On the day of the fight against title champion Max Baer, many people in the country gather around in different places to support Jim Braddock because they see his comeback as new hope for the nation. After a tough battle, Jim wins the match against Baer and the whole nation cheers, including Mae and their children. Before the final credits, the film tells us that Jim and Mae bought a house in New Jersey with his winnings from the Baer fight. Jim boxes professionally for 2 more years and finally gets defeated by Joe Louis who calls Jim the bravest man he ever fought. He then goes to serve in WWII, and then opens up his own business on the same docks he worked at during the depression.
