00:16:30 [Grunting]
00:16:32 [Men chattering]
00:16:37 (Joe)
00:16:40 Just plants himself there.
00:16:42 So you just keep him steady.
00:16:44 Keep him trapped in the middle.
00:16:49 You know what to do.
00:16:53 That guy's a bum.
00:16:57 [Sighing]
00:17:00 Two bits will
00:17:03 And that guy gets to watch
00:17:07 And I know I gotta take it from

00:17:14 Well, well, well.
00:17:17 Pardon me, miss. Allow
00:17:23 Mr. Abraham Feldman
00:17:26 whose ass you should

00:17:33 That is, if it doesn't offend

00:17:39 [Moans]
00:17:50 Now, you see, that break's
00:17:53 I know.

00:18:32 (announcer)
00:18:33 with his long-time manager,
00:18:36 (man)
00:18:38 (announcer)
00:18:39 (Joe)
00:18:41 Jersey veteran
00:18:42 is up against Hymie Caplin's
00:18:44 young Abe Feldman
00:18:47 (Joe)
00:18:48 (announcer) Some might recall
00:18:50 a light heavyweight
00:18:53 His golden-boy peak ended
00:18:56 handled Jim over 15 rounds
00:19:00 Since then,
00:19:02 has shown only a glimmer
00:19:05 And the losses have started
00:19:07 But Braddock continues
00:19:11 And here comes
00:19:14 Feldman looks to be
00:19:16 and showed some real moxie in his recent win
00:19:20 [People screaming]
00:19:23 Hey, who whipped Latzo?
00:19:26 I did.
00:19:28 Who KO'ed Slattery
00:19:30 when everybody said he didn't
00:19:33 That'd have to be me, too.
00:19:35 And we're supposed to pucker our
00:19:38 The guy couldn't break wind.
00:19:40 Hey, Jimmy.
00:19:43 Anyplace else you'd rather be?
00:19:46 No.
00:19:47 Now, what are you
00:19:51 (announcer) Here we are halfway
00:19:53 [men screaming]
00:19:55 The boys clinch again.
00:19:56 Break it up.
00:19:58 (Joe) He's crushing my guy. Get him off!
00:20:00 [Crowd booing]
00:20:02 (announcer) The boo-birds
00:20:04 They want action
00:20:06 Feldman sticks a left
00:20:08 Braddock's right hand
00:20:11 He'll show the left, but it lacks snap
00:20:14 Come on, give these yokels
00:20:17 Feldman ducks a haymaker
00:20:21 [Booing]
00:20:25 [Men chattering]
00:20:28 (announcer) And another big right
00:20:30 Now, there's the Braddock
00:20:32 But it's one at a time.
00:20:36 Come on!
00:20:56 [Men screaming]
00:21:03 [Bell ringing]
00:21:05 (announcer) The referee pulls
00:21:07 And there's the bell
00:21:09 (Joe)
00:21:13 I saw that.
00:21:17 I'm calling it, Jim.
00:21:23 You gonna use the left?
00:21:25 You get in there but you
00:21:27 You work his belly, you
00:21:30 Last round. Come on,
00:21:32 Give me a good one. You're
00:21:34 Shut up.
00:21:35 Work his belly with the left.
00:21:38 Give him the flapdoodle with
00:21:41 Right?
00:21:43 Okay? Last round.
00:21:45 Last round! Go get him!
00:21:47 (Joe)
00:21:49 [Crowd screaming]
00:21:51 Damn it, I wish he could find
00:21:54 (Joe)
00:21:57 Southpaw, that's it!
00:21:58 (announcer) Feldman prancing around,
00:22:01 but still few clean punches
00:22:04 Braddock still pawing away
00:22:07 Another ineffectual left
00:22:09 Braddock can hardly lift his arms.
00:22:13 At least Gould in his corner
00:22:16 trying to urge his man on.
00:22:18 [Crowd screaming]
00:22:21 [Yelling]
00:22:24 [Crowd booing]
00:22:28 (man)
00:22:31 No holding, Braddock!
00:22:32 (announcer) Cavanaugh's working harder
00:22:36 Dry up!
00:22:40 (announcer)
00:22:41 It's as if 80 tough fights have finally jumped
