James J. Braddock, born in New York City, was known locally for his thunderous right hand and successful amateur boxing career. After turning professional, he defeated foe after foe, and his rapid rise from obscurity earnt him the nickname, the Cinderella Man. He was given a shot at the world light heavyweight title against champion Tommy Loughran in 1929, but lost in a 15–round decision. Following that defeat and the stock market crash of 1929, Jim Braddock struggled to win fights and provide for his young family. Eventually Jim's luck turned. In 1934 he had upset wins against Corn Griffin and John Henry Lewis. With these two wins, Braddock set himself up for another shot at the world title – against heavyweight champion, Max Baer. On 13 June 1935, as a 10 to 1 underdog, Jim took the world title from Max Baer in what was described as, 'the greatest fistic upset since the defeat of John L. Sullivan by Jim Corbett'. Braddock would lose his heavyweight title two years later in an eight–round KO to 'The Brown Bomber', Joe Louis. Jim was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1964, the Hudson County Hall of Fame in 1991 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2001. • Tips for Using This Audiobook: • Listen Actively • Practice Complex Vocabulary • Note down unfamiliar words and phrases, and incorporate them into your writing or speaking practice to solidify learning. • Consider discussing the story’s themes, characters and messages to deepen your understanding. • Why You Should Listen: • Engage with content that pushes your language skills to their limits, helping you achieve near-native fluency. • Expand Your Lexicon, Challenge Your Comprehension: Navigate through dense and richly layered narratives • Subscribe to Learn English and support your English language journey. • 👍 Like, comment, and share this video to help others discover the excitement of mastering English through captivating stories! • Support or Contribution to the Channel is optional through PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/freelancevertal... • Apoyo o Contribución al Canal es opcional por Medio De PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/freelancevertal... • Mi canal de Youtube para mas audio videos : / @audiobookslibrary-abl • My Youtube channel for more audio videos: / @audiobookslibrary-abl
