FROM THE BOOKS
"When I climbed in the ring at Yankee Stadium, Chappie warned me for the millionth time that Sharkey would use the same tactics Schmeling had. I was nervous and worried when I faced him. This was the toughest time I ever had. My career was at stake. I couldn't afford to lose two fights in a row."