00:22:46 You're a bum!
00:22:54 That's it!
00:22:55 Cavanaugh pulls them apart,
00:22:57 He's called the fight.
00:22:59 It's a "no contest. "
00:23:01 And the popcorn and the peanuts
00:23:05 And I'm afraid to say that's all these
00:23:08 for the show
00:23:10 [Crowd booing]
00:23:12 I'm telling you, it's sad to see
00:23:16 the caliber of James Braddock
00:23:19 It's all right, Jimmy.
00:23:23 An embarrassment,
00:23:24 An embarrassment!
00:23:26 Where the hell's the purse?
00:23:27 You wouldn't have
00:23:29 if you gave a shit
00:23:31 Okay. He's fighting hurt.
00:23:35 Maybe you got a bunch of fat
00:23:37 can afford to rest a month between
00:23:41 Christ, he hardly gets
00:23:43 Fights being stopped by
00:23:47 (Johnston) Fights like
00:23:53 We're revoking his license,
00:23:56 Whatever Braddock was gonna do
00:24:00 Wait a minute.
00:24:08 [Whispering]
00:24:15 Mr. Johnston!
00:24:19 (Johnston)
00:24:21 What's going on?
00:24:23 You didn't tell him?
00:24:26 He wanted to
00:24:27 Come on, Mr. Johnston,
00:24:30 I broke my hand.
00:24:33 You don't see me
00:24:35 I don't see what you got
00:24:37 I still went out there, I still put
00:24:42 You know, we did that
00:24:44 me and Joe. Remember?
00:24:47 I didn't quit on you.
00:24:53 I didn't always lose.
00:24:54 I won't always lose again.
00:24:57 I can still fight.
00:24:59 I can still fight. Go home
00:25:04 Go home? Go home with what?
00:25:07 Go home with what? A broken
00:25:14 Mr. Johnston!
00:25:34 [Door opening]
00:25:50 Baby?
00:26:00 What happened?
00:26:02 I didn't get the dough.
00:26:05 They didn't pay up.
00:26:09 They called it a "no contest,"
00:26:14 They decommissioned me.
00:26:20 Jimmy,
00:26:21 It's broke again
00:26:25 (Braddock)
00:26:26 They said
00:26:29 Mercy.
00:26:35 Okay.
00:26:42 Jimmy, if you can't work...
00:26:44 we're not gonna be able to pay
00:26:52 And we're out of credit
00:26:58 So I think we need
00:27:01 They could stay at my sister's
00:27:04 and I'll take in more sewing.
00:27:07 That way we could make
00:27:08 I'll get doubles, triples,
00:27:10 Jimmy, you can't work.
00:27:12 Jimmy, you can't work.
00:27:17 They see me
00:27:19 you're right,
00:27:20 Not down the docks,
00:27:24 So we're gonna cover it up...
00:27:25 with the shoe polish.
00:27:29 Okay?
00:27:57 I'm sorry.
00:28:06 No.
00:28:14 [Sighing]
00:28:18 No.

00:28:56 Four.
00:29:00 Five. That's it!
00:29:03 [Ship's horn blowing]
00:29:11 [Men chattering]
00:29:17 (Mike) What the hell
00:29:20 I got in a fight.
00:29:22 What'd you go do that for?
00:29:25 That's a good question.
00:29:27 Mike Wilson.
00:29:30 Jim Braddock.
00:29:31 I used to follow a pretty good
00:29:37 And there's some other guy
00:29:40 Can't fight for shit.
00:29:42 Gambling man will lose
00:29:49 [Braddock moaning]
00:29:53 (Mike)
00:29:55 You can't slow me down.
00:29:58 I need the job, too.
00:30:00 [Whistle blowing]
00:30:09 What's wrong with

00:31:38 FDR, Hoover,

00:31:43 And between the mortgage and the
00:31:46 that was supposed
00:31:48 it stopped being mine.
00:31:51 It all stopped being mine.
00:31:53 FDR ain't given me
00:32:02 Mama, why can't I
00:32:05 Is it because I'm a girl?
00:32:07 (Mae) Maybe. Hadn't thought of that.
00:32:15 Who's that man
00:32:20 (Mae)
00:32:24 Can I help you?

