Joe Louis - Defensive & Countering Ability

Defensive highlights of the legendary Heavyweight champion. The Brown Bomber!

Joe Louis - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed "The Brown Bomber", Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world Heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes. He has the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history. Louis's cultural impact was felt well outside the ring. He is widely regarded as the first African-American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II because of his historic rematch with German boxer Max Schmeling in 1938. He retired with an incredible record of 66-3 (52 KO's).

Nearly perfect economy of movement. It's like he moves the exact amount of inches needed and nothing else. Joe Louis was a genius.

Most great offensive fighters don't get credit for their defensive and footwork capabilities. Thank you for posting this.

Joe Louis a true warrior in every sense of the word. When heavyweights are mentioned these days the names of Ali, Tyson etch are the ones people talk about but Joe Louis was a true Legend and his record speaks for itself and still stands today. His economy of movement, tenacity, killer instinct, and his incredible punching ability makes him my all time favourite heavyweight.

His movements were so subtle I had to watch at .5 speed to truly understand the brilliant technique and choice of footage.

Great Video, Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight of all times, 25 title defenses, 12 years as champion with 22 of his 25 title defenses ended in KOs.

Almost every move Joe Louis made was executed to perfection, boxing master with his technique and purpose.

[ThrowbackHighlightss]

Joe Louis was really an underated defender

[mider-spanman]

I love Joe Louis' parrying ability. That's what I would try to emulate. The way he can just swap away his opponent's fist is cool.

[nukergaming]

To think that I am born with the same birthday as this legend. I can only respect his textbook perfect skills. Very subtle movements, just getting out of the way without over the top footwork.

[Pedro_Le_Chef]

Offensively and Defensively proficient. The Greatest.
