James "Cinderella Man" Braddock

Braddock over Baer in 1935 is arguably one of the greatest upsets in all of sports not just boxing.

Without live sports, ESPN has been televising old boxing matches. I’ve always been a fan of boxing but watching some of these old fights reminds me how brutal yet beautiful this sport was at one point. Vintage boxing is required viewing. Even as a designer, old school boxing robes contain some awesome lock ups. Plus the names and nicknames are truly masterpieces.
