Schmeling Defeats Neusel in Sandbahn Lokstedt, Hamburg, Germany 4k Colorized. Background Info: "Max Schmeling loomed today above the heads of the pack seeking Max Baer's heavyweight title as the deadly fists of the former heavyweight champion smashed Walter Neusel of Germany into submission. Schmeling never gave Neusel a chance. From the start, with his deadly right working at short range, he hammered the bewildered Neusel. The last rounds resembled a boxing lesson between instructor and pupil. Going into the 8th round, Neusel was apparently out on his feet. Schmeling rocked him around the ring, following him to the ropes, beating him unmercifully as Neusel sought desperately to cover. Neusel went to his corner bleeding profusely and palpably unable to continue. He gave up the fight after a few words with his handlers and Schmeling again became the most dangerous contender in the heavyweight picture." -United Press

Walter Wilke, the UP correspondent, stated that there was 75,000 in attendance, but thousands, who were unable to get into the arena, stood outside listening to loudspeakers, which gave an account of the fight.
Before the fight, Ancil Hoffman, the manager of heavyweight champ Max Baer, received an offer of $100,000 to defend against the winner of the bout in Germany, but countered with nothing less than $500,000. The promoter, Walter Rothenberg then upped his offer to $150,000, but Hoffman held fast. He said, "The offers are getting higher, but I wouldn't take Baer to Germany for less than $500,000. They'd probably try to steal the decision from us."
On July 22, 1931, Max Schmeling of Germany defended his World Heavyweight Title against Young Stribling of the United States in Cleveland, Ohio. This bout was one of the most anticipated fights of the early 1930s, showcasing two of the era’s most skilled and determined heavyweights.
Schmeling, known for his technical boxing and powerful right hand, faced the aggressive and experienced Stribling in front of a crowd of over 35,000 spectators. The fight went deep into the late rounds, with both fighters exchanging sharp combinations and battling for dominance.
This colorized version brings new life to a historic contest that exemplifies the grit, endurance, and discipline of heavyweight boxing's golden era.