01:15:23 There you go.
01:15:28 Braddock slides to his right,
01:15:41 John, get off the ropes.
01:15:43 (Bond) Lewis spins his way
01:15:45 [bell rings] And looks to resume control
01:15:51 There we go. Suck it up.
01:15:54 Deep breath, deep.

01:15:59 Yeah. He's fast. Big deal.
01:16:01 What are you doing? You

01:16:07 Keep that jab in his face
01:16:09 You see that.
01:16:11 Cut him off, all right?
01:16:12 And let go with the punches.
01:16:15 I guarantee you, the more
01:16:18 the slower he's gonna get.
01:16:19 He's an old man. He's too
01:16:22 Come on. Use that jab.
01:16:24 He's all right.
01:16:25 Knock the legs out
01:16:26 Trap him in the corner,

00:01:06 Why is he still
00:01:09 You're stronger than this guy.
00:01:13 This guy is a bull-rusher.

00:18:44 Oh, brother.
00:18:47 Excuse me.
00:18:50 I'm not quite finished yet.
00:18:53 (Braddock)
00:18:55 You know what?
00:18:58 Johnston. He's a big spender.
00:19:01 (Lucille) Yeah. He's a real peach.
00:19:03 Gotta love the guy.
00:19:05 Look at this.
00:19:07 I know it is.
00:19:11 Jimmy.
00:19:32 (Joe)
00:19:35 You think Johnston set that

00:20:29 I'm asking you sincerely
00:20:33 Now, you seem like a decent
00:20:36 I really don't
00:20:38 [Snickers]
00:20:39 It's no joke, pal.
00:20:42 People die in fairy tales

00:20:46 (man #2)
00:20:47 There you go. Take it easy. Just smile.
00:20:49 One more!

00:20:54 Circus act's over, old man.
00:20:56 [Baer laughing]
00:20:59 Right here, Max.
00:21:01 I think I'll go a few rounds
00:21:04 Yeah, there you go.

00:21:17 You ought to talk to him, Mae.
00:21:19 You are far too pretty
00:21:23 That's not nice, Max.
00:21:25 On second thought, maybe I can
00:21:28 Hey, I said shut your

