Lee Ramage info

Post by Robinson »

Hello all

I am wondering if anyone has seen film or has any of Lee Ramage.
And if so what was your impression of him as a fighter, who would he say compare to..

I have only read that he was a pretty talented fighter who was active behind the jab and was clever at darting in and out. He lost to Joe Louis twice but beat Maxie Rosenbloom.

Thanks in advance guys.

I've only seen his KO defeat to Louis, and he was up and down like a yo-yo so it's hard to say how good he was. Though getting Ko'd by The Brown Bomber is no disgrace of course.

The film of his being KO'd by a young Joe Louis is easily available.

It is of interest for what Louis was doing at the time (what his trainer Blackburn had him doing).

Louis' very short, killing right hand is visible.

Ramage did not belong in the same ring with Louis .

He had nothing to hold Louis off with.

From what I can see of him, he had heavy legs, with little strength in his upper body.

Thanks lads.

I shall dig up my Louis footage, and have a peek.

I am curious to see what he looks like compared to how he is
described in writings.
