Something must have happened to Maxie Strub. I don't know what. He was moving into the ranks of contenders, beating Wesley Ramey, Johnny Jadick, and Eddie Cool in succession in 1935. (The win over Ramey avenged an earlier loss.) Then, suddenly, after a loss to welterweight Dick Demaray--in Demaray's home town--Strub is finished.

Earlier in his career Strub also defeated Sammy Mandell, Sammy Dorfman, Luke Carr, and Mike Ballerino, while absorbing losses at the hands of Eddie (Kid) Wagner, Ray Miller, and Joe Marcus.

Something must have happened. Strub gave every indication of a fighter who could have gone farther.
