Baer May Never Fight For Title Again London, June 10.
Max Baer may never fight again in the ring of which he was once champion. There is no worth-while place for him after his defeat by Lou Nova, who beat him on a technical knock-out in the eleventh round Of a savage fight at the Yankee Stadium, New York last night.
And the non-philandering Baer of these days will accept it, like the Philosopher he is, as the inevitable fate of a fallen star, Tt is the luck of the game. But how it must have hurt to lose to a young and comparatively unknown fighter.
Less than 12 months ago New York had scarcely heard of Nova, and when, last October, he fought Gunnar Baerlund, he was voted to have small, if any, chance.
In seven rounds, however, he knocked out Baerlund, which was a remarkably good and surprising performance.
