Joe Louis appears to be functioning on a totally different psychological and physical plane of existence! Max Schmeling made much of the Nazi regime’s ideology and symbolism – giving the impression that his “race” was the prime-mover behind his earlier win over Joe Louis! Joe Louis was well-trained and mentally focused upon the task at hand! He understood that the whole world was watching to see if Hitler’s “racism” or Joe Louis’s “hard work” would win the day! Joe Louis made such a statement on that day that the world is still resonating from the ideological power of his punches! Two-weeks later, Max Schmeling had to be carried onto a ship bound for Germany whilst still lying upon a stretcher due to a broken vertebrae in his lower back.
