Walcott and Louis face to face on The way it was !

[Ray Corso]

Two great and respectfull fighters who did well against each other. What stands out watching the fight is how Walcott emulated Sugar Rays step overs and when Joe hurt Walcott how he immediately pounded the left side with right hands. The way to wear a man down when you get a few good shots into the head is to pound the body and that method was ingrained in Joe Louis and he did as well as it could be done. Terrific fighters! Ray

Superb video! Louis was pretty sharp. Surely this must have been only a few years before his death perhaps mid-late 70s?

Interesting that Walcott favoured Marciano as a harder one punch hitter than Louis.
