Louis Nearing Peak Condition For Schmeling Title Fight
Joe Louis nears peak form for his title defense against Max Schmeling at Yankee Stadium on June 22. He boxed six rounds with three partners in a standout session sparring under observers Jimmy Braddock and Gene Tunney who praised his improved speed and countering. Braddock predicted a knockout within five rounds if Louis maintains the pace. Tunney warned only that Louis has shown vast improvement and better defense. Schmeling began his final week of training with six rounds and will focus on roadwork and light drills before later glove work.
