Braddock-Louis Bout May Flop Apparent lack of public Interest In the forthcoming bout between Jimmy Braddock and Joe Louis, and the lack of build-up for the fight, may result in the match proving "the flop of the century".. Legal tangles have so involved the affair, and skepticism run so high over the ability of Braddock to withstand the murderous onslaught of the Brown 'Bomber, that the genius of a Tex Rickard appears ' necessary if a big gate is to attend the fight in Chicago in June.