00:21:37 Sorry.
00:21:41 Get that, boys?
00:21:43 Now he's got his wife
00:21:49 Yeah. Ain't she something?
00:21:52 [All laughing]
00:21:56 All right. Get me a drink.
00:22:07 [Braddock grunting]
00:22:09 (Braddock) All right.
00:22:11 Pop, pop, bang. Come on.
00:22:16 Yeah.
00:22:17 Oh, that's good.
00:22:19 Keep your thumbs tucked in.
00:22:22 All right.
00:22:24 There's some sting in that.
00:22:25 That's enough, please.
00:22:27 (Braddock)
00:22:31 (Howard) I want a turn, Dad. All right.
00:22:33 Hey, where's your defense?
00:22:35 I want a turn.
00:22:37 [Metallic clanking]
00:22:38 (Braddock) Left, right,
00:22:43 [Kids laughing]
00:22:46 Come on, Howie.
00:22:49 All right, that's enough!
00:22:52 No boxing out of the house.
00:22:54 No boxing. Period!
00:22:57 You're gonna stay in school.
00:22:58 Then you're gonna go
00:22:59 and you're gonna have
00:23:01 Because you're not gonna have
00:23:04 Do you understand me?
00:23:15 Hey, why don't you boys go and
00:23:19 [Crying]
00:23:42 I used to pray...
00:23:45 for you to get hurt
00:23:49 so you couldn't fight anymore.
00:23:52 And when they took your license
00:23:56 I went to the church
00:24:00 'Cause I always knew...
00:24:01 a day might come
00:24:05 I just knew it, Jimmy.
00:24:08 You just got the jitters,
00:24:10 He's killed two men, Jimmy!
00:24:15 I have to believe I got some
00:24:19 You know, that if things are
00:24:22 we can make things better
00:24:24 But I need you to be safe...
00:24:27 Nothing's safe anymore, Mae.
00:24:29 And without that...
00:24:30 I need you to be safe!
00:24:32 All right.
00:24:33 I have stood by for all of it.
00:24:37 Until now.
00:24:40 Not for this, Jimmy.
00:24:44 So you train all you want.
00:24:47 Make a show of it
00:24:50 But you find a way
00:24:53 Break your hand again
00:25:10 [Coughing]
00:25:11 (man)
00:25:19 So, how's he doing?
00:25:21 He's old. He's arthritic.
00:25:24 And his ribs haven't been
00:25:27 What's the bad news,
00:25:30 Joe!
00:25:31 The reporters are here.
00:25:33 Right. Get rid of that
00:25:35 Jimmy!
00:25:38 Get bouncing around
00:25:39 Showtime! Big smiles!
00:25:42 Baer don't need to know
00:27:15 Bye, Dad.
00:27:37 Come on, let's go. Let's go.
00:27:55 (man)
00:27:57 There's Braddock!

00:28:49 Hello, Mae.
00:28:54 So did they.
00:28:57 Yeah.
00:29:07 They all think

00:30:30 Now, refresh me
00:30:31 Who was it took that Corn Griffin
00:30:35 with no questions asked?
00:30:39 I used to think it was me...
00:30:40 but now I'm kinda thinking
00:30:41 No, don't you
00:30:44 At some stage, you think maybe
00:30:49 Why not?
00:30:56 All right, let's see.
00:31:00 [Knocking on door]
00:31:01 What?
00:31:22 Excuse me, ma'am.
00:31:32 You can't win
00:31:38 That's what I've been trying
00:31:50 Maybe I understand some.
00:31:53 About having to fight.
00:31:56 So you just remember

00:32:34 and you don't want to get tangled
00:32:38 Nice girl like you.
00:32:43 I'll see you at home.
00:32:51 Please, Jimmy.
00:32:54 I'll see you at home?
00:32:58 See you at home, baby.

00:34:46 (man)
00:34:49 [Crowd applauding]
00:34:51 [Crowd cheering]
00:34:56 James J. Braddock,
00:34:59 who just a year ago
00:35:01 Braddock's a tremendous
00:35:03 but you wouldn't know it from the reaction of
00:35:06 Madison Square Garden is on its feet and the noise
00:35:09 An astonishing crowd is
00:35:12 I saw people lining up to buy
00:35:14 as if they were spending
00:35:16 But they're here now
00:35:19 Listen to them!
00:35:21 [Crowd screaming]
00:35:39 (Braddock) We understand Max Baer
00:35:42 There he is.
00:35:43 Max Baer has the look and swagger of
00:35:46 Tonight, though,
00:35:48 not with Jim Braddock in the ring.
00:35:51 The table's been set.
00:35:58 (referee) Gentlemen,
00:36:00 in the dressing room.
00:36:01 One minute to midnight,
00:36:02 Yeah? Your clock's
00:36:04 I'm here to enforce them.

