1935 Sweeping action photograph of Joe Louis as he headed back to his corner after flooring Max Baer in the third round of their fight at Yankee Stadium. Despite having just lost his title to Jame Braddock, Baer was considered the best fighter in the world and Louis just destroyed him. Baer would stumble one more round before being TKO'd in the fourth round of this fight, cementing Louis' position as the number one challenger to Braddock's throne. One of Louis' greatest moments in the ring, this is a large and attractive image from Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
