Joe Jacobs was furious.
It wasn’t fair. It’d been a ferocious battle, and Max was clearly the winner. He’d knocked out Jack Sharkey fair and square.

Joe was Max Schmeling’s manager, and they really wanted to win the heavyweight title match. It was just the thing Max needed to boost his boxing career.
