Note Joe Louis was behind in the fight and was having some problems with Billy Conn's style/skill/speed. There's mention of Louis draining himself a bit for the fight on purpose to get his weight down to make it look like he wasn't that much bigger than Conn and so on but forget that for now and concentrate on what's taking place.

Of course there were little things Joe did throughout the fight to help slow Conn down, like body-shots when in close, continued movement forward to keep Conn moving around/back and eventually it caught up to Billy and Louis timed him and nailed him, and got him out of there.