00:36:23 Keep your hands up at all
00:36:25 Now, touch gloves
00:36:27 Good luck. Go to your corners.
00:36:29 I'm gonna kick his Mick balls
00:36:32 That ought to be
00:36:37 Come on, Jimmy boy!
00:36:41 (Joe) Yeah, boys, get some
00:36:53 You can do this.
00:36:56 Have a picnic, all right?
00:37:03 (Bond) There's the bell!
00:37:06 [Crowd cheering]
00:37:13 The boys come out...
00:37:14 and immediately Braddock
00:37:19 That's it!
00:37:24 Now, now.
00:37:25 Baer snaps Braddock's head
00:37:29 It's always a question of which Max will show up
00:37:32 the killer or the clown?
00:37:41 Maxie doing well.
00:37:43 It looks like he's enjoying himself,
00:37:45 (Joe)
00:37:48 A big flurry by Braddock!
00:37:59 Take it easy, pal. I'll let
00:38:03 Madcap Maxie is heavily favored to put
00:38:06 in the first round.
00:38:07 That big right hand of his
00:38:09 especially when he traps
00:38:11 He's gonna carry him
00:38:14 [Both grunting]
00:38:18 (referee)
00:38:19 [Bell rings]
00:38:22 Go on, Jimmy!
00:38:25 (Bond) Jim survived the round and
00:38:28 Braddock will not be bullied.
00:38:30 When he does this horseshit,
00:38:32 He's trying to thumb you.
00:38:34 And then slip inside of there
00:38:37 All right? Shorten them up.
00:38:39 (Joe)
00:38:41 (man #1)
00:38:43 (man #2)
00:38:44 Well, no one expected Braddock
00:38:47 Shorten them up.
00:38:48 The experts at ringside
00:38:50 Shorten them up! (Bond)
00:38:52 And here we are
00:38:55 (Joe)
00:38:57 Braddock lands a hard right
00:38:59 Max swats him away
00:39:02 He appears to be
00:39:04 There's no other word for it.
00:39:06 Max struts around the ring
00:39:13 (Joe) Sharp, efficient,
00:39:17 [Crowd screaming]
00:39:21 Knock that on out.
00:39:23 (Bond on radio) And Max responds with
00:39:26 All power punches from Maxie.
00:39:35 Break him!
00:39:36 And Braddock punches
00:39:44 Cover up!
00:39:47 Is that the right spot, Jimmy?
00:39:49 [Bell rings] All right. Break it up!
00:39:51 Break it up, you two!
00:39:55 [Crowd whistling]
00:39:58 [Groaning]
00:40:02 How are those ribs?
00:40:05 (Jeanette) Good pace. Good pace,
00:40:08 Deep breaths. Relax.
00:40:11 You're looking great
00:40:13 Yeah.
00:40:14 Hey, Jim?
00:40:18 drop the elbows on him.
00:40:20 Break his goddamn hand.
00:40:22 (Bond)
00:40:23 Braddock landed several surprising
00:40:26 And those thunderous
00:40:28 should pay dividends
00:40:32 In the fifth,
00:40:36 (Joe)
00:40:38 Jimmy comes in
00:40:39 then neatly slides off
00:40:42 Avoiding the counterpunch,
00:40:48 And now the crowd is jeering and even laughing
00:40:51 And Maxie's none too pleased.
00:40:53 (referee)
00:40:55 Break!
00:40:57 [Crowd booing] Baer backhands Braddock
00:40:59 That'll cost Maxie.
00:41:00 You lousy shegetz!
00:41:02 That's a warning, Max.
00:41:05 I'm sorry.
00:41:09 How's that wife of yours?
00:41:10 (referee)
00:41:16 She talk about me?
00:41:18 All right. Break it up!
00:41:19 Quit fooling around, Max!
00:41:24 (Joe)
00:41:25 What was that?
00:41:26 Keep them up. Wake up,
00:41:30 [Crowd booing]
00:41:34 (Bond) Max salutes the crowd.
00:41:38 She say my name in her sleep?
00:41:41 Baer took a chin-full of Braddock's head
