on September 8th 1950 two of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport met for the third [Music] time Sandy Saddler took the first fight by knockout and Willie Pep won the second one via a unanimous decision they both already knew each other at this point s Camp said that in your second fight was it that you were going to run like a thief well I did a box Bo boxing is different than running when you move around and don’t get hit that’s running but I was boxing yeah if I didn’t box me he knocked me out so you gave him a boxing lesson show I think I well I won the fight pep was now the champion having regained his crown in his second fight against Sadler they were experienced boxers at the peak of their respective careers and the world featherweight title was on the line both perfectly represent the unpredictable fights between boxers and punchers in boxing history everything indicated that the fight would be memorable apparently Sadler had a substantial natural Advantage because he was taller and hit harder than pep perhaps that’s why Sadler was an 8 to5 betting favorite well J he was just close to 6 feet he was tall and skinny and uh I could never find him it was so was skny but uh he was tough that night 38781 people attended Yankee Stadium breaking the attendance record for a featherweight fight [Music] as the fight began pep was moving around his opponent punishing him with his trained Jab [Music] the Champion’s footwork looked Superior to saddlers allowing him to get in and out of exchanges when it suited him Sadler used faints with his long arms to keep his rival tense he knew it led to fatigue the game of the hunted and the hunter began pep demonstrated his great Mobility as usual [Music] [Music] [Music] however Sadler began to put pressure on the champion let pep took advantage of the inertia of his movements to throw punches with greater power [Music] the champion was surprised with a forceful blow after the clinch that left him on the canvas he was probably reproaching himself despite this pep was very good at dancing to the rhythm of his rival’s blows [Music] [Music] the beginning of the fifth round was somewhat chaotic Sadler did not want to leave the result of the fight in the hands of the referees and tried to hunt down the elusive pep he seemed to have tained the Beast for the moment with simple and effective combinations however pep was not a quintessential finisher like Saddler his hip movements added to his footwork made him a very difficult boxer to hunt however the fight seemed to be different when Sadler managed to shorten the distance each Blow from the Challenger entailing latent danger he gave the feeling that if the Champion’s legs managed to maintain that level of intensity for the rest of the fight he would be able to win the tension in the atmosphere was palpable [Music] [Music] to everyone’s surprise the champion did not leave his corner at the beginning of the eighth round because he dislocated his right shoulder at the end of the seventh round Sadler was proclaimed the new featherweight world champion pep lost despite being high on the judges cards this is one of the most memorable rivalries in boxing history subscribe for more content like this thanks for watching
