Max Schmeling 189 lbs lost to Max Baer 203 lbs by TKO at 1:51 in round 10 of 15 Date: 1933-06-08 Location: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, USA Purses: Schmeling: $78,000, Baer: $26,000 Schmeling was floored for about an eight-count, and got back up groggy. Baer continued to pummel his opponent before Referee Donovan stepped in to spare Schmeling from further punishment. A crowd of 53,000 (with another 3,300 with passes)--including Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera--paid $239,, to assure a fair profit for Jack Dempsey in his first big promotional venture.