00:41:44 That's it! Work his body!
00:41:50 She miss me?
00:41:51 Baer grips Braddock's head
00:41:54 Jesus! Hey, Maxila you
00:41:57 That's your job, asshole.
00:41:59 (Bond)
00:42:00 (Baer) Hey, buddy...
00:42:02 You kidding me?
00:42:04 You're gonna get hurt.
00:42:06 Braddock keeps punching. They hammer each other,
00:42:11 Okay, break!
00:42:15 Keep your hands up
00:42:17 You watching the fight or
00:42:19 Take a seat, Maxie!
00:42:22 The guy has got nothing!
00:42:24 Jesus! Sit down!
00:42:28 Give me the sponge.
00:42:29 What are you doing?
00:42:31 Well, quit screwing around.
00:42:35 Give me the goddamn water.
00:42:43 (timer)
00:42:55 (Joe)
00:42:58 [Bell rings] You cut him
00:43:03 Oh, shit.
00:43:05 (Bond) In the seventh,
00:43:07 And Max is all business now.
00:43:11 (Gary) Put him away, Max! Get him!
00:43:13 Attaboy, Maxie! Attaboy!
00:43:15 Slide it, Jimmy!
00:43:19 Braddock starting
00:43:21 as Baer pushes him
00:43:23 Baer swings hard to the body.
00:43:25 Braddock gets in a right
00:43:28 Murder him, Maxie!
00:43:39 Jesus Christ.
00:43:41 Baer with a tremendous shot
00:43:43 That was the hardest blow
00:43:50 Oh, Christ.
00:43:51 Baer turns him again...
00:43:53 with another right to the head.
00:43:56 [Crowd screaming]
00:44:03 Push him, push him!
00:44:16 (Bond) Braddock gets in
00:44:18 [Bell rings]
00:44:20 Baer keeps on punching!
00:44:21 [Bell ringing]
00:44:23 Let him go! That's enough!
00:44:26 You're gonna go home
00:44:28 (referee) To your
00:44:30 [Crowd cheering]
00:44:34 All right.
00:44:37 Get it out. (Angelo) You're okay.
00:44:38 Let me see it.
00:44:40 That's nothing.
00:44:41 Keep your head up.
00:44:43 Breathe.
00:44:45 You got all your ugly friends
00:44:47 They're dressed up nice.
00:44:49 You're putting them to sleep.
00:44:53 Come on, pick it up.
00:44:57 Good boy.
00:45:01 Come on.
00:45:05 (Bond on radio) The boys go after each other
00:45:07 Braddock gets in a left to the body.
00:45:09 Mae.
00:45:11 Baer comes swinging across
00:45:13 It's the cops.
00:45:16 Braddock stumbles away.
00:45:17 Baer tries that right again!
00:45:20 They come together. Braddock swings a left
00:45:23 Please, Ma.
00:45:24 Max comes back with a left and
00:45:26 Braddock sticks out a left!
00:45:29 Another left!
00:45:30 And a hard right by Braddock
00:45:33 Baer tries that right again.
00:45:35 [Both grunting]
00:45:38 A hard right
00:45:40 Braddock is hurt.
00:45:45 [Baer grunting]
00:45:51 Braddock sticks out a left!
00:45:58 Neither man will back down!
00:46:01 And there's the bell!
00:46:04 James J. Braddock has exhibited
00:46:06 over 11 grueling rounds
00:46:09 Nobody expected him to last more than a few innings
00:46:13 Yet here he is.
00:46:16 But now we head into the championship rounds,
00:46:22 Hey, Jim, look at me.
00:46:27 I swear to God, boy,
00:46:30 Thanks, Joey.
00:46:35 You son of a bitch.
00:46:38 Get in there!
00:46:40 And bury him!
00:46:41 (Ancil)
00:46:43 Come on, Jimmy!
00:46:45 [Crowd cheering]
00:46:51 (Bond) Here in the 12th,
00:46:53 is showing this crowd
00:47:03 Jimmy seems to be
00:47:05 and has slapped it away
00:47:11 Keep moving, boy-o!
