Tammy and I finally watched Cinderella Man last evening. It is based on a true story. If you haven't watched it yet I recommend viewing it. It was a good movie. These images I found on the Web. They are pictures of the original two boxers. They are Max Bauer and Jim Braddox. Good Movie.You may be interested to know this:
On June 13th, 1935, in Long Island City, N.Y., Braddock, as a 10 to 1 underdog, won the heavyweight championship of the world from Max Baer. The general reaction in most quarters was described as, "the greatest fistic upset since the defeat of John L. Sullivan by Jim Corbett". Braddock would lose his heavyweight title two years later in an 8 round KO to "The Brown Bomber", Joe Louis.
Oh yeah! I forgot, Russel Crowe plays the part of Jim Braddox in this movie. He did a good job.
