Schmeling Readies for Louis Title Showdown in New York
Max Schmeling arrives in New York after five weeks of mountain training ahead of the 15 round heavyweight title fight with Joe Louis at Yankee Stadium. Analysts split on outcome with about 40 percent backing Schmeling, while Louis prepares for official weigh-in and no heavy sparring before a likely 75,000 crowd and a $900,000 gate. Projections lean toward Schmeling on a knockout, though opinions vary among experts and veteran boxers.
