New York State Athletic Commission ruled that the punch delivered by Louis, which struck Schmeling on the kidney was a fair and square blow despite the German's attempt to claim that it was a foul.
Brown said the "kidney punch was delivered a clear blow. It was not a foul."
The Commissioner explained that a kidney blow, however, "could be illegal when deliberately made as during a partial clinch."
Meanwhile, advance showing of moving pictures made of the fight were shown to newspapermen and Commission officials.
The film convinced all experts that the Brown Bomber's lefts and rights to the head brought about Schmeling's defeat, A terrific right hook, they said, virtually ended the fight, sending the German to the ropes where he was terrifically beaten.
