Baer Braddock Heavyweight Title Fight Lacks Frenzy
The Baer versus Braddock heavyweight title bout at Madison Square Garden on June 12 1934 faces weak public intrigue despite high stakes. Baer is a strong favorite at about 8 to 1 and promoters forecast a gate near 350000 dollars, though advance sales suggest under 250000. Braddock’s chances hinge on a fast start and sustained pressure, with longer bouts favoring his grit and punching power as Baer aims to avoid injuries and maintain form.
