Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981), best known as Joe Louis, was an American professional boxer. He held the world heavyweight championship from 1937 to 1949, and is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Nicknamed the "Brown Bomber", Louis helped elevate boxing from a decline in popularity in the post-Jack Dempsey era by establishing a reputation as an honest, hardworking fighter at a time when the sport was dominated by gambling interests. Louis' championship reign lasted 140 consecutive months, during which he participated in 26 championship fights; a 27th fight, against Ezzard Charles, was a challenge to Charles' heavyweight title and so is not included in Louis' reign. Louis was victorious in 25 title defenses, a record for any division. In 2005, Louis was ranked as the #1 heavyweight of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization, and was ranked #1 on The Ring magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Punchers of All-Time.

Plot: Pomeranian (NE German) boxer Max Schmelling, a fair, courageous gentleman, becomes world champion and a national hero in the early 1930s, winning the hand of singer Anny Ondra.

He starts all over, although rather too old, with remarkable results.

Plot: In this first entry of the Monogram features based on the comic-strip character created by Ham Fisher (while not the first use of the character on the screen), fight manager and promoter Knobby Walsh trains Al Costa to fight for the heavyweight championship, but gangster Florini, with the help of his henchmen, Lefty and Curly, takes the budding champion away from him. Knobby begins the search for a new fighter by taking four fighters and handler Smoky on a tour of tank towns. He finds Joe Palooka, a natural boxer, in a small town. Anne Howe, a society girl passing through town, helps persuade the shy-and-gentle farm boy to sign a contract with Knobby. Joe wins a string of sensational matches and, while training for the championship match with the recently-crowned champion Costa, Anne invites him to a party where her snobby society friend Ronnie Brewster makes a fool of Joe. The latter's training suffers as a result of this and estrangements from Knobby and Anne, but he rebuffs the efforts of Florini to get him to throw the fight.

Joe Louis' How to Box: http://amzn.to/2tQyIzi Joe Louis was perhaps the most technically skilled boxer to ever rule the heavyweight devision. He reigned as the heavy weight champion for an astounding 12 years, and had 52 wins by KO. Many of them came by way of his flawless cross. Luois’ style of fighting was minimalistic, and he was incredibly patient. He would make incremental adjustments of mere inches to get his proffered distance, and wait until the most opportune time. If Louis wasn’t sure he could land a knockout with his cross at that exact moment, he simply didn’t throw it. It’s ironic that one of the most technically sound and mechanically proficient boxers in history used techniques that would today be considered overly risky or even sloppy. But Luois used these power building ...

[Verse 1:]
This is the apology song
Maybe I should call you when I'm running late
Too many times when I left you there and made you wait
It's crazy... that you still my baby... yeahh
I get home every night, and it's an argument
I really should, but I don't tell you where I've been
Cause lately I been actin' so crazy... yeahh
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it takes a lot to admit I'm wrong
That I don't wanna wake up to find you gone
A girl like you is one in a million,
And I want you to know... so here it goes...
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
[Verse 2:]
I know sometimes I'm out and it gets late at night
I say there's no reception or my battery died
It's crazy, why do I lie to my baby? Whyyy?
If you are doing the same things that I do
I don't know if I can stand bein with you
I'm gonna stop takin you for granted (I think this is the line...)
I've been doing it now for too long
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it takes a lot to admit I'm wrong
That I don't wanna wake up to find you gone
A girl like you is one in a million,
And I want you to know... so here it goes...
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
[Verse 3:]
This is the apology song...
Baby, forgive I'm just bein a man
There are so many things you don't understand
But I'm a try my best you deserve though
[Chorus:]
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
