Braddock Battles Farr in Madison Square Garden Showdown
Jim Braddock and Tommy Farr, both top heavyweights, meet in Madison Square Garden on Friday night in a 10 round bout. The winner is seen as the likely challenger for the world title this fall, with Braddock facing pressure to extend his career. Farr holds betting favor as the younger, heavier puncher, while Braddock relies on his left jab and right hand. The winner pursues a September title shot against Louis or Schmeling, while the loser fades from the scene.
