Starts of with Bull dog Braddock on his way to become the heavy weight champion of the world
Then Suffers from a Broken right hand and begins a losing streak that would span years
shortly after his massive defeat by Lewis the Great Depression began
After he had fought several times against some other up and comers only to down played
leads to the loss of his boxing licence
Is then works at the docks to support the family
Where he met on of his friends \
With the work there his left arm strengthens
At some point his wife had sent away their children so they may be able to survive
Received much of their food from the Bread lines
In response James starts seeking money to get them back
Ends up at the last place many people would believe his old employer
Then finds work back as a boxer and wins the first fight back
Breaking his losing streak
He discovers that one of his dear friends that he had met at the docks was in a Hoverville
His friend later dies, but would haunt James wife for times to come
When he reaches the match with Max Baer He discovers and is warned about him even mocked by him
When he leaves for the match his wife discovers at the church hundreds of people praying for him
She decides to visit him
Finally the epic battle of James J. Braddock Vs. Max Baer
James J. Braddock wins
