Joe Louis Defends Title
Three times in 1940, Joe Louis defended his heavyweight title--twice against the same person, Arturo Godoy. The first happened February 9th, a bout won by Louis in a 15 round decision. Lois would win the 2nd Aruto fight in June with an 8th round knockout.
The third title defense came December 16th against Al McCoy. That fight ended when McCoy could not come out for the 6th round.
