Roar of the Crowd. All the Great Fights of Joe Louis. His Rise… His Fall… Championship.

  • NP: , 1930s.
By [Boxing: Joe Louis].
Boxing bill (poster) advertisement for Joe Louis fight films, 9"x 12," one sheet. Some aging and browning, a few chips at the edges; otherwise very good. This advertisement for a Joe Louis fight movie promises "all the great Joe Louis Fights in one picture." Louis is pictured in in two photos, one a promotional pose with Jim Braddock, and a second picture of Louis outside the ring as the ref counts out one of his opponents. This film was to be shown at the Dixie Theatre, and the fights were to include his battles with Baer, Carnera, Levinsky, Schmeling and Braddock. While the small poster is not dated, it is probably before the second Schmeling fight, which he won by first round knockout, since there is no reference to it.
