1934 Prize Fighting Drama Saved By Max Baer
James B. Reston surveys heavyweight boxing in 1934 noting Max Baer saved the year by dethroning Primo camera in June. Baer’s humorous approach masked his strong performance, while other heavies like Art Lasky and Max Schmeling faced lackluster campaigns. Barney Ross stood out in the lower divisions, and several titles changed hands or faded. The year ended with uncertainty over who won fights at Madison Square Garden.
