Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling (or Max Schmeling vs. Joe Louis) refers to two separate fights between the men which are among boxing's most talked-about bouts. Schmeling took the first match in 1936 by a knockout in round 12 but Louis won the second bout in 1938 with a knockout in the first round. The two fights came to embody the broader political and social conflict of the time. As the most significant African American athlete of his age and the most successful black fighter since Jack Johnson, Louis was a focal point for African American pride in the 1930s. Moreover, as a contest between representatives of the United States and Nazi Germany during the 1930s, the fights came to symbolize the struggle between democracy and fascism.

  • Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling furono due celebri incontri di pugilato che videro contrapposti l'atleta americano a quello tedesco, una prima volta nel 1936 e la seconda nel 1938. Il tedesco Max Schmeling vinse il primo confronto per KO al dodicesimo round mentre nel secondo match fu lo statunitense Joe Louis, soprannominato "Brown Bomber", a battere l'avversario per KO tecnico al primo round. Anche se i due campioni misero in scena uno spettacolo notevole dal punto di vista tecnico, entrambi i loro confronti sono celebri per le notevoli ripercussioni sociali e politiche. Quale maggiore atleta afroamericano della sua epoca e più importante pugile nero dai tempi di Jack Johnson, Louis rappresentava l'"orgoglio degli afroamericani" negli anni trenta. In aggiunta, data la contrapposizione tra Stati Uniti d'America e Germania nazista, i due incontri arrivarono a simboleggiare la battaglia tra democrazia e totalitarismo. Le prestazioni offerte da Louis nei due confronti lo resero uno dei primi veri eroi nazionali afroamericani degli Stati Uniti. (it)
  • Joe Louis kontra Max Schmeling – dwie walki bokserskie z 1936 i 1938 roku, które odbyły się na Yankee Stadium. Pierwszą konfrontację wygrał Niemiec Max Schmeling, a dwa lata później zwyciężył Afroamerykanin Joe Louis. Schmeling wygrał pierwszy mecz w 1936 roku przez nokaut w dwunastej rundzie. W drugiej walce w 1938 roku Louis wygrał przez nokaut w pierwszej rundzie. Pierwsza konfrontacja nie była oficjalną walką o mistrzostwo świata, lecz prestiżowym pojedynkiem mistrzów czarnej i białej rasy, co podkreślane było w ówczesnych Niemczech przez tamtejsze środki propagandy. Między innymi w 1938 roku w Polsce wiersz na ten temat, pod tytułem K.O., napisał Władysław Szlengel. Walkę oglądało na nowojorskim Yankee Stadium ponad 40 tys. osób. W 1938 roku doszło do rewanżu z Louisem, będącego już oficjalnym pojedynkiem o tytuł mistrza świata. Schmeling został znokautowany po zaledwie 124 sekundach walki. Dzięki swojej wygranej Louis stał się jednym z pierwszych bohaterów wśród Afroamerykanów. (pl)
