Cakewalker Part III: Just a Left Hook (Christmas Episode)

Send us a text


Christmas takes us full circle as we continue with the Jersey Joe
Walcott story. We pick up with the build up to Jersey Joe's third
attempt at the world heavyweight title. The National Boxing
Association declares the position vacant with its former holder,
Joe Louis, promoting a fight to determine the new champion.
Jersey Joe takes on the "Cincinnati Cobra" Ezzard
Charles. 

Along the way we look at the history of the left hook, boxing's
great surprise attack forged through the gloved era and an apt
metaphor for life. We also take a brief look at Two-Ton Tony
Galento, one of the sport's most colourful figures, as he checks
out the two new prospects. Going further back, we recount the
uncanny tale of when Jersey Joe met the original Joe Walcott and
look at his story as one of history's greatest
welterweights.
