Louis Beats Abe Simon in Thirteenth Round KO
Los Angeles was not the scene but Detroit Olympia hosted a 13th round technical knockout as Joe Louis defeated Abe Simon in a surprising title defense. Referee Sam Hennessy stopped the bout after Louis dropped Simon twice as the challenger clung to the ropes. Simon, 254 pounds, sustained a left eye cut requiring three stitches, yet praised Louis's courage. Plans floated for a rematch in May in New York, with Detroit as a possible September venue. Louis, sporting a black eye, said Simon was tougher than Primo Carnera and the champion needed ice for his pain after the bout.
