favorite hand to hand combat of sports in history with amazing boxers 🥊 🥊 .
I agree. And I am a Jack Sharkey fan! Schmeling's movement was a problem for Sharkey who was a pretty good boxer in his own right. As I watched this fight, I began to wonder how Schemling would have down in a fight with Gene Tunney
The aftermath of this fight yielded one of the greatest quotes in Sports history. Being interviewed for radio after the fight, Schmeling’s manager Joe Jacobs expressed his disgust with the decision thusly: “We wuz robbed!”
In my opinion, Schmeling is leaner and in better shape. He continues to press the fight. Someone has told Sharkey to push with his left jab. The result is poor. Sharkey looks softer of the two men. Schmeling seems faster and the more deserving fighter--not Jack Sharkey. Fight decided by $$$, not athletics.
OK, my two cents. I'm forty-seven years of age. I've seen a helluva lot of fights. Seen some bad decisions, as well as some awful ones. This qualifies as one of the worst. What I witnessed was a dominating performance by a clearly superior fighter. Schmelling won. Forget about it.
First off I want to comment (like everyone else) on some of the most bias commentary I have ever seen. I've heard this same commentator on a few other old fights, and it's completely bias. I thought Schmeling did enough to win the fight by a fairly comfortable margin. Scoring this fight is tricky because not only is Round 5 missing, but all of the rounds have been shortened. Scoring on the 10-point must system, I scored the fight 135-131 for Schmeling (because of the missing round, so you can do the math).
But once again on the bias commentating. Round 7 or 8 he stated that Max was "well ahead," and that it was "hard to give a round to Sharkey." After round 7 I had Sharkey leading 58-56. It was a fairly bad decision, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it the worst decision I've ever seen, or even one of the worst. I had rounds 2,3,8-13, and 15 going to Schmeling, and rounds 1,4,6,7,and 14 going to Sharkey, and round 5 was missing from the footage. I had rounds 1,3,4,7,8,12,and 14 marked as "close", so if the right rounds swum the other way, I could have Sharkey pulling out a close decision win.
corytclark Bias of the time, i wouldn't be surprised if Schmeling was a bigger draw in that time. Example was Maidana vs Mayweather 1. I had Maidana sodidly winning 5 rounds, Mayweather easily took 4. The other 3 i don't have any1 winning in particular but idk how they gave them to Floyd. Floyd would connect on Maidanas gloves which makes a noise, and commentators would go ape shit. Better to watch a fight in mute IMO since you can't hear the fighters most time you just hear commentators who don't know shit and the bias crowd.
The referee was Ed "Gunboat" Smith, a major heavyweight contender prior to WW1. Both he and Sharkey served in the US Navy, though at different times. General opinion at the time was while it was a close fight, Schmeling did enough to retain the title.
I believe Schmeling could have won this fight he one of the best boxing legends of all time I Love Boxing one of my favorite sports I only Love and like seeing this classic fights are so legendary Max Schemling a real champion of boxing along with Jack Dempsey.
Sharkey would've beaten Gene Tunney, but Tunney ducked him. Sharkey was beating Dempsey until he made the fatal flaw of taking his eyes off Dempsey, allowing Dempsey to drop him with a left hook.
WOW, MS was robbed, a home town call. Or home country call,lol. After watching more and more of MS's fights you have to appreciate just how slick he was. Slipping punches, setting up his own shots. And in this fight, to me it looks like he out-slicked JS. It was a very close fight, MS should have done more, however JS clearly did not win decisively. In other words he did not take the title from the champ.
The commentating on this is horrible. No-one scored this a shutout for Schmeling. Based on the fight highlights and the newspaper accounts Schmeling should've gotten the decision, but it was a close fight with lots of close rounds. One can see from the film that in many rounds Jack threw more and landed more but they were mostly jabs, whereas Max was the aggressor and landed the harder shots.
Commentator is a total idiot,as somebody already noticed many rounds are shortened and some are missing,so much about clear picture.But anyway based on what we can see here, commentator creates impression that Schmeling is almost destroying Sharkey with those invisible punches ! Unbelievable comments ! The fight was very close and neither of them had significant initiative or landed some big punches.Sharkey was totally unaffected,so was Schmeling.And that was it.
Unbelievable!! Biggest robbery in boxing history!!
Thanks for the video

Very accurate analysis of both great fighters! Thanks from Germany!
Talk about a fix. Schmeling won the fight.

Sharkey admitted that this fight was a fix.
The New York mafia would never let a foreigner win the title.
Schmeling was completely robbed
Schmeling was defending the title here....
@@_friedie He defends his title, but was robbed by the mob!

Yes but i heard this was payback because a little before this bout Schmeling won a decision against Sharkey and many thought that that was a robery
Robinson Ray
It was two years before and it was no robery but a disqualification of Sharkey after a clear foul (low punch).

One of the worst decisions,ever.
He is my grandfather's cousin from Lithuania

B,S.
I NEVER NEW MS WAS THAT GOOD OFFENCE DEFENCE AND FOOT WORK AND ALWAYS THINKING AND LOOKED IN SUPERB CONDITION
ref is gunboat smith ex heavyweight and a friend of jack sharkey
I believe Schmeling could have won this fight he one of the best boxing legends of all time I Love Boxing one of my favorite sports I only Love and like seeing this classic fights are so legendary Max Schemling a real champion of boxing along with Jack Dempsey.

Yeah , close fight. That limey announcer needs to take a dunk in the Thames .

Madison Square Garden Bowl was bad luck for defending champions. Schmeling would've had to knockout Sharkey to get a draw.
They both became over 90! Schmeling 99 Sharkey 91 They could have fighted against 1994 😅
American justice. Foghorn Humphries didn't bother to read the results.
The commentary is terrible and the decision was appalling.
Sharkey seine linke Gesichtshälfte war geschwollen, sieht so ein Sieger aus?
LITHUANIA!!! Juozas Žukauskas!!!!

sharkey looked spent and glad when the final bell rang.maybe a make up call from the first bout.
Biggest fix until Louis v. Walcott I, or Leonard v. Hearns II.
THE RESULT WAS AND IS,,,HORSESHIT...
what a bore, love the way the announcer who fully knows MS was robbed while he was calling it overwhelmingly was calling it for MS
Worst decision I've ever seen!
...WTF.
Ummm...yeah, that was complete BS.
Schmelling won that handedly.
The Judges should be ashamed of them selves.
Max won this comfortably but he did lack a left hook otherwise who knows!!!

Schmeling won though. He landed consistently and controlled the ring. Perhaps 3 rounds could swing either way but the decision was egregious.
German vs Jew .
