It was June 18, 1941, on a night in which the earth stood still, figuratively speaking. It was one of the most exciting and career-defining moments in this game of thrones that we call boxing. On this day, we saw a bold rise as light heavyweight champion, the “Pittsburgh Kid” Billy Conn, 64-11-1, 15 KO’s, took on the heavyweight champion of the world, “The Brown Bomber” Joe Louis, 66-3, 52 KO’s. This fight, pitted a light heavyweight rising in weight to take on the undisputed heavyweight champion near his absolute peak.
