:18:01
Six rounder.
:18:02
Some might recall
that Braddock was once...
:18:04
a light heavyweight
title challenger.
:18:06
His golden-boy peak ended
when Tommy Loughran...
:18:09
handled Jim over 15 rounds
back in '29.
:18:13
Since then,
the oft-injured Braddock...
:18:15
has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise.
:18:18
And the losses have started
to pile up.
:18:20
But Braddock continues
to battle.
:18:24
And here comes
the popular Abe Feldman.
:18:26
Feldman looks to be
the real thing...
:18:28
and showed some real moxie in his recent win
over Hans Birkie.
:18:35
Hey, who whipped Latzo?
:18:38
I did.
Goddamn right.
:18:40
Who KO'ed Slattery
in the ninth...
:18:42
when everybody said he didn't
have a rainmaker's chance in hell?
:18:45
That'd have to be me, too.
Right.
:18:47
And we're supposed to pucker our
assholes over this Abe Feldman?
:18:50
The guy couldn't break wind.
No.
:18:52
Hey, Jimmy.
:18:55
Anyplace else you'd rather be?
:18:57
No.
Good.
:18:59
Now, what are you
gonna do about it?
:19:02
Here we are halfway
through the fifth
:19:04
And it's more of the same.
:19:06
The boys clinch again.
:19:07
Break it up.
:19:08
He's crushing my guy. Get him off!
:19:10
Break!
:19:13
The boo-birds
have started flying here.
:19:15
They want action
from these fighters.
:19:17
Feldman sticks a left
in Braddock's face.
:19:19
Braddock's right hand
is his best and only weapon.
:19:22
He'll show the left, but it lacks snap
and Feldman knows it.
:19:24
Come on, give these yokels
a shot in the ass!
:19:27
Feldman ducks a haymaker
but fails to follow up.
:19:38
And another big right
by Braddock.
:19:40
Now, there's the Braddock
we all recall.
:19:42
But it's one at a time.
It may not be enough.
:19:46
Come on!
