...knocked out a third-rater named Jack Kracken in the first round. Since then, he has had 21 fights, won 17 of them by knockouts, four by decision. Training for his bout with Carnera, he fought 75 rounds against six sparring partners, knocked each of them out at least twice with oversized training gloves. Salient feature of Joe Louis' character is his almost psychopathic calm. He sleeps twelve hours every night, often takes a day-time nap as well. He talks rarely and in monosyllables. When he arrived in Manhattan, he was greeted by an army of reporters...
