Gans was incredible but he did not invent the Shoulder Roll. He was an apprentice of Bob Fitzsimmons who Gans said was his hero and who he learned his craft from. Fitzsimmons can be seen using the shoulder Roll in his filmed fights as well, but he didn't invent it either. It's mentioned and taught in multiple written Boxing sources from at least the 1700's. Including Daniel Mendoza's Book where he says he likes to pair it with the Cross Guard, parries and feints, but that these skills are all old school forgotten throw back skills even in his day. We don't know who invented it or how far back it goes.
At the end, when the coach told Ali to block the cross with his right hand, what if the opponent throws a left hook? Wouldn’t he just take a direct hit?
in the old school cross-armed guard, you would raise the right arm with it horizontally in front of your face so that your right tricep blocked the left hook
@@bluesytreble1405 Yeah that makes sense, but wouldn’t that expose you to a liver shot? What if the opponent decides to liver hook instead of the head?
@@GloomyStvnc Much like the philly shell, the left arm is wrapped around your torso, with your left glove over your liver to form a static block. The cross guard is a very defensive guard.
@@bluesytreble1405 but in this case, the left arm would be in use (because of the jab) so he wouldn’t have the left arm to protect. So isn’t he just prone to a counter punch?
Because then the hand is more in line with your body. It's in a better position to beat other punches since it's down the line and you can block as you jab. If you ever sparred, sometimes when you jab, people will jab with you. There's a place for both tho

If the rest of the world thought the same weak shitty way you did we never would of had legends like joe louis or any other person who have made something of there lives in some way in the past or present. It's that kind of bullshit talk that kills dreams instead of achieving them and like the other person said you sound like another dream killer.
Jeff makes a good point, but should be taken with a grain of salt. I used to go, as an unemployed, impoverished 20-something year old, to practice the piano in practice rooms at the Harold Washington library in Chicago. In the middle of the afternoon on weekdays, there were people pursuing their dreams and passions, some of them skilled, some no talent at all, but plugging away at their art, singing, or playing instruments. I doubt any one of them made a career in music any more than I did, but there we were. If you're trying to do something in which fewer than one in a million succeed, you better be pretty darn sure you're better than the other 999,999 before you devote dozens of hours a week to it, or sacrifice other major priorities in life (like solvency). If you're rich, maybe another story. So, there neither blindly following one's dreams, or giving up on one's dreams or passions too easily or unnecessarily is the right answer, but rather realistically assessing one's actual abilities and talents, and deciding what sacrifices are warranted. Take "Mr. Holland's Opus": Often there is a kind of in-between path: Not so much abandoning or pursuing one's "dream," but adjusting it to life's practical demands. Typically there will be be no glamour or gold, but often equally (or at least comparably) important rewards, like a formerly "aspiring boxer" becoming an outstanding athletics instructor, who may save a youth's life by the positive impact. That may well be better than gold or glory.
I swear this is the best thing I have ever watched. I love old school boxing only way to master the sweet science
Feel exactly the same awesome footage .
100
No doubt about it!
the actor who played joe louis coley wallace actually beat rocky marciano in ameteur days AND in raging bull he played joe louis
Dalton Ledington no way
@@SuperMurray2009 It's true.
Highly controversial decision -- most spectators at the fight thought it should have been a draw, at best.
Name?
That's right. Only fighter to ever beat Marciano

@@parispj2018 I wanted to ask the same

" Remember that...Balance, the secret of great fighter"
What an underrated movie. Simple and inspirational! God bless!
Lol this boxing match scene looks more realistic than anything current movies put out.
This too true 😂😂
Joe Louis God bless him
Joe Louis is coach, coach Blackburn mentions the name Joe Ganz, the first man who invented the shoulder role in the early 1900's.
Blackburn fought him 3 times. It seems like he taught Joe that kinda style gans had

@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236 excellent insight yes
@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236Where’s the proof of that? Cause to me it seems like you don’t want to give Gans who is a BM his credit.
fitz was mentor of gans? that's news to me@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236
The man playing Louis in the session with Mr Blackburn, is uncannily similar looking to Muhammed Ali too, IMO
One thing about boxing 🥊 you got to be ready to take them hits cuz they really be knocking out each other
This is beautiful.
As afrocentric people ,we sometimes forget who paid the way to make some money and feel like a champion 🏆 of the world, thank you Joseph!!!!
This was a good movie..and this guy look just like joe Louis
Excellent Episode....
Probably this is best explanation of blackburn crouch exist :( I wish I could learn more about
how do you know about this
Beautiful video.
Excellent I wanna see this film, where can I find it? IT a real gem of old school training I'm glad I've find it.i want more of that kind of footage.
It's an excerpt from an old movie "The Joe Louis Story". Google and you can probably find it and watch it.
lol thanks. its from ages ago. 1953.
The true greatest heavyweight champion of all time!!!
Good stuff,, thanx
I want to see more vintage Joe Louis training. Matter o fact I want to see Ray Leonard’s i hope it exists. This is historical
its from a movie
There's plenty of video on CZcams of Louis training. Other old time fighters too.
Balance, Remember BALANCE
Watched it yesterday
Joe was trained to carry his left low, which resulted in being ko'd by Max Schmeling 🥊
when i first saw this movie 25 years ago i thought this was joe louis. i was just learning about boxing history and it was confusing
Who played Louis?
He thru that right in a wicked way,not even a strait right ,more of a whip, oh
Great vid
Thanks
Joe is tops.

The man playing Louis was Coley Wallace, the only man ever to beat Rocky Marciano. He beat Marciano in the amateurs.
Ha,got my answer further down in comments,,thanks
the actor who played joe louis coley wallace actually beat rocky marciano in ameteur days
Yes -- in a controversial decision disagreed with by most people watching the fight.

Jack Blackburn
Who's that second coach🗿
1.12 naw nawww
Why is it that the older generation of fighterspostion there rear hand like that rather than to the side of there cheek and why has it stopped
But I know it's to parry punhes though.
Because then the hand is more in line with your body. It's in a better position to beat other punches since it's down the line and you can block as you jab. If you ever sparred, sometimes when you jab, people will jab with you. There's a place for both tho
