“Chase?” A shaky voice echoed from the foyer. I bolted through the doors. A familiar cloud of golden hair stood encircled by a ring of shattered glass, cerulean irises pulsing with masked tension. My eyes quickly caught the hole in the window above the liquor counter and the misshapen rock resting beneath the bar stools.

Nathan Kramr Mrs. Parnell English AAC February 8, 2023 Boxing in the Roaring Twenties During the 1920s, or rather the roaring twenties, the sport of boxing had significant growth and experienced a surge in popularity, and it became one of the most popular sports in America. Boxing had a positive impact on the nation’s economy and boxing made its top fighters very rich. Among them were Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney who had some of the best and most controversial fights of the twenties. Boxing positively benefited the nation, the economy, and its boxers.
Representing the upper classes of society was Gene Tunney, a man of Victorian values with humble roots in a working-class Irish American family who was adored by the middle and upper classes. William Dempsey represented the opposite values, a poor boy from the western United States who left home in his teens to work as a miner, growing up around violence and alcohol. Dempsey would find huge success in boxing; However, he was not a likeable champion as middle-class journals did not look upon him favorably and many viewers seeing him as a villain in Tunney’s story. To further add to his negative image, word of him avoiding service during the war and divorcing of his first wife were spread by journals, ultimately ruining his public reputation, which would be destroyed after his defeat by Tunney in the famous fight.

This fight was not expected to be a slugfest, per se, but what made the fight particularly interesting was that Schmeling kept on telling the public that he had “seen something” in Louis’s style that would cost him the matchup. That “something,” Schmeling later revealed, was that whenever Louis would throw a lead jab, his would lower his lead arm down to his waist, leaving his face and jaw exposed. Come the fight, Schmeling is in the best fighting shape of his life and confident he will beat Louis, but Louis’s confident is akin to Schmeling’s. The determining factor, however, was that Schmeling was in shape and Louis was not. Louis came out strong as he always had in the opening rounds, but he started to fatigue in the mid-rounds and, as Schmeling anticipated, Louis kept dropping his lead arm after he jabbed—and Schmeling took advantage of that.