00:47:15 Son of a bitch!
00:47:17 Braddock with a shoeshine.
00:47:20 Am I seeing what I'm seeing?
00:47:23 Finish him, Jimmy. Finish him!
00:47:25 [Crowd chanting]
00:47:36 Maxie's glamour-boy smile
00:47:40 This crowd is desperately
00:47:43 But Mr. Baer might have something to say
00:47:47 [Crowd applauding]
00:47:50 Holy crap!
00:47:57 (referee)
00:47:58 [Bell rings] That last low blow
00:48:01 Jesus!
00:48:04 Why don't you just kick him
00:48:06 Joe, back in your corner!
00:48:07 What are you afraid of,
00:48:10 (referee)
00:48:11 [Screaming]
00:48:14 Come on, Ref!
00:48:17 (Bond on radio) McAvoy is on the verge of
00:48:24 (man) Knock him on the ground, Bulldog!
00:48:29 Last round.
00:48:31 You better worry about Baer's
00:48:33 You know what I mean.
00:48:34 You won this one.
00:48:38 But I want you to play it
00:48:41 I know you don't like
00:48:43 but I want you to stay away
00:48:45 do you understand me?
00:48:48 Right hand.
00:48:49 You're behind.
00:48:53 You want to lose the championship
00:48:56 Hey. (man) Come on, Jimmy!
00:48:58 This is your night.
00:49:01 (Joe) Stay away. Put him down!
00:49:05 Use your right hand.
00:49:10 [Men screaming]
00:49:13 (timer) Ten seconds!
00:49:20 (Joe) It's the last round,
00:49:24 You play this bastard smart
00:49:37 One more round to go, folks.
00:49:39 McAvoy stands
00:49:41 waiting for the fighters
00:50:04 Touch gloves.
00:50:08 (Bond) The boys touch gloves
00:50:11 And now they're right
00:50:12 Oh, no, Jimmy!
00:50:16 Leave him alone!
00:50:19 Stay away from him!
00:50:21 That ain't laying back!
00:50:23 Braddock's corner
00:50:25 to stay away from Baer.
00:50:26 Because Baer is looking
00:50:28 Stay off him, Jim. Come on!
00:50:33 Right hand, Max. Yes!
00:50:36 [Both grunting]
00:50:42 What is he, stupid?
00:50:47 Step away!
00:50:49 Braddock trying to survive
00:50:52 (Joe)
00:50:54 Don't let him touch you!
00:50:56 Hey, looking good, Maxie!
00:51:03 Watch the uppercut! Just
00:51:06 (Bond on radio) Baer cutting loose
00:51:08 A left to the body.
00:51:10 Baer again with a right!
00:51:11 Braddock covering up,
00:51:15 Baer looking for the knockout.
00:51:16 He doesn't want this one
00:51:19 They pound each other
00:51:22 Braddock blocking
00:51:24 Snaps a big right
00:51:28 [Crowd whistling]
00:51:36 Baer smashes him
00:51:38 [Crowd groans]
00:51:46 Braddock is back on the ropes.
00:52:20 [Crowd screaming]
00:52:35 Braddock lands
00:52:38 Maxie desperately wants
00:52:40 from slipping away.
00:52:45 Jesus Christ.
00:52:53 Stay with him!
00:52:59 Both fighters are tired.
00:53:02 [Crowd screaming]
00:53:11 Baer is trying wildly
00:53:14 But Jimmy is still standing...
00:53:15 and he's not only standing,
00:53:30 This is the finish.
00:53:34 This is not boxing, folks.
00:53:42 Ten seconds!
00:53:43 Time's up!
00:53:57 [Bell ringing]
00:53:59 That is the bell! It's over!

00:54:22 the biggest underdog...
00:54:23 ... in pugilistic history.
00:54:25 For 15 rounds he gave it everything
00:54:27 against the younger,
00:54:30 [Crowd applauding]
00:54:40 [Both laughing]

00:55:00 Which way?
00:55:01 You'll have to read it

00:55:39 is still standing, yelling for who
